Precious Metal Products Glass Melting Instruments

Liquid crystal glass and optical glass manufacturing processes require extremely high levels of transparency, homogeneity, and impurity control. Within the critical melting process, platinum products are employed as indispensable materials. Platinum remains chemically highly stable even under high-temperature conditions, resulting in minimal metal contamination and reaction during glass melting. This suppresses impurity contamination in the glass and prevents display irregularities and degradation of optical properties. In addition, its outstanding corrosion resistance enables long-term use with glass melts containing alkaline components and various additives. Furuya Metal manufactures a comprehensive range of instruments used throughout the melting process, from large-scale melting vessels to stirring blades.
