LOWE glass (also known as LOW-E glass, or low-emissivity glass) can block ultraviolet rays without affecting light transmission, mainly due to its special manufacturing process and coating technology. Here is a detailed explanation:
Principle of blocking ultraviolet rays
During the manufacturing process of LOWE glass, metal oxides such as titanium oxide, vanadium oxide, and iron oxide are added to ordinary glass, and the melting atmosphere is strictly controlled, resulting in body-absorbing ultraviolet-blocking glass. In addition, the surface of LOWE glass is usually coated with one or more layers of metal, alloys, or metal compounds, forming a metallic film layer. This film layer has a high reflectivity for infrared and ultraviolet rays, blocking over 90% of ultraviolet rays.
Principle of not affecting light transmission
Although the surface of LOWE glass is coated with a film layer, the transmittance of visible light is maintained at a relatively reasonable level. Sunlight consists of ultraviolet rays, visible light, and infrared rays. The special coating of LOWE glass mainly reflects and absorbs invisible light such as infrared and ultraviolet rays, while allowing most visible light to pass through. Therefore, the interior can still remain bright and will not become dim.
Actual effect
In practical applications, LOWE glass is commonly used in modern office buildings, residences, and other structures. After using LOWE glass, indoor lighting remains sufficient during the day, and the work of employees and daily life of residents are completely unaffected. At the same time, due to the good thermal insulation properties of LOWE glass, it can also reduce the use of air conditioning and improve indoor comfort.
Precautions
It is important to note that the quality of LOWE glass products on the market varies. If low-quality LOWE glass is selected, the film layer may be uneven or the light transmittance may not meet standards, which could indeed affect indoor lighting. Therefore, when choosing LOWE glass, it is essential to select products from reputable manufacturers with quality certification.
In summary, LOWE glass achieves excellent performance in blocking ultraviolet rays while not affecting light transmission through special manufacturing processes and coating technology.
