AG Glass (Anti-Glare Glass)
Non-Glare Matte Surface for Optimal Readability in Bright Environments — chemically etched to scatter reflections
What is AG Glass?
AG (Anti-Glare) Glass is a specialty glass produced through a precise chemical etching process that creates a micro-scale matte texture on the glass surface. This texture converts specular (mirror-like) reflection into diffuse reflection, fundamentally eliminating glare at its source rather than merely reducing it.
Unlike AR glass which relies on nano-scale optical coatings to reduce reflection through interference, AG physically alters the glass surface morphology — the effect is permanent and will never peel, flake, or degrade over time.
Our AG glass achieves ≥90% light transmittance, and the AG+AR composite option reaches ≥93% for applications demanding both anti-glare and anti-reflection performance. Gloss levels are fully customizable from 60 to 140 GU to match specific viewing conditions.
At Jin Zhi Jing (JZJ Glass), we bring over 15 years of chemical etching expertise to every AG glass project. We support AG+AR+AF triple-composite solutions, optional chemical strengthening, precision CNC shaping, and silk printing — all in-house.
Why Choose JZJ AG Glass?
Precision-engineered anti-glare performance meets industrial-grade durability. Eight reasons our AG glass is trusted by display, medical, automotive, and industrial OEMs worldwide.
Matte Anti-Glare Surface
Chemically etched micro-texture creates a permanent matte finish eliminating specular reflection.
Zero Reflection Under Light
Diffuse reflection technology eliminates mirror-like glare in direct sunlight and bright light.
High Transmission ≥90%
Maintains ≥90% visible light transmittance (≥93% with AG+AR combo) preserving display brightness.
Fingerprint Resistant
Micro-etched texture reduces fingerprint and smudge visibility for easier cleaning.
Scratch Resistant ≥7H
Surface hardness ≥7H pencil after chemical strengthening for daily abrasion protection.
Custom Gloss 60-140GU
Gloss units precisely tuned per application from 60GU (outdoor) to 140GU (indoor HD).
AG+AR+AF Combo
Triple combination: anti-glare + anti-reflection ≤0.5% + anti-fingerprint for premium displays.
Precision CNC ±0.05mm
Custom shapes, cutouts, holes, notches and edge profiling per customer drawings.
