Processing of glass parts

• Cutting, CNC milling, milling, cut outs
• Grinding, edge processing
• Drilling, drilling, deepening
• sandblasting, etching
• painting, printing
• Lamination, gluing, optical bonding

The glass panes can be cut into a wide variety of customer-specific shapes. Depending on the material and in compliance with the usual tolerances, bores, cut-outs or indentations can be implemented without any problems. The glass edges can be processed using various grinding methods. In addition to the classic edge cut, facets and miter edges are also possible.

Screen printing technology offers a variety of design options for printing, such as translucent prints for a “disappearing” effect for LEDs and light sensors. A ceramic burn-in print for maximum adhesion and durability is also possible. In addition to classic screen printing, digital printing is also available for decors and photo-realistic images.

Frosted glass surfaces are created by sandblasting or etching. The sandblasting process destroys the glass surface in a purely mechanical way. As a result, the glass becomes very rough and is therefore sensitive to dirt. With glass etching, the glass surface is chemically satinised. It is therefore easier to clean and hardly picks up dirt. Non-slip glass surfaces for bathroom scales, for example, can be realized using both of these methods, but with a special anti-slip coating.

Coatings of glass parts

There are different types of glass coatings that can be used depending on the desired function and application. For example, coatings can make glass surfaces more resistant to scratches and scuffs, or they can diffuse or reflect incoming light to reduce glare and improve visibility. The selection of the appropriate coating depends on the specific needs of the application, be it for buildings, vehicles, electronics or any other purpose. We offer the following coatings, among others:

The versatile properties of acrylic glass (PMMA)

Acrylic glass impresses with a high light transmittance of around 92%, making it a preferred material for transparent applications. It combines a good balance of strength, stiffness and impact resistance with a polishable surface. The possibility of special surface treatments makes acrylic glass additionally resistant to scratches and UV radiation, while cut surfaces can be given a high gloss. It also offers good electrical insulation properties.

Chemical and thermal resistance for various applications

Acrylic glass (PMMA) shows a high resistance to many chemical substances such as acids, alkalis of medium concentration and non-polar solvents. With a thermal load capacity of -40 to +75 °C, even up to 100 °C for short periods, and the ability to be formed above 120 °C, PMMA proves to be extremely adaptable for a wide range of applications.
