Microcrystalline glass (CRYSTOE and NEOPARIES), also known as microcrystalline jade or ceramic glass, is an inorganic non-metallic material. Microcrystalline glass looks quite different from our common glass. It has the dual properties of glass and ceramics. The arrangement of atoms inside ordinary glass is not regular, which is one of the reasons why glass is fragile. Microcrystalline glass, on the other hand, is composed of crystals like ceramics, which means that its atomic arrangement is regular. Based on these characteristics, microcrystalline glass is commonly used in induction cookers, refrigerators and other places that require heating.

Compared with ordinary glass, microcrystalline glass has excellent performance in high temperature resistance and toughness, but compared with the theoretical strength of the glass is still slightly insufficient, as shown in Figure 1, the actual strength of the glass and the strength of the glass after physical toughening and theoretical strength difference of 2~3 orders of magnitude, the most important influence lies in the glass surface of the microcracks.

For some users with higher demands, microcrystalline glass panels still have certain risks. Falling from a high level, regular microcrystalline glass will be broken, how to improve the impact strength of microcrystalline glass has become a necessity for high-performance home appliances, Winlight Optical has proposed a solution according to the market demand, which not only ensures the performance of microcrystalline glass panels, but also improves the impact strength of the panels.

Winlight Optics fills the microcracks of the microcrystalline glass through the appropriate particle size silica sol, which makes the microcrystalline glass panel have better impact strength. Drying conditions: 80℃ pre-setting for 10min, slowly increasing the temperature value of 200℃/8min, slow cooling with the furnace. Construction conditions are the same as conventional toughening, no additional equipment is needed except for the coating machine.

Microcrystalline glass enhancement liquid can choose roller coating, dip coating, spraying, spin coating and other coating processes, applicability is strong, the product is homogeneous and transparent after the formation of the film, and has no effect on the substrate. Actual test shows that the enhanced microcrystalline glass, with 535g weight in 80cm height fall without rupture, surface cracks, but the microcrystalline glass is not broken. The panel not strengthened by the microcrystalline glass enhancement solution is completely broken, glass failure is reduced by 75~83%, and safety is improved, the effect is shown in the video.

In addition to improving the strength of the panel, the microcrystalline glass can be made thinner and require less energy consumption under the same strength. More options are available at the product design level.
