Glass Industry Hotspot Summary (4.1-4.7)

1.2.3

. Less than 3.685 billion! It is estimated that the sales amount of this project is about

80.4. The project of "Key Technologies and Engineering Applications of Large-size Cadmium Telluride Power Generation Glass" won the first prize of Sichuan Science and Technology Progress Award in 2022. The project was jointly completed by Chengdu China Building Material Photoelectric Materials Co., Ltd., a subsidiary of Triumph Technology Group, and China Building Material Glass New Materials Research Institute.

5.

In recent years, the continuous advancement of drug consistency evaluation, centralized procurement with quantity and related review and approval has enhanced the stickiness between pharmaceutical glass packaging and drugs, and promoted the industrial upgrading of pharmaceutical glass. Medium borosilicate glass is widely used in the international pharmaceutical market because of its good physical and chemical properties such as water resistance, acid resistance, alkali resistance, freezing resistance and thermal stability, while the use of medium borosilicate glass in China is less than 20%.

6.

The spot check focused on the main items such as fragment state, impact resistance, surface stress and impact performance of shotgun bag of toughened glass products for construction.

7.

This spot check focuses on the main items of aluminum alloy profile thickness, surface treatment, door and window and assembly size, assembly quality, structure, wind pressure resistance, water tightness, air tightness and mechanical properties of building exterior window products.

8. The experiment proved for the first time the technical feasibility of using large amounts of hydrogen to make flat glass, which will supplement other decarbonization energy sources and reduce direct carbon dioxide emissions at the site by up to 70%

. 9. It is reported that the deep processing enterprise will achieve revenue of 25 million euros in 2022. It will create about 70 jobs for the local people.

10. On March 3, Shaanxi Tuori Xinneng was required to rectify by Chengcheng Branch of Weinan Ecological Environment Bureau due to substandard smoke and dust emissions.

11. This double-silver LOW-E coated glass has double functional layers, and the total number of coating layers can reach 9 layers, which skillfully combines the high transmittance of glass with the low transmittance of solar thermal radiation, and has better energy-saving effect than previous single-silver LOW-E coated glass.

12. It is expected that the automotive glass market will grow

substantially from 2023 to 2032. According to the forecast of the Market. Us, the global automotive glass market will be worth 17 billion US dollars in 2022, and the market size is expected to exceed 43.8 billion US dollars by 2032. The compound annual growth rate from 2023 to 2032 will reach 10.
