produced by the sandblasting of clear float glass. It has the effect of rendering the glass translucent by scattering of light during transmission, thus blurring images while still transmitting light. Gold Plus frosted glass is produced to automatic machine to ensure uniformity in frosting.

reflective glass called ReflectaGold is manufactured with online coating process called pyrolytic coating. As the name suggests, the on-line process consists of applying the coating during the glass production. The coating is fused into the glass while it is still hot in the annealing lehr. The basic advantage of this process is durability. There are no special handling limitations, therefore the product can be treated as a normal sheet of glass.

Heat Strengthened Glass is a semi tempered glass which is valued as it retains the normal properties of annealed glass including chemical resistance, hardness expansion and deflection but with the exceptional strength & breakage characteristics

Float glass is made from a combination of several ingredients such as sand, soda ash, dolomite, limestone, salt cake, and cullet (recycled glass).The raw materials are received and stocked in storage areas. From storage areas they are then moved as needed to the silos. The raw materials are then drawn down from the silos for batch weighing and mixing. Cullet, which is crushed glass from edge trim of the cut lites or from broken cut lites, is blended with the mixed batch to make from up from 15% to 30% of each batch. The mixture is then delivered to the melting furnace by belt conveyor.

The ordinary curved glass is achieved by heating the glass to softening temperature and then bending by weight or external force, followed by natural cooling.The curved tempered glass or curved heat strengthened glass is made by fast cooling with air blowing after formation.Gold plus adopt the advanced synchronized roller way formation technology, being able to produce curved tempered glass.

Ceramic printed glass also known as silk screen glass can be used in applications where it is important to mask a part or whole of glass for privacy or hiding the back ground or enhancing the look of the product for aesthetical reasons. Gold Plus Ceramic Printed Glass is made by printing screen a layer of ceramic material on annealed glass before tempering or heat strengthening. After tempering or heat strengthening the layer of ceramic frit is heat bonded to glass surface making it resistant to chipping and peeling. In addition to its decorative affects Gold plus ceramic printed glass also has outstanding mechanical features and impact resistance property as it is either tempered or heat strengthened. Color and patterns can be customer designed.

The basic advantage of this process is durability. There are no special handling limitations, therefore the product can be treated as a normal sheet of glass. This glass is ready to be cut, heat strengthened and toughened. Due to its characteristics, it is also known as hard coated glass and the process as hard coating.

Tempered glass is being used increasingly in architecture because of its strength and safety properties. It is usually installed in areas where safety glass is required to lessen the possibility of mechanical or thermal breakage and or to assure greater uniform load strength. Glass is tempered by taking annealed glass and heating it to its softening point of approximately 660 C. its surface is then rapidly cooled while the inner core is allowed to cool gradually. This results in layers of high compression on the surface counter balancing by high tension at the center resulting in a glass that is four to five times stronger than annealed glass. Should accidental breakage occur, the resulting fragments are small and granular, causing minimum injury.

From the working end of the melting furnace, the glass flows through the canal area and then into the float furnace (tin bath or float bath) onto molten tin. The float furnace atmosphere is controlled by a mixture of nitrogen and hydrogen gas to prevent the tin from oxidizing.

The molten glass, which by now has dropped to 1100 degrees C, forms a continuous ribbon that floats on the molten tin. The desired width and thickness is obtained through an operator controlled program which sets the speed of the annealing lehr and knurl machines. The ribbon thickness can range from 2 to 12 mm. As the continuous ribbon moves through the float furnace its temperature is gradually reduced allowing the glass to become flat and parallel.

The float furnace consists of support steel, upper and lower welded steel casings, a refractory liner, tin, electric heating elements, an oxygen eliminating atmosphere system, temperature sensors, and a computerized process control system. Gold Plus float furnace is specifically designed to respond to heat flow balance, desired ribbon width of 3660mm, glass thickness of 2 -12mm, glass color of clear and green and the gross daily production tonnage of 460 tonnes per day.

facades safety glass need to be chosen to ensure minimum or no injury even on glass breakage or failure. Normal annealed glass is not regarded as safety glass. Toughened or Laminated glasses are safety glasses. Even heat strengthen glass is not considered as safety glass unless its laminated.
