Anti-Glare(AG) processing machine for glass products
AG (Anti-Glare) Process
By creating rough texture onto the surface of glass, which make incident light reflect diffusely, glare from the glass surface (regular reflection) can be reduced.

Features of Chemical Anti-Glare(AG) processing machine
NSC’s AG process involves applying a chemical-based surface treatment (chemical AG process) directly to the surface of glass to form micro asperities and gives the glass an anti-glare effect under the likes of sunlight.
-
01.Durability
NSC’s AG process is directly applied to the surface of glass to produce a product with high durability relative to general methods such as coatings and films.
-
02.Surface Strength
A feature of the chemical AG process is that it does not generate any of the minute flaws (micro-cracks) that are characteristic of mechanical AG processes and therefore maintains the high surface strength of the glass.
-
03.Applicable to High-Definition Displays
The AG process suppresses sparkling light, which makes it ideal for fabricating the cover glass of high-definition displays.
04.Haze rate control
|
Haze rate can be controlled by regulating chemical usage amount during the process. |

Uses
|
Glass productions for vehicles that demand reduction in level of sparkling caused by interference between display and AG glass |
Example of use1. Cover glass for displays (for vehicles and industrial machines) |
