Clear-Float-Glasses Float glass is a sheet of glass made by floating molten glass on a bed of molten metal, typically tin, although lead and various low melting point alloys were used in the past. This method gives the sheet uniform thickness and very flat surfaces. Modern windows are made from float glass. Most float glass is soda-lime glass, but relatively minor quantities of specialty borosilicate and flat panel display glass are also produced using the float glass process. The float glass process is also known as the Pilkington process, named after the British glass manufacturer Pilkington, which pioneered the technique Float glass uses common glass making raw materials, typically consisting of sand, soda ash (sodium carbonate), dolomite, limestone, and salt cake (sodium sulfate). Other materials may be used as colourants, refining agents or to adjust the physical and chemical properties of the glass. The raw materials are mixed in a batch mixing process, then fed together with suitable cullet (waste glass), in a controlled ratio, into a furnace where it is heated to approximately 1500°C. Common flat glass furnaces are 9 m wide, 45 m long, and contain more than 1200 tons of glass. Once molten, the temperature of the glass is stabilised to approximately 1200°C to ensure a homogeneous specific gravity

Clear float glass is made of molten glass which flows through tweel to tin bath and then to lehr. While floating through the molten tin, the glass under the works of gravity and surface tension becomes smooth and flat at both sides. Clear float glass is transparent and offers a high visible light transmittance. These products are sourced from good quality float glass producers. Clear float is sold as cut-to-size or bulk form. Clear float is also available in laminated and toughened form.Our float glass products are very high quality with perfectly flat, excellent optical performance, stable chemical capability and high mechanism intensity. There is no distortion/roller wave or other imperfections and it's able to be tempered and further processed. The clear float glass is also resistant to acid, alkali and corrosion. The specifications and features of our float glass are as follows: Smooth and flat surface, and good vision. Flexible size specifications minimizing cutting loss. Substrata for each level of glass processing. Float Glass Is used for : Architecture Mirror Full shaded windows Showcases and other displays Glass panels and screens Furniture and decoration Thickness Availability 2.0mm, 2.5mm, 3.0mm, 3.5mm, 4.0mm, 5.0mm, 6.0mm, 8.0mm, 10.0mm, 12.0mm, 15mm, 19mm Size Max upto 2440mm x 3660mm Note: We can also provide any specific size if the order is upto 2 ton
