1. What are Custom Float Glass and Irregularly Shaped Colorless Optical Glass?
Custom float glass is glass manufactured using the float process, which involves shaping molten glass by floating it in a bath of molten tin. This process results in a smooth, flat surface, suitable for mass production of transparent or colored glass. Custom float glass can be customized to meet specific customer requirements in terms of size, shape, thickness, and other characteristics, and is widely used in construction, automotive, and home appliances.
Irregularly shaped colorless optical glass is a type of transparent optical glass manufactured into various irregular shapes (such as curved or beveled surfaces) through special cutting and grinding processes. It is used in high-precision optical equipment. This type of glass is commonly used in lenses, optical instruments, and displays, offering extremely high transparency, excellent optical performance, and precise dimensional control.

High Strength and Durability
Float glass undergoes special treatment during production, giving it high strength, adaptability to various harsh environments, and a long service life.
Advantages of Irregularly Shaped Colorless Optical Glass：
High Transparency and Extremely Low Color Difference
Colorless optical glass has extremely high transparency and minimal color difference, ensuring high imaging quality for optical equipment.
Custom Shapes
Irregularly shaped colorless optical glass can be customized into various complex shapes to meet diverse application needs, such as curved lenses or lenses in special optical instruments.
High Precision and Consistency
During the production process, the dimensions and shape of this glass are precisely controlled, ensuring consistent optical performance and meeting the requirements of high-precision optical equipment.
3. Product Maintenance and Care
Custom float glass maintenance and care
Cleaning: Float glass has a smooth surface. Use a soft, lint-free cloth to clean it, avoiding scratches. For stubborn stains, use a neutral detergent.
Avoid heavy impacts: Although custom float glass is strong, avoid violent impacts and heavy pressure to prevent breakage or damage.
Prevent UV exposure: Prolonged exposure to strong sunlight may cause surface aging of float glass; therefore, avoid prolonged exposure.
Irregularly shaped colorless optical glass maintenance and care
Cleaning: Use a dedicated optical cleaning cloth for cleaning, avoiding abrasive materials. Choose a neutral, non-corrosive cleaning solution.
Storage: Irregularly shaped colorless optical glass should be stored in a dry, moderately warm environment, avoiding high temperatures, humidity, and drastic temperature changes.
Prevent scratches: Optical glass is fragile and should be kept away from hard objects to prevent scratches and damage.
4. Frequently Asked Questions
