Uitra-clear tempered glass with low ironcontent for superior transparency andtrue-to-color performance.
Product Overview
Low iron tempered glass is produced from low iron raw glass and then processed through a tempering furnace. Compared with standard clear glass, low iron glass has lower iron oxide content, which reduces the greenish color on the glass body and edges.
After tempering, the glass gains stronger impact resistance and improved safety performance while maintaining excellent optical clarity. This makes it especially suitable for projects where appearance, transparency and color accuracy are important.
Key Benefits
Ultra-Clear Appearance
Low iron tempered glass has a clearer and more neutral appearance than standard clear glass. It is suitable for projects that require high transparency and a premium visual effect.
Reduced Green Tint
Standard clear glass often shows a green tone, especially on thicker glass edges. Low iron glass greatly reduces this green tint and provides a cleaner look.
High Light Transmission
Low iron tempered glass allows more visible light to pass through, making spaces feel brighter and more open. It is a good choice for facades, storefronts and interior glass applications.
Strong and Safe
After tempering, low iron glass becomes stronger and safer. When broken, it breaks into small blunt particles instead of large sharp pieces.
Ideal for Premium Projects
Because of its high clarity and refined appearance, low iron tempered glass is widely used in luxury retail stores, hotels, villas, corporate offices and high-end architectural projects.
