The hazy effect of oil sand glass is mainly achieved through special surface treatment technologies, which mainly include the following types:

1. Sandblasting and clear coat treatment

An early method was to sandblast ordinary glass to create microscopic uneven textures on the surface. Then, a thin layer of clear coat is sprayed onto the sandblasted glass surface.

This layer of clear coat not only makes the glass surface look brighter but also improves light transmission. However, the disadvantage of this method is that long-term exposure to air or human touch may cause the clear coat to peel off, affecting the appearance.

2. Acid etching process

Another common treatment method is acid etching. The specific steps are to clean the powder from the surface of the whole sandblasted or patterned sandblasted glass with dilute acid, and then apply oil sand for acid corrosion reaction.

The finished product of this process has good light transmission, does not stick fingerprints, and is not easy to scratch. Dilute acid mainly acts as a cleaning agent in the acid etching process, but it should be noted that prolonged stay time will cause the glass surface to fog and become matte.

3. Smokeless oil sand process

There is also a new type of smokeless oil sand process on the market, which has been effectively improved on the basis of the original oil sand agent. The biggest feature of this process is that it eliminates the cumbersome sandblasting process, and the glass can be directly immersed in the chemical solution for corrosion.

The chemical solution produces basically no odor, and the corroded particles are uniform and unique, which can produce a unique hazy effect.

4. Water-based oil sand glass frosted powder treatment

In recent years, with the development of technology, a method using water-based oil sand glass frosted powder for surface treatment has emerged. This method can achieve the oil sand effect simply by adding water, which is simple and easy to master.

The frosted particles on the glass surface treated with water-based oil sand glass frosted powder are relatively large, with a strong three-dimensional effect, and shimmer like diamonds under the light. At the same time, this treatment method also makes the glass easy to clean and maintain.
