System and method for texturing glass

摘要

A method for texturing a glass substrate includes cleaning the glass substrate with at least one surfactant and etching the glass substrate using a caustic solution. The percentage of caustic solution is provided by controlling a fluid flow and temperature to control the depth of the etching. The method also includes acid cleaning the etched glass substrate to remove glass residuals and surfactants.

主权项

1. A substrate, comprising:
at least one surface of soda-lime or soda-lime-silica glass having a thickness less than 0.7 millimeters, the at least one surface of glass being cleaned with at least one surfactant, etched with a caustic solution, and then cleaned with an acid, wherein the cleaned with the at least one surfactant, etched, and cleaned with an acid glass has a lower specular and diffuse reflectance and a higher haze reflectance than prior to etching and cleaning while maintaining light transmission.
