Glass bottle frosting is a process of treating the surface of glass by physical or chemical means. Through physical sandblasting, chemical acid etching or coating techniques, it gives the glass a hazy matte texture that is both aesthetic and functional. This process enhances the aesthetics of glass bottles and also meets the functional needs of anti-slip, anti-fingerprint, and so on.
By using high pressure air or centrifugal force as a power source, the abrasive is driven at high speeds and sprayed onto the glass surface. These high-speed jets of abrasive material hit the glass surface and uniformly form a rough abrasive surface on the glass surface.
The sandblasting process has the following characteristics:
(1) Highly controllable, able to flexibly adjust the roughness of the glass surface according to the actual demand. (Coarse sand matte, fine sand soft light)
(2) Wide applicability, suitable for large areas or complex modelling (e.g. embossed patterns).
The surface of the glass is etched with hydrofluoric acid or fluorine-containing compounds to create a microporous structure. This structure gives the glass new physical properties and aesthetic effects.
The acid etching process has the following characteristics:
(1) Fine and even surface effect, suitable for fine patterns (such as LOGO, gradient effect)
(2) Commonly used in customised high-grade glass bottles (e.g. perfume bottles, works of art)
UV coatings or water-based coatings containing frosted particles are sprayed on the glass surface and cured to form a matte layer.
(1) Simple process, colours can be blended (e.g. coloured frosted effect).
(2) Low cost, suitable for small batch or temporary demand.
Compared with the acid etching process and the coating process, the sandblasting process is more customisable and has a faster production efficiency. Therefore, sandblasting is the main production line in our factory. And we are equipped with several automated sandblasting production machines, which can produce customised frosted glass bottles faster and more accurately.
We mainly customise plating effect for perfume bottles, fragrance bottles, dropper bottles, essential oil bottles, nail polish bottles, lotion bottles, foundation bottles, aromatherapy bottles and so on. We are professional glass bottle frosting processing factory for skin care and cosmetic packaging.
Order quantity, different quality requirements and the size of the glass bottle will affect the price. Please send us the quantity, effect, style and capacity you need to customise and we will provide you with an accurate quotation.
The MOQ for frosted glass bottles is 10,000 pcs.
