What color glass is most expensive?
With the development of social needs, the demand for glass is increasing, and the corresponding glass industry is also increasing its market share. The quality and output of glass products have made great progress, especially the emergence and upgrading of glass machinery has brought great convenience to glass products. There are many glass processing machines for the same glass products, such as tube cutting machines, bottom blowing machines, nozzle pressing machines, etc. And the most used in the processing process is white glass, which is precisely because white glass is the cheapest glass.
The reason why the price of white glass is relatively low is that the production process is simple and does not require a lot of manpower, materials and machinery and equipment. The raw materials of white glass are low-cost chemical raw materials such as silica sand, sodium carbonate and limestone. The equipment in the production process uses electricity and oxygen natural gas, which are not high in consumption; the demand is relatively large and the output is large; in addition, white glass has high light transmittance, smooth and clean surface, and is easy to clean. It is widely applicable, including the construction industry, home furnishing industry and packaging industry.
Generally speaking, the price of green glass is relatively high. This is because green glass is difficult and expensive to produce. In order to retain the green color, chromium oxide must be added as a colorant during the manufacturing process. This oxide is relatively special and relatively expensive. The temperature must also be precisely controlled to allow it to melt, which requires special processes to control various factors such as gases, increasing control costs and time; in addition, the function of green glass is also relatively special. It has low light transmittance and can absorb infrared rays, so it can be used for sun protection and heat insulation, which makes its application areas more specific and irreplaceable; finally, although green glass is in high demand in some areas, the production volume is very small, which makes green glass in short supply and the price increases accordingly.
In short, white glass is the most affordable price and has a wide range of applications. It is the first choice for many glass companies. However, for real uses, it is still necessary to certify and compare the corresponding color glass in the market, such as bulletproof, soundproof glass or composite glass, etc.
