What is inorganic glass
Inorganic glass is an amorphous solid material, mainly composed of inorganic oxides (such as silica), with high transparency, high temperature resistance, corrosion resistance and other properties. Unlike organic glass (such as acrylic), inorganic glass has higher chemical stability and is widely used in construction, electronics, optics and other fields. The following is a compilation of hot topics related to inorganic glass in the hot topics on the Internet in the past 10 days.
1. Characteristics and classification of inorganic glass
| Features | Description |
|---|---|
| High transparency | The light transmittance can reach over 90%, close to optical glass |
| High temperature resistance | Softening point is usually above 500℃ |
| chemical stability | Resistant to acid and alkali corrosion, not easy to age |
| High hardness | Mohs hardness 6-7, higher than plexiglass |
Inorganic glass can be divided into silicate glass, borate glass, phosphate glass, etc. according to its composition.silicate glassis the most common type.
2. Application fields of inorganic glass
| Application areas | Specific use |
|---|---|
| construction industry | Curtain wall glass, fire-resistant glass, energy-saving glass |
