Gloss- The Important Parameter of AG Glass Industry

By gelivableglass In AG Glass

Why gloss is the important parameter of AG glass industry? It is well known that each industry/product has a corresponding core parameter. Its meaning is to become the reference line of the object, and its value represents the changes of the parameters.

Therefore, this also allows buyers to better select models suitable for different requirements.

Simply speaking, the higher the gloss, the lower the haze, but the worse the anti-glare effect. The lower the gloss, the higher the haze ,and the better the anti-glare effect.

It’s no problem that you don’t know granularity, haze, clarity, sparkle, etc.However, you should get familiar with the related knowledge of the gloss of AG glass.

For buyers who are exposed to the AG glass industry for the first time, although they understand the simple parameters of gloss, it is still difficult to choose the suitable gloss if they want to apply them to different industries.

 

 

Although it is impossible for us to fully grasp the application of gloss through an article, we can have a basic understanding of gloss values that are applicable to different industries.

  • Gloss Value 110 , and it’s applicable to automotive industry.

Many customers asked, the gloss of the glass itself is about 125, is the anti-glare effect of the gloss 110 really enough? Gelivable team is also confused about that. We know that the lower the gloss is, the better the anti-glare effect is.We have consulted many customers, but there is no good answer. But AG Gloss 110+AR+AF is the standard in this automotive industry.

  • Gloss Value 95, which is applicable to indoor strong light environment, such as medical equipment, ultrasonic projector, cash register, POS machine, bank signature board, etc. Here we mainly consider the relationship between gloss and clarity. That is, the higher the gloss, the higher the clarity.

3) Gloss Value below 70, and it is suitable for outdoor environments, such as ATM, advertising machine, display screen of train platform and engineering vehicle (excavator, agricultural machines) ,etc.

4) Gloss Value below 50, and it’s suitable for countries and regions with strong direct sunshine.

We have a glass cover for ATM with a gloss of 70, which has been exported to China and Japan since 2008. The specifications have never changed. We always set this standard as the fixed standard for ATM, and we directly recommend this specification for all ATM cases. However, a customer gave us feedback that the samples of gloss 70 cannot reach the anti-glare effect. It turns out that this customer is in a Middle Eastern country and the sun is quite strong, so the gloss of 70 is not enough, and a lower gloss is needed.

5) Gloss value below 35, and it is applicable to touch pad. For example, the computer mouse board and other no display function of touch pads. This kind of product takes advantages of the characteristics “paper-like touch” of AG glass, which makes it smoother to touch and not easy to leave fingerprints.

The above info can be used as a reference for everyone, but it is not recommended to copy it directly, and we should also consider the actual situation. Welcome to follow Gelivable, and we’ll share more real cases for your better understanding of the core knowledge of the industry.
