FUXIN chemically etched anti-glare tempered glass belongs to the AG Anti Glare Screen Glass product line. Adopting professional chemical etching process, it forms a permanent micro-textured matte surface directly on the glass substrate, delivering long-lasting glare reduction without coating peeling risk. Gloss level is fully customizable from 10% to 45% to match different application scenarios.

With etching depth controlled at only 0.01–0.03mm, it maintains over 90% light transmittance and full compatibility with capacitive and resistive touch panels. Widely used in industrial HMIs, medical monitors, automotive displays, outdoor kiosks and high-precision equipment, combined with chemical/physical tempering for high impact safety. We also support matching AR anti-reflective, AF anti-fingerprint coating and silk screen printing.

Working Principle of Chemically Etched AG Glass

Different from coated AG glass which attaches a resin/polymer layer on the surface, chemically etched AG glass forms uniform micro concave-convex texture directly inside the glass surface via chemical corrosion.

• Permanent anti-glare effect: The texture is integrated with the glass substrate, will never wear off or peel, far more durable than coated AG

• Precise etching depth: Controlled at 0.01–0.03mm, does not interfere with electric field signals and touch detection accuracy

• Stable optical performance: Uniform haze across the whole panel, no local glare or color deviation under different viewing angles

Technical Specifications

Key Features

Permanent Anti-Glare Surface: Chemically etched micro-texture diffuses reflected light, eliminating glare from overhead lighting, direct sunlight, and ambient sources. The anti-glare effect is permanent—it will never wear off.

10-45% Customizable Gloss Levels: Choose the exact gloss level for your application. Lower gloss (10-20%) provides maximum glare reduction for outdoor and high-brightness environments. Higher gloss (30–45%) offers superior clarity for precision displays and medical monitors.

Full Touchscreen Compatibility: The etched surface is only 0.01–0.03mm deep—it does not interfere with electrical fields or capacitive touch detection. Works seamlessly with projected capacitive (PCAP) and resistive touchscreens.

Tempered for Strength & Safety: Thermally or chemically tempered to achieve 4–5 times the strength of standard glass. Breaks into small, granular pieces for enhanced safety.

High Light Transmittance: Maintains ≥90% light transmission, ensuring bright, clear display output. Unlike some AG treatments, chemical etching does not significantly reduce transmittance.

Fingerprint & Dust Resistant: The matte surface texture naturally resists fingerprint marks and dust accumulation, maintaining clarity even after repeated use and cleaning.

FAQs

Q: What is the difference between chemically etched AG glass and coated AG glass?

Chemically etched AG glass has the anti-glare texture etched directly into the glass surface, making it permanent, scratch-resistant, and non-peeling. Coated AG glass applies a resin or polymer layer that can wear off over time.

Q: What gloss level should I choose for my application?

Lower gloss (10–20%) is ideal for outdoor and high-brightness environments where maximum glare reduction is needed. Higher gloss (30–45%) provides better clarity for precision displays, medical monitors, and indoor applications where some glare reduction is still desired.

Q: Can I get a sample before placing a bulk order?

Yes. We offer custom-shaped samples with a 5–7 day turnaround. The tooling fee is refundable against mass production orders.

Q: What glass types can be etched?

We process soda-lime glass, aluminosilicate glass, low-iron glass, and borosilicate glass, including Corning, Asahi, and Dragontrail brands.

Q: Is this glass suitable for outdoor use?

Absolutely. The permanent etched surface combined with tempering and optional anti-fingerprint coating makes it ideal for outdoor kiosks, marine displays, EV charging stations, and digital signage.
