Controlling the reflection of the likes of sunlight to give glass an anti-glare effect

A chemical-based surface treatment (chemical AG process) is applied directly to the surface of glass to form microasperities and give the glass an anti-glare effect under the likes of sunlight.

The advantages of performing AG process directly onto a glass workpiece

Glass Resin plates, coatings, films
Excellence in design NSC’s AG process is able to keep the beauty and high-quality texture which belong to the unique properties of glass workpieces. Looks whitish and cheapened on some occasions.
Heat resistance No deformation will occur while the heat is kept within 600℃.
→ Applicable in the situation where heat-resisting or flame-resisting materials are required.		 Most of the materials start to change in quality under the heat with a range from 80℃ to 120℃.
Chemical resistance The glass surface has high resistance to various kinds of chemicals.
→ Applicable to the environment involved with chemicals.		 Chemical degradation occurs when contacting with organic solvents.
UV resistance No chemical change
→ No change in quality even after a long-term use in outdoor spaces		 The color may turn yellow under the effect of UV radiation.
Friction durability Pencil hardness of at least 9H
→ Nearly no change in quality at locations where the products are frequently touched or rubbed.		 Hardness scale of most of the products is ranged from 2H to 6H.

Features

Compared with the reflection from a fluorescent light　NSC’s AG process is able to control the haze within a range of 1％～ 90％.
Appearance of the workpiece is adjustable according to the purpose of use. Contact us for details.

Excellent Writing Touch with Stylus

A person using a stylus to write on glass treated with the AG process will experience the same sensation as they would when using a pencil.

Available Sizes

The AG process can be applied to glass substrates with a size of up to 730mm × 920mm.

Optional Processes

Optional processes including ion exchange glass strengthening (as postprocessing), curving, and printing are also available.
