Minimize The Cost Of Facade Cleaning With Self Cleaning Glass

Author : Paul Johson


         


Glass, also referred as “super cooled liquid” is an all time useful commodity. Available in different finishes and coatings, these are processed through technologically advanced measures and undergo extreme heating and instant cooling procedures.

A comprehensive range of self cleaning glass is available in diverse coats, sizes, and thickness and finds application in computer monitors, automotives, PDA screens, buildings as well as different technical purposes. The outer surface of these glasses contains titanium dioxide coating which initiates two mechanisms namely hydrophilic effect and photo-catalytic effect, that adds to its self-cleaning properties. Owing to the photo catalytic decomposition, these glasses efficiently prevent grime and dirt on its surface. The long lasting, easy to clean, economical, visibility & transparency as well as eco friendly features makes it the preferred glass, fit for most outdoor applications such as structural glazing, glass sheet canopies, display windows, glass balconies and glass greenhouses etc. In fact, these glasses are ideal for use in those areas that are unsafe or hard to reach out for cleaning. The tempered glasses, also known as toughened glass, bears increased strength as compared to the normal glasses, owing to the controlled thermal or chemical treatments processed with hi-tech measures. Made from annealed glass through thermal tempering process, these are in high demand in the market. The balanced internal stresses provide strength to such glasses that makes it shatter into small fragments when broken. In fact, the strength and safety features makes it suitable for various applications such as glass doors, tables, furniture, plates, cookware, vehicle windows, diving masks etc. However these glasses remain susceptible to scratching as it is not as hard as the annealed glass, and hence, various coating or laminates are applied on its surface.

The present revolution in the glass industry has introduced various types of glasses that bear ideal properties and successfully edges over the conventional ones.
