★Product Description
Acid-etched frosted glass is produced through controlled chemical corrosion of the surface layer using hydrofluoric acid-based solutions. This process creates permanent micro-pits on the glass substrate, resulting in a uniformly diffused surface that reduces glare while maintaining material strength.
Characterized by its satin-like appearance and haptic quality, acid-etched glass finds primary applications in architectural glazing, lighting fixtures, and environments where controlled light diffusion is required. As an irreversible surface modification technique, it provides superior durability compared to temporary coating solutions.
Key Features:
- Surface Effect: Permanent micro-pitted texture (0.5-5μm depth)
- Material Compatibility: Suitable for soda-lime, borosilicate, and aluminosilicate glass
- Compliance: Meets ISO 12543-4 standards for safety-tested glass processing
⚙Technical Specifications
Available Thicknesses:
- Regular: 3mm, 4mm, 5mm, 5.5mm, 6mm, 8mm, 10mm, 12mm
- Ultra-Thin: 1.3mm, 1.5mm, 1.8mm, 2mm
- Ultra-Thick: 15mm, 19mm, 22mm
Standard Sizes: 1524*2134mm, 1830*2440mm, 2134*3300mm, 2440*3660mm, etc. (Custom sizes available upon request).
Tactile Characteristics: Silk-like smooth texture with enhanced anti-slip properties (friction coefficient: 0.35-0.55) and high scratch resistance (Mohs hardness: 5.5-6.0).
✔Functional Properties
Light Diffusion: Creates a uniform matte surface through micro-pitting, eliminating glare while maintaining 70-92% light transmission.
Visual Performance: Achieves adjustable translucent privacy (haze: 40-95%) and effectively conceals fingerprints and minor surface defects.

Frequently Asked Questions
?What is the main advantage of acid-etched glass over sandblasted glass?
Acid-etched glass provides a much smoother, satin-like finish that is more resistant to fingerprints and easier to clean than sandblasted glass. The chemical process also ensures a more uniform surface.
?Can you provide customized sizes and thicknesses?
Yes, we can produce glass and mirrors according to customer-required specifications, including ultra-thin (1.3mm) and ultra-thick (up to 25mm) options and custom dimensions.
?What is the minimum order quantity (MOQ)?
The regular glass MOQ is one 20-foot container. For special glass types or specific project requirements, the MOQ can be negotiated. Mixed containers are accepted.
?Does the frosting affect the strength of the glass?
The acid-etching process modifies the surface light transmission properties without generating the stress concentrations typical of mechanical abrasion methods, maintaining the structural integrity of the substrate.
?What is the typical delivery time for orders?
For regular stocked glass, delivery is typically within 10 days after deposit. For customized or designed glass, the lead time is usually within 30 days, depending on the order quantity.
?Are your glass products certified for international markets?
Yes, our products carry major international certifications including CE, SGCC, and ISO, ensuring compliance with global safety and quality standards.
