How to protect glass storage Aug 20, 2020 To protect the surface of the glass from corrosion and scratches, a physical and chemical isolation layer should be maintained between the two pieces of glass during stacking and transportation. The cushion layer between the glass protects the surface of the glass from corrosion and Scratching function. Generally speaking, paper and powder are the two main barrier materials used in the flat glass industry. 1. Paper cushion: The paper used as the physical partition between two glass sheets can be acid treated to neutralize the alkali accumulated on the surface of the glass in the package (for example, the surface of soda lime glass is alkaline). However, it is unrealistic to use paper cushions in automated glass packaging equipment in actual production. When the glass is in use, according to the current practice, it is required to manually remove the glass wrapping paper, and then stack or collect them by hand, and reuse or throw away. 2. Powder spraying: suitable for glass mechanical packaging, mechanical packaging reduces the possibility of damaging the glass during manual handling. The powder isolation layer used in mechanical packaging is acid anti-mold powder.
