Glass products are widely used in many fields because of their transparency, chemical stability, plasticity and functionality. The following is an explanation from the main use classification and specific scenarios:
First, the architectural field: the integration of structure and function
Building curtain wall, doors and windows
Energy-saving glass: Low-E glass and insulating glass reduce energy consumption by reflecting infrared rays, which are suitable for curtain walls of high-rise buildings;
Safety glass: tempered glass and laminated glass are used for doors, windows and partitions, which have strong impact resistance and do not splash after fragmentation;
Smart glass: Electrochromic glass with adjustable light transmittance is used in high-end office buildings and smart homes.
Decorative and artistic glass
Colored glass and embossed glass are used for indoor partitions and background walls to enhance space aesthetics;
Carved glass and artistic glass screens are often used in hotels, clubs and other high-end places.
Second, consumer goods for daily use: the embodiment of quality of life
Containers and packaging
Food packaging: glass bottles (such as beverage bottles and wine bottles) are safe and non-toxic and can be reused;
Cosmetic packaging: glass bottles are of high quality, suitable for high-end products such as perfume and essence.
Tableware and kitchenware
Glass bowls and glasses (such as heat-resistant glass) are used for microwave heating;
Glass baking tray and glass kettle meet the needs of healthy cooking.

3. Electronics and Optoelectronic Fields: Carriers of Technological Innovation
display panel
Ultra-thin electronic glass (thickness < 0.1mm) is used for smart phones, tablet computers and TV screens;
Cover glass (such as Corning Gorilla Glass) provides high strength protection.
Optics and lighting
Lens glass and fiber glass are used in cameras and medical devices;
LED glass and glass lampshade realize the integration of efficient lighting and decoration.
Fourth, the field of transportation and automobiles: the balance between safety and lightweight
Automobile glass
The front windshield is made of laminated glass, which is impact-resistant and does not fall off after being broken;
Tempered glass is used for side windows and skylights to improve safety.
rail traffic
High-speed rail and subway windows are made of hollow safety glass, which is sound-proof and explosion-proof.
V medical and laboratory fields: guarantee of safety and accuracy
Medical instruments
Glass syringes and ampoules are used for drug storage and injection;
Laboratory glassware (such as beakers and measuring cylinders) is resistant to chemical corrosion and suitable for scientific research experiments.
optical instrument
The lens glass of microscope and telescope needs high transmittance and low dispersion;
Laser glass is used in medical equipment (such as laser scalpel).
Vi. energy and environmental protection: the support of sustainable development
Photovoltaic glass
Ultra-white embossed glass is used for solar panel packaging, and the transmittance is more than 91%;
Double-glass module improves power generation efficiency and is suitable for large photovoltaic power stations.
Environmental protection material
Glass-ceramics are used for solidification of nuclear waste and have strong radiation resistance;
Glass fiber reinforced composite (GFRP) replaces traditional steel, which is lightweight and corrosion-resistant.
7. Art and culture: the combination of creativity and tradition
artware
Coloured glass and blown glass are used for decorative ornaments and artistic sculptures;
The stained glass windows of the church bear religious and cultural connotations.
Collection and investment
Limited edition art glass and antique glassware are valuable for collection.
Eight, other special purposes
Security and bulletproof
Bullet-proof glass (multilayer composite structure) is used in safe places such as banks and embassies.
Agriculture and horticulture
Greenhouse glass has high light transmittance and strong weather resistance, which improves crop yield.
Summary: the future trend of glass products
Functionalization: intelligent dimming, self-cleaning and antibacterial glass meet individual needs;
Greening: recyclable glass and photovoltaic glass promote low-carbon economy;
High-end: domestic substitution of ultra-thin electronic glass and medical glass is accelerated.
With its versatility and plasticity, glass products will continue to penetrate into emerging fields and become the key materials for technological innovation and industrial upgrading.
