About Technic

Request More Information

Glass etching is a common method of engraving, used in the manufacture of decorative glass to create permanent etched images in both large glass panels (float glass), as well as in smaller glass items, such as bottles. The frosting process (satin surface) is optional, but it provides benefits for the etch resist adhesion. It also offers a completely different finish in terms of the glass structure.

The process consists in applying a thermal or UV curable etch resist or mask to the surface of glass prior to chemical etching. In the next step, an etching machine enables and amplifies the corrosive reaction between the etching chemical and the glass. 

A chemical etching spray (typically hydrofluoric acid) dissolves unprotected glass areas to etch the desired image. The resist is then selectively removed, exposing the etched pattern on the glass.
