Did you know that vacuum is used in mirrors, an essential part of everyday life?
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are two types of mirror production methods: the vacuum plating method and the silver drawing method. In the vacuum plating method, as the name suggests, mirrors are made using a vacuum.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The relationship between mirrors and vacuum is explained in simple terms.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The most common method how to make mirror is the silver drawing method.
<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Traditional mirrors are made using this silver pulling process.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

First, a tin metal film is applied to the surface of the glass to prepare it for the silver film to adhere easily.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is then sprayed with silver.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In fact, a chemical reaction between a silver nitrate solution, sodium hydroxide (caustic soda solution) and glucose is applied to create a silver film on the glass.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is then washed with pure water and sprayed with copper to prevent deterioration of the silver film.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The back of the glass is also completed with a protective coating.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Vacuum plating method for beautiful mirrors.
<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The vacuum plating process is made by depositing aluminum vapor (gas) on glass under vacuum.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once an aluminum film has been created, a resin coating is applied for its protection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Vacuum plating methods have finer aluminum particles which makes it possible to get higher adhesion to glass.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a result, they are durable and are used outdoors, for example, in car rear-view mirrors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mirrors used in observatory telescopes are also made by evaporating aluminum by vacuum evaporation and plating the glass<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We offer a variety of vacuum equipment such as sputtering equipment.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
