Product Introduction to 90° Right-Angle Bent Glass

In the field of glass deep processing, 90° Right-Angle Bent Glass has become an innovative product with both aesthetic and practical values due to its unique design, excellent performance and wide application scenarios. It breaks the morphological limitations of traditional flat glass and is precisely bent into a right-angle structure through advanced thermal processing technology, bringing new possibilities to spatial design, home decoration, commercial display and other fields.

1. Product Process Analysis: The "Transformation" from Flat to Right Angle

The birth of 90° right-angle bent glass comes from the precise control of glass bending process. Its core production process can be summarized as the following steps:

First is raw sheet selection. Generally, high-quality float glass raw sheets are selected, which have the characteristics of high light transmittance, good flatness and few impurities, laying the foundation for the performance of the product after bending. According to different application scenarios, ordinary clear glass, ultra-clear glass (with a light transmittance of more than 92%, which is more pure visually), and even tempered glass raw sheets (which can be tempered later to improve strength) can be selected.

Second is mold preparation. In order to achieve a precise 90° right-angle shape, a high-precision mold needs to be customized. The material of the mold is generally a high-temperature resistant metal alloy, and the arc and dimensional tolerance of the right-angle part need to be strictly controlled to ensure the shape consistency of each piece of bent glass.

The key link is bending treatment. The glass raw sheet is placed on the mold and sent into a special bending furnace. The temperature in the furnace will slowly rise to the softening point of the glass (generally between 600℃ and 700℃). At this time, the glass gradually becomes soft and gradually fits the right-angle shape of the mold under its own gravity and the constraint of the mold. In this process, the heating rate, holding time and cooling rate of the temperature need to be precisely controlled - too fast heating can easily lead to uneven deformation of the glass, and too fast cooling may produce internal stress, affecting the strength of the product.

Finally is subsequent treatment. If the product needs higher strength, tempering treatment can be carried out to form a compressive stress layer on the glass surface, and the impact resistance is greatly improved; if it is used for decoration or special scenarios, processes such as coating, screen printing and sandblasting can also be carried out to give it additional functions such as anti-glare, artistic patterns and privacy protection.

2. Core Advantages of the Product: Dual Breakthroughs in Performance and Aesthetics

(1) Structural and Strength Advantages

90° right-angle bent glass adopts an integrated forming process. Compared with the traditional "flat glass splicing + gluing" structure, there is no splicing gap, which not only has a more integrated visual effect, but also significantly improves the structural stability. Especially for the bent glass after tempering treatment, its impact strength is 3-5 times that of ordinary glass, and its bending strength is 2-3 times that of ordinary glass, which can effectively cope with collisions, extrusion and other external forces in daily use.

(2) Optical and Aesthetic Advantages

High-quality bent glass maintains the high light transmittance of the original glass. Products made of ultra-clear glass can present a nearly colorless transparent effect, allowing light to transmit smoothly in the right-angle structure, creating a transparent and open visual feeling for the space. Its neat 90° right-angle shape fits various design styles such as modern simplicity and industrial style, and can be used as a "visual focus" in the space or as a low-key "functional supporting role" to enhance the delicacy of the overall design.

(3) Sealing and Durability Advantages

In scenarios such as aquarium and bathroom that require waterproofing, the integrated structure of 90° right-angle bent glass has a natural sealing advantage. The right-angle edge without splicing can be closely fitted with other glass or accessories. With professional sealant, it can effectively prevent water leakage and air leakage. At the same time, the glass material itself has the characteristics of corrosion resistance and easy cleaning. After long-term use, it can be restored to cleanliness with simple wiping, and its durability is far better than similar products made of wood, plastic and other materials.

3. Application Scenarios: "All-round Player" in Multiple Fields

(1) Aquarium Field: Creating a Dynamic Water World

In the production of fish tanks, 90° right-angle bent glass is an ideal choice for small and medium-sized ornamental fish tanks. It can create a "frameless" visual effect, allowing viewers to enjoy the flexible posture of aquatic organisms in all directions. For example, for a small desktop tropical fish tank, after using ultra-clear 90° right-angle bent glass, the light transmittance is extremely high, and the emerald green of aquatic plants and the colorful colors of fish can be perfectly presented, adding a touch of natural vitality to the home. Large seawater fish tanks can also use a combination of multiple right-angle bent glasses to build a marine landscape with rich layers to meet the professional needs of aquarium enthusiasts.

(2) Home Decoration: Defining a New Style of Space

• Bathroom Partition: 90° right-angle bent glass can be used as a partition for the dry and wet areas of the bathroom, replacing traditional shower curtains or brick walls. Transparent or translucent (sandblasted) glass partitions can make the bathroom space appear more spacious, while effectively preventing water vapor from spreading and keeping the dry area dry.
• Creative Furniture: Such as glass side tables and corner cabinets, furniture made of 90° right-angle bent glass has a simple and modern shape and can be matched with various home styles. The transparency of glass can also reduce the sense of space depression, especially suitable for small homes.
• Decorative Ornaments: Small 90° right-angle bent glass can be used as vases and storage boxes. Its unique shape is itself a work of art. Inserting a few flowers or storing some small objects can add delicacy to the desktop and entrance.

(3) Commercial Display: Helping Brands Attract Attention in Marketing

• Jewelry Display Cabinet: In high-end jewelry stores, the corners of display cabinets made of 90° right-angle bent glass can make the display space more designed. At the same time, the high light transmittance can highlight the bright light of jewelry to the greatest extent and enhance the high-end image of the brand.
• Window Display: The windows of fashion brands can use 90° right-angle bent glass to build creative scenes, such as a right-angle "time tunnel" and "geometric wonderland", to attract the attention of passers-by and convey the brand's fashion attitude.
• Office Partition: In modern office spaces, 90° right-angle bent glass partitions can divide independent work areas, which not only ensure the privacy of the space, but also maintain the open sense of the overall space through transparent glass, helping to create an efficient and comfortable office environment.

(4) Industrial and Special Fields: Solving Complex Needs

In some industrial equipment, 90° right-angle bent glass can be used as an observation window, such as the right-angle observation window of a chemical reactor, which not only meets the observation needs of 90° viewing angle, but also can withstand the pressure and medium corrosion inside the equipment. In the laboratory, it can also be used to make special experimental containers or protective devices to ensure the safety and visibility of experimental operations.

5. Quality Assurance, Installation and Maintenance

(1) Quality Inspection

Every piece of 90° right-angle bent glass undergoes strict quality inspection before leaving the factory, including:

• Dimensional tolerance inspection: Ensure that the error of length, width and right-angle is within the industry standard range (generally controlled within ±1mm);
• Appearance inspection: Check whether there are defects such as bubbles, scratches and deformation on the glass surface;
• Performance inspection: For tempered products, carry out impact resistance and bending strength tests; for products in waterproof scenarios, carry out water pressure sealing tests.

(2) Installation Guide

• Aquarium scenario: When installing, ensure the bottom of the glass is flat, apply special fish tank glue evenly, and fill with water only after the glue is completely cured (usually 72 hours).
• Partition scenario: Select a suitable metal frame or support structure based on the glass size. During installation, pay attention to keeping the glass vertical to avoid cracking due to uneven force.
• Furniture scenario: When combining with other materials (such as wood and metal), use buffer pads to prevent direct friction between the glass and hard materials, thus extending its service life.

(3) Maintenance Suggestions

For daily cleaning, neutral glass cleaner and a soft rag can be used for wiping. Avoid using steel wire balls, strong acid and alkali cleaners to prevent damage to the glass surface. If there are slight scratches, special glass polishing agent can be used for treatment; if there is serious damage, it should be replaced in time to ensure safe use.
