Sheet wire glass

The wire colourless and colored glass features high safety and fire resistance. When it is broken under mechanical or heat effect, its fragments are held by the reinforcing wire net. The wire glass is manufactured by continuous horizontal rolling of a glass ribbon. The wire net is pressed in the glass in the course of rolling. The wire glass is a first-class structural material and can be successfully used as a roofing and wall material for industrial projects, public and residential buildings, as well as in glazing skylights, making partitions, in plant growing and cattle breeding buildings and store houses, and other structures where the external decorative properties of glass are of little importance. The work’s assortment covers glass sheets whose length and width are multiple of 25. Upon the agreement with the customer, the glass sheets can be made of sizes other than those specified above. The produced glass is of the first and of the high grades. The glass sheets are rectangular in shape with the difference in the length of diagonals not in excess of 7 mm. the glass sheet surfaces may be smooth or one surface smooth while the other corrugated or figured. Nets welded of steel wire are used for glass reinforcement. The net is arranged over the entire sheet at a distance of not less than 1.5 mm from the glass sheet surface.

Stemalite

Stemalite is a flat glass, coated on one side with enamel and thermally treated to strengthen the glass and to secure the paint to it surface. Stemalite is suitable for facing the fronts of the public and industrial buildings, lining of rooms to impart high-grade architectural and artistic design. The area of stemalite sheets depends on the sheet thickness and amounts 0.6-1.7 m 2. Stemalite is produced of the window and plate polished glass. The stemalite sheets are of a rectangular shape. The difference in the length of the diagonals does not exceed 5 mm. The stemalite surface is flat. The sheet edges are dulled or cut out. Stemalite is painted with low-melting enamel paints of different colours upon agreement with the customer. The paint is applied in a uniform layer by spraying over the entire sheet surface and fused during thermal treatment. When broken, the stemalite fragments do not exceed 50 cm2 in area and 10 cm in maximum dimensions.

Hardened glass for ship’s port holes

The flat hardened glass is designed for port-holes or surface ships of all types. These articles are produced, worked and heat-treated of polished glass with wide intervals in length, width and thickness. The glass articles are of a regular shape. The glass is of a uniform thickness. The glass articles have polished ends and dulled edges. The glass features high mechanical strength and withstands without failure the test by the uniformly distributed static pressure and the test by the stamp method. The ultimate pressure is 2.5 times higher than the maximum permissible pressure in service, which fully meets the requirements of the effective standards. The hardened glass for the ship’s port holes meets the world standards with respect to its technical level.
