▪
Processing on the painted side of mirrors must be smooth and free of glass cullets to prevent the
risk of corrosion.
▪
Use non-
abrasive coolant additives (neutral pH) to prevent damage being caused to the mirror’s
protective coatings.
▪
Clean the cooling water circuit regularly to remove glass particles and plastic particles originating
from the safety backing film.
▪
Wash processed products immediately, preferably with deionised water, and dry carefully,
especially around the edges.
▪
Use spacers when stacking processed products.
7. LAMINATING
Mirox MNGE are silvered glass products for use in interior applications only. They cannot be laminated
or used in double glazing units, even on the inner side of the glazing unit. The plasticizers in the PVB
would have a negative influence on the paint coating.
However, Mirox MNGE safety back is the perfect solution for your safety needs. Safety backed
mirrors according to standard AS/NZS 2208
grade A have a similar breakage pattern to laminated
glass (pieces of glass remain attached to plastic film without separating).
8. SANDBLASTING
Mirox MNGE may be partially sandblasted.
9. PACKING THE PROCESSED PRODUCT
▪
Place the sheets vertically on or in the packing material, taking care to avoid scratches caused by
stacking (see storage)
▪
Use soft spacers, e.g. wood powder, or medium particle size polyolefin based interleaving powder,
but avoid organic products such as Lucite beads, as these can scratch paintwork.
▪
Wrap the processed product, keep the product dry, and avoid from chemical contamination.
▪
When shrink-wrapping, perforated plastic may be used if the glass is to be stored in a dry area for
a normal length of time.
10. CLEANING
The following instructions are valid for initial cleaning after installation, routine cleaning and
special maintenance:
