JNS Glass & Coatings

Soda-lime glass is the most prevalent type of glass. Soda-lime is also known as “float, clear, soda-lime silica”. Soda-lime glass is prepared by melting the raw materials, such as soda, lime, silica, alumina, and small quantities of fining agents in a glass furnace at temperatures locally up to 1675°C. Soda-lime sheet glass is made by floating molten glass on a bed of molten tin. This method gives the sheet uniform thickness and very flat surfaces. Soda-lime glass is the base material for most clear, colored and patterned glass types. Soda-lime glass can be chemically tempered by JNS to increase mechanical strength and scratch resistance Soda-lime glass can be heat strengthened or heat tempered by JNS to increase thermal shock resistance and mechanical strength Soda-lime glass can be bent, laminated, machined, optically coated, chemically etched, sandblasted or colored Soda-lime glass has good flatness and surface quality due to float process JNS Glass & Coatings fabricated glass meets ASTM C 1036 standards JNS Glass & Coatings heat strengthened and fully tempered glass meets ASTM C 1048 standards For industrial application, JNS utilizes a wide range of manufacturers including Glaverbel, Pilkington, PPG, AGC, and Guardian

JNS Glass & Coatings supplies solid colored glass used for a wide range of industrial and lighting applications. The color is a part of the glass and is produced by mixing various metal oxides in the glass composition. This solid colored glass is not designed to be used as a precision-optic. If you require precise control of the spectral bands or have a very high temperature application, our dichroic coated filters or filter glass would be a better solution. Most colors available in sizes up to 24” x 48” MR11 (1.370”) and MR16 (1.965”) diameters for lighting are stocked and readily available from inventory Can be drilled, silk screened, sandblasted and fabricated to any shape or size Can be heat strengthened to gain additional thermal shock resistance and mechanical strength

JNS Glass and Coatings Non-Glare glass is manufactured by acid etching one or two surfaces of the glass, yielding uniform evenly diffused surfaces for high resolution applications. Non-glare glass disperses reflected light, allowing the user to focus on the transmitted image. Non-glare glass is available in several quality and etching levels: from picture frame quality to display quality, and from 60 to 140 gloss units. A lower gloss reading denotes a more diffuse panel. The use of a textured surface in front of a display allows suppressing inconvenient reflections of the display. It gives furthermore a paper-like feeling when using a pen and meets all quality requirements such as good resolution, contrast and flickering (sparkling) of the image. AR coatings can be applied to non-glare glass for additional control of reflection.Low reflection, High Resolution, Superior Durability and Anti-Newton Ring “Low-Sparkle” grade available for aviation display, military and other high tech display applications -85 or 100 gloss is standard but other gloss ratings available upon request Can be heat tempered, laminated or chemical strengthened Does not become highly reflective as a result of oily fingerprints like anti-reflective coated glass or untreated surfaces For quality assurance, gloss values measured by BYK Gardner Glossmaster model 4501 Available gloss range from 60° to 150° Custom thickness, sizes and gloss ranges from 60° to 150° are available upon request. Can be etched on one or both surfaces

JNS Glass & Coatings provides a wide range of Anti-Reflective (AR) coated glass products. Not only do we have the capability to custom coat substrates with custom Anti-Reflective (AR) coatings, we inventory a large range of Anti-Reflective (AR) coated glass that we distribute or machine down to smaller dimensions and shapes to meet our customer’s specifications. By virtually eliminating unwanted reflections JNS Glass & Coatings Anti-Reflective (AR) coatings improve contrast, enhance colors and increase brightness, creating an unobstructed, more dense view of the displayed information and image. JNS Glass & Coatings stocks Anti-Reflective (AR) coated glass ranging in thickness from .7mm to 12mm that has been coating on either one or two surfaces. Most of our Anti-Reflective (AR) coated materials can be thermally-toughened, laminated, bent, screen printed, drilled and edge-worked.

JNS Glass & Coating’s oleophobic topcoats will bond to both uncoated glass and antireflection coatings on the glass surface. The oleophobic coating improves the overall physical performance of an AR coating with the ability to resist fingerprints, water, oil, and chemicals. Its non-stick surface acts as a barrier to impurities, virtually eliminating the adverse effects of surface contamination. The oleophobic top coating can be applied either directly to the bare surface of uncoated glass or directly to the AR coated surface, allowing the AR coating to maintain its low level of reflectivity. The oleophobic coating provided by JNS Glass & Coatings is a more rugged and durable protection solution than the industry standard for oleophobic coatings typically used with an AR coating. The reflectance, transmittance, oleophobic and hydrophobic and severe abrasion resistance performance is superior and able to maintain its CWA performance for >12, 000 cycles of severe steel wool abrasion testing, over twice that of most alternates. Invisible to Naked Eye: When applied to AR coated surface, the AR coating maintains Resistant to Severe Abrasion and Scratches: Low coefficient of friction makes it rugged and durable, protecting the surface from scratches even in harsh or frequent use environments. Easy-to-Clean: Non-stick surface resists picking up dust and dirt contamination from the surrounding environment and is easy to clean and maintain. Fingerprint & Smudge Resistant: Oil resistant (Oleophobic) coating reduces adherence of finger-prints and smudges to help maintain pristine image quality even after repeated cleaning. Versatile: JNS Oleophobic coating be applied to sodalime, borosilicate, Gorilla Glass™, fused silica and other substrates ranging in thickness from 0.2mm to 5.00” and sizes up to 88” x 126” in size

SCHOTT Borofloat® 33 is a versatile borosilicate glass with excellent light transmission, thermal properties, and chemical resistance. Its unique properties make it desirable in many different applications, from high temperature lighting windows, view ports in extreme conditions, to the medical and semiconductor industry. Borofloat® wafers are an excellent substrate for MEMS (micro-electro-mechanical systems), as its coefficient of thermal expansion is very similar to silicon and allows for anodic bonding between the two. The low density of Borofloat® also makes it an excellent choice for lighter weight laminated glass systems such as bulletproof glass.

Bandpass filters transmit a specific portion of the spectrum while blocking shorter and longer wavelengths. The resulting increase in signal-to-noise ratio improves contrast and insures control of changes that may occur in ambient lighting conditions. Broad bandwidth, angular insensitivity and rugged designs allow our bandpass filters to be used with very wide angle lenses regardless of the varying spectral output of LED and laser diode lighting.Enhanced contrast for viewing of desired features Designed for compatibility with all commonly used LED and laser diode wavelengths and UV excited fluorescence emissions Shields systems from unwanted ambient light Limits the loss of resolution associated with chromatic aberrations Aids in increased LED light stability and longevity by facilitating operation at reduced power levels Essential for successful imaging in the UV and Near-IR. Visible light must be blocked to maximize contrast in these situations. Surface Quality: 4020
