Our soda lime float glass sheets are made from an ultra-clear, low-iron soda-lime silicate formula (approximately 70% SiO₂, 14% Na₂O, 7% CaO, 6% Al₂O₃).
- Produced by the float process, they yield exceptionally flat, transparent panels with extremely high optical clarity.
- This glass offers excellent visible light transmittance (typically ≥91%) and robust surface hardness (>9H pencil hardness),
- making it ideal for protective cover glass on industrial displays, touchscreens, and other panel applications.
- Standard sheet sizes are around 1300×1100 mm with thicknesses from 0.25 mm up to 2.0 mm (larger or thicker sheets available on request).
- Glass can be cut, chamfered, polished, or drilled per customer requirements.
- For higher-strength requirements, the glass can be thermally tempered or chemically strengthened (ion-exchange),
- achieving surface compressive stresses up to 600–650 MPa for greatly improved impact and scratch resistance.
- Its combination of high transparency, strong durability, and the cost advantages of large-area float production
- make soda lime glass a highly cost-effective transparent panel solution for industrial projects worldwide.
