Development status of daily glass industry


In 2018, the total output of daily glass industry exceeded 28.607 million tons. The main business income exceeded 164.72 billion yuan, with a rapid year-on-year growth. The industrial development has continued the positive growth history of output and output value for 20 consecutive years from 1998 to 2018.

There are nine characteristic regions and industrial clusters of China's daily use glass: Pujiang County, Zhejiang Province, the capital of China's crystal glass, Qixian County, Shanxi Province, the capital of China's glassware, Boshan District, Zibo City, Shandong Province, the hometown of China's glass, Fengyang County, Anhui Province, the base of China's daily use glass industry, Badu Town, Boshan City, Zibo City, the famous town of China's daily use glass industry, Qingping Town, Hechuan District, Chongqing city ——China daily use glass industry base, Dezhou Jinghua - China hollow brick production and research base, Shajiabang Town, Changshu City, Jiangsu Province - China glass mold capital, Hejian City, Hebei Province - China heat resistant glass production base.

Shandong lino special glass Co., Ltd. has won the honorary title of "China's leading enterprise of heat-resistant glass"; Guangdong Huaxing Glass Co., Ltd. is known as "China's leading enterprise of daily glass industry", and is China's largest manufacturer of glass bottles and cans with an annual output of more than 2 million tons and an output value of more than 4 billion yuan. The above glass industry bases and related enterprises are the main locations of China's quartz sand demand in the future.


China has a huge market for quartz sand for daily use glass


It is understood that each ton of ordinary glass (sodium glass) needs to consume about 1.1 tons of various raw materials. It includes 800 kg of quartz sand (silica), 130 kg of soda ash (sodium carbonate) and 130 kg of limestone (calcium carbonate).

For each ton of potassium glass produced, about 1.2 tons of various raw materials need to be consumed. It includes about 700 kg of quartz sand (silica), about 270 kg of potassium carbonate and about 200 kg of limestone (calcium carbonate). According to this calculation, the annual consumption of quartz sand corresponding to the total output of China's daily glass industry is more than 20 million tons, and the annual consumption of calcium carbonate is more than 3.4 million tons.

Prospect of China's daily glass Market


 There is a large space for domestic and foreign sales of daily glass


According to the statistics of China Daily Glass Association, at present, the per capita annual consumption of daily glass in China is about 10 kg / 100 yuan, which is quite different from that of 40 kg / 1000 yuan in developed countries. At present, the price of a wine cup produced in China is more than ten to dozens of yuan, while similar wine cups produced in Europe and America are sold to hundreds or even thousands of yuan. Foreigners have gradually replaced China with glassware, which is safe, beautiful, sanitary and elegant. In China, Baishi mountain scenic spot in Laiyuan County, Hebei Province has built the longest and widest suspended glass plank road with the highest altitude and the most eye-catching, with a total length of 95 meters, a width of 2 meters and an altitude of 1900 meters. Later, a 60 meter glass plank road was built in Tianmen Mountain, Zhangjiajie, and a 31 meter high plank road was built in Fenghuang mountain, Dandong. Once the daily glass enters the family, the sales space will be very broad.

It is a symbol of the progress of human civilization


China has gone through the Neolithic age, the age of pottery, the age of porcelain and the age of plastics. Now it has entered the age of glass. In modern society, including high-rise buildings, airplanes and ships, satellite rockets, there is no ceramic but glass. Glass is transparent, mysterious and sacred. In ancient China, glaze was regarded as the first of the five famous vessels of gold, silver, jade, ceramics and bronze. According to historical records, during the Warring States period, the sword used by Gou Jian, the king of Yue, was inlaid with several glass. The roof skylights of ancient European churches are made of stained glass. Glass has vitality, re creation and artistic charm. Yang Huishan, the owner of the glass workshop in Taiwan, sent the glass thousand hands Guanyin to Shanghai World Expo; one enterprise received an order to produce 10000 glass Buddhas. Why is the value of daily glass consumption so high in Europe? First, cultural differences, second, the level of understanding of glass, third, the level of civilization and progress in Europe.

The future world is the world of glass


There is no modern life without glass. Quartz sand is the main raw material for glass production. Glass has practical value, ornamental value and collection value. This is determined by its four attributes. First, safety is recognized as the safest food and drug packaging materials in the world. Second, it is recyclable and recyclable. Third, green attribute, which is the product with the least carbon emission. Fourth, practicality is closely related to public life.


Therefore, quartz sand demand driven by glass industry will have explosive growth space. In addition, with the development of science and technology, quartz glass is not only used in the glass industry, but also used in the manufacture of semiconductors, electro-optical sources, semiconducting communication devices, lasers, optical instruments, laboratory instruments, electrical equipment, medical equipment, high temperature and corrosion-resistant chemical instruments, chemical industry, electronics, metallurgy, building materials, national defense and other industries, especially quartz glass is widely used It has been used in various processes of semiconductor production, such as transforming polycrystalline into monocrystalline silicon by direct pull method, cleaning tank for cleaning, diffusion tube for diffusion, bell cover for ion implantation, etc., which witness the new breakthrough in the application of quartz glass. With the increasing demand of quartz sand, quartz sand has become a strategic product of national economy. To sum up, we say that Kangzhuang Avenue has been paved and quartz sand industry is developing at the right time!

Real thing!Quality requirements for quartz sand for ultra-white glass

Ultra-clear glass can achieve a transmittance of more than 91.5%, and its optical properties are widely used in solar power generation, solar thermal power generation, information display, architectural decoration, and smart agriculture. The iron content in the ultra-clear glass is 0.015% or less, and the high-quality ultra-clear glass for the photothermal glass for clean energy, the electronic glass for information display, and the like requires higher transmittance, and therefore requires silica sand has a lower iron content, which puts higher demands on the raw materials of glass. Among the ultra-white glass batch materials, quartz sand generally accounts for more than 60% of the weight ratio, which is the main factor affecting the iron content in the glass, and the melting temperature of the quartz sand is high, which determines the melting speed of the glass, so quartz sand in glass batch materials is the main research object. What are the requirements for the chemical co

Great use of quartz sand powder!

quartz sand powder for coating and painting High purity quartz sand powder has special optical properties that conventional SiO2 does not have. It has strong ultraviolet absorption and infrared reflection characteristics. The addition of silica powder to the coating can form a shielding effect on the coating, achieve the purpose of anti ultraviolet aging and thermal aging, and increase the thermal insulation of the coating. The hardness and adhesion of the UV curable coating are improved and the absorption of UV radiation is weakened by doping high-purity silicon powder into the UV curable coating. Thus, the curing speed of UV curable coating is reduced. High purity silica powder has a large specific surface area, shows great activity, and can form a network structure when the coating is dry. At the same time, the strength and finish of the coating are increased, the suspension of the pigment is improved, and the color of the coating can be kept unchanged for a long time. The amo
