Easy-clean glass is a specially treated glass designed to reduce the buildup of dirt, grime, and water spots. Its coating helps water and dirt slide off naturally, making cleaning easier and less frequent. This type of glass is often used in windows, shower doors, and glass facades to maintain a clear, spotless appearance with less effort.

Enhanced Strength
LYD GLASS only uses A-grade float glass to produce tempered glass, which will reduce the self-explosion rate of tempered glass.
The "easy-clean" properties of easy-clean glass primarily come from its surface coating, and this coating, by itself, does not inherently make the glass stronger. The strength of glass depends on other factors, such as:
Glass type: The type of glass used (e.g., annealed, tempered, laminated) significantly impacts its strength. Tempered glass is much stronger than annealed glass. Laminated glass is strong as it's multiple layers held together.
Thickness: Thicker glass is naturally stronger than thinner glass.
Manufacturing process: The quality of the manufacturing process can influence the glass's strength by minimizing imperfections.
Therefore, easy-clean glass is NOT inherently stronger than normal glass just because of the coating. If you need strong easy-clean glass, you should look for easy-clean (coated) glass that is also made from tempered or laminated glass. The easy-clean coating will be applied to that stronger glass type.
In summary: Easy-clean and strength are separate properties. Easy-clean pertains to the surface and its resistance to dirt and water retention. Glass strength depends on the type and thickness of the base glass itself.
Tempered glass will be packed in strong wooden boxes or steel pallets and our tempered glass complies with American (CAN CGSB 12.1-2022, ANSI Z97.1-2015(R2020) and CPSC 16 CFR 1201-2024) and European standards (CE EN-12150-2:2004).

Superior Safety
Advantages
Easy-clean glass offers several appealing advantages, primarily centered around convenience and aesthetics:
Reduced Cleaning Effort: This is the primary benefit. The special coating, often a hydrophobic (water-repelling) or hydrophilic (water-attracting) surface, causes water and dirt to bead up and roll off more easily. This makes cleaning faster, easier, and less frequent.
Improved Aesthetics: The easier cleaning helps minimize streaks, spots, and watermarks, resulting in clearer, more pristine glass. This is especially noticeable on windows, shower doors, and other glass surfaces. The glass will maintain a cleaner appearance for longer.
Durability: The special coating can be scratch resistant, increasing the lifespan of the glass surface.
Cost Savings: While the initial cost of the easy-clean glass itself may be higher, the reduced cleaning time and the potential need for fewer cleaning products can result in long-term cost savings.
Versatile Applications: Easy-clean coatings can be applied to various types of glass, including windows, shower enclosures, mirrors, and more, for residential and commercial use.
Environmental Considerations: Due to its ease of cleaning, the use of easy-clean glass could reduce the use of harsh chemicals.
Increased Visibility: Clean glass allows more natural light into a space and unobstructed views.
In summary, the key advantages of easy-clean glass are primarily related to the convenience of cleaning, improved appearance, and potential long-term cost savings.
Easy-clean glass derives its special properties from a surface treatment or coating, which imparts specific features:
Hydrophobicity (Water-Repelling): This is the most common feature. The coating creates a surface tension that causes water to bead up into droplets rather than spreading out into a thin film. These droplets then easily roll off the glass, taking dirt and grime with them.
Hydrophilicity (Water-Attracting): Some easy-clean coatings are actually hydrophilic, meaning they attract water. Instead of beading, the water spreads out into a very thin, even sheet. This sheet then dries streak-free, leaving the glass looking clean. These hydrophilic coatings usually depend on sunlight (UV exposure) to activate the cleaning property.
Durability: The coating is designed to be durable and long-lasting, resisting wear and tear from everyday use and cleaning. However, the lifespan of the coating can vary depending on the quality, the specific application, and the cleaning products used. Harsh abrasives can damage the coating.
Smooth Surface: The coating creates a very smooth surface, which makes it more difficult for dirt, grime, and hard water stains to adhere. This contributes to the easy-clean effect.
Smooth Surface: The coating creates a very smooth surface, which makes it more difficult for dirt, grime, and hard water stains to adhere. This contributes to the easy-clean effect.
UV Resistance (For some types): If the coating relies on UV activation (as some hydrophilic coatings do), it will have good resistance to UV degradation to maintain its cleaning properties over time.
Transparency: The coating is typically very thin and transparent, with a minimal impact on the overall clarity and light transmission of the glass.
Resistance to Staining and Etching: The coating can make the glass less susceptible to staining from minerals in hard water or etching from acidic substances.
Low Maintenance: The most important feature is its lower maintenance requirements, reducing the frequency, effort, and intensity of cleaning needed compared to untreated glass, ultimately making the surface look clean for longer.
