Wire-dyed glass is also known as shatterproof glass or steel wire glass. Wire-wound glass can be made into wire-wound fire-resistant glass, wire-wound bulletproof glass and other products. Because the wire or metal mesh is embedded inside the wire glass, the overallity and safety are improved. It is sometimes referred to as anti-theft glass.
Wire glass production process:
First, the general flat glass is heated to a red heat softening condition, and then the preheated iron wire or wire mesh is quickly pressed into the middle of the red hot glass. During the calendering process, the glass is in a semi-liquid state, and the wire is simply blended with the glass.
Advantages and defects of wired glass:
1. High intensity. Wired glass has higher strength than ordinary glass. When the glass is subjected to intense impact or temperature changes, it will not break even if it is cracked and broken. When the flame is encountered, the glass will not crack. Will fall, adhere to a fixed situation, and play a certain role in blocking the extension of the fire.
2. Good security. The wire glass is covered with a barbed wire of a certain density, which improves the safety of the glass from the whole. If the glass is dropped, the person cannot pass through, and thus it also has an anti-theft function.
3, easy to present bubbles and discoloration. In the production process, the screen is simply oxidized under the effect of high temperature, and the appearance of the glass is simply yellow or bubbles similar to "rust spots".
4. The light transmittance is poor. The glass itself is highly translucent, and when it participates in the wire mesh, it causes a certain disturbance to the visual effect, and the perspective is not particularly good.
5. If the wire at the edge of the glass is not treated well, it will be oxidized and corrosion for a long time, which will affect the beauty.
Wired glass application:
Skylights, canopy roofs, and doors and windows susceptible to vibration; use of fire protection data for secondary doors and windows; wire glass for earthquake-proof applications, buildings with high seismic protection requirements and buildings with industrial oscillations;
