What is satin glass?

Satin frosted glass was first made by the East Cambridge Company in England. It is well known that the creators of satin glass were two retired engineers, who were looking for a new idea for frosting and preserving the privacy of homes.

Part of the budget for making satin glass was supported by the University of Cambridge.

Satin glass is used in many interior decorations and office facades due to its eye-catching and stunning beauty.

 

The process of making satin glass | How to make frosted glass

Satin glass belongs to the matte glass family. Satin glass is obtained by immersing the glass in hydrofluoric acid.

Also, if access to hydrofluoric acid is not available, other abrasive acids are used.

This method is caused by acid washing, unlike sandblasted glasses

(Keep in mind that sandblasted glasses become opaque by sandblasting, that's why they have depressions) Make the surface of the glass completely uniform and smooth.

In short, satin glass undergoes chemical treatment in reaction with hydrofluoric acid, for this reason it becomes opaque and part of the gloss surface of the glass is lost.

If we want to express the production process of satin glass in a numbered and orderly manner, it is as follows:

1- Glass selection: In the first step of making glass, you must choose the type of glass used to make satin glass.

In the satin production process, they usually use tempered glass; Because this glass has high strength.

*Important note: contrary to what many people think, satin glass is not an independent type of glass. In fact, satin glass is obtained from a base glass by applying changes such as mixing with certain acids and obtaining a matte property.

 

2- Preparing the glass surface: The glass surface must be cleaned well.

This process includes cleaning any particles, dust, pollution and assurance

It is from the uniformity of the glass surface.

3- Immersion in acid: this step is one of the most important steps in making satin glass, which must be done carefully and using high-quality and standard acid.

In this step, chemical changes are made on the surface of the glass by using certain acids such as hydrofluoric acid.

4- Product composition: At this stage of the glass production process, with the application of acid and chemical changes, we come across a matte glass. The most important point is that acidic compounds should be applied in such a way that the surface of the glass is

The face is evenly matted.

5- Washing and removal of acids: after chemical changes, the glass is carefully washed so that there are no traces of additional substances such as acids. At this stage, we should get a smooth and even matte surface.

After completing all the above steps, the satin glass is ready to be used for various purposes.

 

 

Characteristics of satin glass
