Scattering

Perfect light guidance through structured glass.

Incoming light is scattered in a defined manner by the structured surfaces of finely etched glass. Undesirable surface reflections disappear. When viewing through the glass, the surface structuring leads to a clearer image.

These demands are ideally satisfied by our BG-Nonflex glass, for example in antiglare controls or instrument covers, by our BG-NFT glass in displays and touch screens or by our TEGLA® glass picture framing glass products.

Whereas untreated glass simply reflects a part of the incident light, structured glass surfaces scatter the reflected light. This eliminates disruptive glare and reflection effects almost completely. In the transmitted light the scattered light encompasses a considerably larger light cone – working without shadows, for example in operating theatres, is only possible in this way.
