Problems solved by technology

[0005] At present, CN1236670 has related reports on the influence of the formulation of molten salt on tempering performance. The catalyst added is composed of potassium silicate, silicon dioxide, potassium permanganate and manganese dioxide in a certain proportion. It can speed up the ion exchange and shorten the process time, but in actual production, the contamination of the molten salt by sample racks, heaters, heater replacement ope...

Abstract

The invention provides an additive which can accelerate ion exchange, purify a molten salt and prolong the service life of the molten salt aiming at the KNO3 molten salt in low-temperature ion exchange. The additive comprises the following components in percentage by weight: 2 to 10 percent of potassium hydroxide, 4 to 12 percent of potassium carbonate and 78 to 94 percent of kieselguhr. The chemical tempering process for glass comprises the following steps of: (1) adding the additive into the KNO3 molten salt in a weight ratio of the additive to the KNO3 molten salt of (1:15)-(1:25), heating to the temperature of between 400 and 440 DEG C, and keeping constant temperature for 24 to 72 hours; (2) heating the glass to the temperature of between 300 and 380 DEG C, and keeping the temperature for 30 to 90 minutes; and (3) putting the glass into the molten salt, and processing for 4 to 24 hours to obtain chemical tempered glass. According to the chemical tempering process, the additive is added into the KNO3 molten salt, so impurities in the molten salt can be adsorbed, the molten salt is purified, the quality of the ion exchange is stabilized, the replacement frequency of the molten salt is reduced, the service life of the molten salt is prolonged, and the production cost is reduced.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a chemical tempering process of glass, in particular to a chemical additive composition and a chemical tempering process using the additive. Background technique [0002] With the rapid development of the IT and electronics industries, the demand for ultra-thin glass with a thickness of less than 1mm is rapidly increasing, and it is widely used in mobile phones, DVD panels, flat panel displays, etc., but ultra-thinness brings the mechanical strength of glass decrease. [0003] At present, there are many methods to improve the strength of glass in industrial production, one is the physical tempering method, but for ultra-thin glass, this method has the problem of glass deformation during the tempering process, and cannot be used in fields with high optical quality requirements. Internal application; the other is the liquid medium tempering method. Triplex in the UK used this method to produce glass with a thickness of 0.75-1.5m...
