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
