1. Acid etched process

The frosted process is more difficult. Frosted refers to immersing the glass in a prepared acidic liquid (or applying an acidic paste) to erode the glass surface with strong acid, and at the same time, ammonia hydrogen fluoride in the strong acid solution makes the glass surface form crystals.

The acid-etched process is a technical work, It is a test of the craftsmanship of the acid-etched master. If done well, the surface of the frosted glass will be exceptionally smooth and hazy by the formation of crystalline scattering effect. But if done poorly, the surface will appear rough, which indicates that the acid erosion of the glass is more serious; also belongs to the master process control is not good.

2、Sandblasting process

Sandblasting process is very common, the difficulty is general. It is shot with a gun at high-speed sand grains that hit the glass surface, so that the glass forms a fine concave and convex surface, so as to achieve the effect of scattering light, making the light through the formation of a hazy sense. Sandblasting process of glass products with a rougher feel on the surface, as the glass surface is destroyed so it looks as if the original bright material in the glass photographic sense is white.

In the comparison process, we can easily find that these two processes, in fact, the consumer groups are also different, the higher the needs of consumers,the probability will choose acid-etched glass, and vice versa, sandblasting is more appropriate. Because the acid etched process to really do a good job is not easy, the sandblasting process can generally be completed by the factory.
