Key Technologies in Glass Bottle Hardness Enhancement: From Material Upgrades to Smart Manufacturing

1. Balancing Hardness & Clarity: Two Pillars of Quality
In glass bottle production, hardness and transparency aren’t separate goals—they’re achieved through smart material science and precise manufacturing. At Nantong Jiahua Glass, here’s how we make it work:

High-Purity Materials

  • Use quartz sand with ≥72% SiO₂, mixed with boron-magnesium ore and sodium carbonate.

  • Result: Tighter glass structure boosts Mohs hardness to 6.2 (vs. 5.5 for regular glass).

Smart Cooling Process

  • Multi-stage cooling from 580°C to 320°C using PLC-controlled systems.

  • Benefits:

    • 98% stress removal

    • Light transmission >91% (ASTM D1003)

    • Micro-hardness ≥5.8 GPa (ISO 9385)

2. Surface Toughness: Coatings & Structure Tweaks
Hot-End Coating

  • Apply tin chloride vapor at 650-750°C right after molding.

  • Creates 20-50nm tin oxide layer:

    • Scratch resistance up 40%

    • Handles internal pressure ≥1.2MPa

Cold-End Coating

  • Spray polyethylene wax/silicone blend post-cooling:

    • Reduces friction to 0.15

    • Protects during shipping without hiding shine

3. Smart Powder Spray: Fixing Cracks & Stress
Our 4th-gen auto-spray system tackles weak spots:

How It Works

  • Use ammonium sulfate powder (200-400 mesh).

  • During heating (300-500°C), it breaks down:
    Absorbs heat to even out temperature
    Reacts with glass to fill tiny gaps

Why It’s Better

  • Cracks drop from 1.2% to 0.15%

  • Crush strength jumps 25% (≥1200N, GB/T 4546)

  • Precision control:

    • Dosing error <0.5%

    • Infrared cameras check coverage
