Glass Etching / Frosting Chemicals

The glass frosting acid etching – or glass acid etching – is a chemical decorative process for hollow and flat glass. Glass surface is chemically attacked, that produces a superficial roughness, creating the typical etched / frosted appearance (called also “matt effect”).

SATINAL is a chemical frosting/acid etching powder used for obtaining a uniform velvety matt effect on hollow and flat glass. SATINAL is specific for the chemical frosting/acid etching of glass bottles for the beverage industry, glass containers (flacons, jars, pots) for the cosmetic industry, glass lamps for the lighting industry and glassware/tableware in general.

RANGE OF PRODUCTS

SATINAL Chemicals is family of chemical products of our own formulation and manufacture, composed of a balanced mixture of selected raw materials and blended inorganic salts that, when dissolved in hydrofluoric or hydrochloric acid, forms a solution able to produce fine quality surface frosted/etched on bottles, containers for cosmetics, lighting systems, glassware and float glass. The result is a white and uniform etching/frosting finishing on glass surface, soft and pleasing to the touch (named also “silk-hand”).
