Notes
Glass Edging
Glass edges are required to be polished and well seamed. This would increase production yield. Meanwhile, glass properties such as mechanical strength, heat proof and thermal shock resistant would be obtained as what are expected.
Glass Washing
Potassium salt may adhere to glass surface after ion exchanging. Glass shall be thermally tempered and so glass washing is required if necessary.
Fully Melted Salt
When the system is started up at the first time, potassium salt and catalyst inside ion-exchange tank are heated up until they are fully melted. Glass batch is always dipped inside the tank when the chemicals are fully melted.
Salt & Catalyst Refill
The process consumes very little potassium salt and catalyst. Refilling of potassium salt and catalyst are required only when it is necessary.
Vary In Parameters
Parameters of pre-heating and ion-exchanging may slight vary in different glass compositions and glass residual stress. For example, soda lime glass takes longer bathing time while glass composed with magnesium, lithium and aluminum elements take shorter time when similar residual stress are required. Longer ion-exchanging time is required when higher mechanical strength is required.
