Turkmenistan masters colored glass production

Specialists of the country's flagship glass industry, the Turkmen aýna önümleri enterprise of the Türkmensenagat agency of the Ministry of Industry and Communication, mastered the new type of product. A batch of sheet glass (about half a million square meters) painted in blue and green has been released. With repeated heat treatment and prolonged use, the color does not change. This was reported by Turkmenistan: the Golden Age.

For the production of non-ferrous products, glass oxides first used iron and cobalt oxides. These so-called molecular dyes, when introduced into the molten glass, are completely dissolved in it. Adding to the glass melting process in certain proportions oxides of manganese, nickel, chromium, you can get a wide color palette.

In addition to the molecular method of staining glass, the company uses ion-plasma and magnetron sputtering, which makes it possible to apply alloys of various metals — aluminum, silver, titanium, nickel, chromium, as well as their compounds — to produce products coated with blue, green, silver, golden color and other shades.

In addition, metal spraying allows the glass to give additional useful properties. For example, when using magnetron sputtering at the plant receive energy-saving tinted glass.

The stained glass obtained using innovative technologies has a wide range of applications: for creating stained-glass windows, glazing of building facades, in interior design, in the manufacture of lamps and decorative glass structures, as well as for the manufacture of dishes, various accessories, medical, photo and video equipment, and other products .
