Manufacturing Technology Of Glass Mirror

Mirrors are usually made of smooth, ground and polished glass, which can reflect the image of their predecessors or objects through the light emission principle. Mirrors are indispensable daily appliances for human beings, widely used in all aspects of life, and are practical helpers in life and work

The glass mirror was invented by Venetians more than 600 years ago. The earliest method of making glass mirrors was usually to coat the surface of transparent or colored glass substrates with a metal coating. At first, the glass plate was plated with a mixture of tin and mercury, while the efficiency of making mercury mirrors was low and the mirror was not very bright. The most important thing was that Mercury vapor was toxic and harmful to people In 1843, German scientists invented the method of making glass mirrors by electroless silver plating, creating a new era in the mirror industry In the 1970s, scientists invented aluminum mirrors. Aluminized glass mirrors are cheaper, more durable and more radiant than silver plated glass mirrors
