In a Glass Facade Installation (narrow frame Sliding door)  the glass panels show no clear look through optics. If you look from the inside to the outside realm. It has a slight milky/blurry appearance. Unfortunately it takes the desired effect of a somewhat clear vision.

The milkyness is "not" on the outside surfaces, therefore it ist not a cleaning nor a leaking insulated glass unit issue.

The glass composition as follows:

Float 6mm lowE (SGG Climalit)

White Glass/Diamant 4mm

Float 6mm lowE (SGG Climalit)

Can any one describe the details for the autoclave pressure and temperature settings for different thickness. Share any links or related articles for the same. We are now working with 12.5 bar pressure and 135 degree temperature ,hold time 100 minutes. By this setting is running good with 6mm glass. But by this setting 12 mm thickness is getting bubbles.I am thanking in advance for share any suggestions

But when we screen print a ceramic frit  3 inch border around the glass and temper the glass  the glass has a bow and is not flat. We have adjusted heat and or quench to solve this problem with no solution so far.

Hi everyone,

In the past we used to rework light and hard scratches with 3M Trizact 572 LA white belt. In time 3M stopped production of this item.

After not being able to find similar product, we switched back to using conventional methods, serium oxide with soft abrasives.

If any of you knows about a product similar to 3M Trizact 572 LA belt, please let me know. If you have successfull experiences with other products and/or materials, please let me know as well.

Thanks in advance.

Kind Regards

Hi everyone,

We have bought a new vertical straight-line glass edging machine but are having some issues with the diagonals of rectangular glasses, i.e. the diagonals are not equal. Is there anyone who can help out with this (rather easy to solve) issue?

Thanks,

Hello, I was hoping to get some professional opinions regarding glass issues at a construction project. We are a painting contractor that has blame being placed on them for scratched glass on tempered windows. The replacement is highly expensive so I was hoping to get some addition thoughts. One of the first things we do is cover the windows with 1.5" tape and then poly off the glass. After we were done and windows were uncovered, these scratches appeared (see attached photo).

Hello, I am a mechanical engineer with some special machinery design knowledge, I want to learn about glass industry machines, I have just know this world, and it seems really interesting. Could someone advice me how can I learn about glass industry machinery design? Where can I get technical info? Some interesting books? Thank you very much! 

Any recommendation which country has the best quality of the glass?
