Interleaving Solutions for Next Gen Tempered Glass

As glass manufacturing advances, protecting the surface of high-value tempered, coated, curved and automotive glass is becoming increasingly complex. Traditional separation methods may not provide the consistent protection needed during handling, storage and transportation.
Engineered glass interleaving paper provides a continuous barrier between glass surfaces, but not all papers perform the same. Fiber source, surface finish, chemical purity, pH, moisture response and process chemical carryover can all influence glass quality and downstream performance.
The right interleaving solution can help reduce the risk of common glass quality issues, including:
- Tiger-striping, staining and surface haze
- Etching and iridescence caused by chemical surface degradation
- Scratching and mechanical abrasion
- Surface contamination that can interfere with coating, bonding and laminating
- Quality issues related to moisture, pH and paper chemistry
- Costly rework, rejected glass and scrap
This white paper takes a closer look at the physical and chemical properties behind high-performance glass interleaving paper, including virgin cellulose fibers, paper formation, Machine Glazed (MG) finishes and controlled chemistry. It also examines how accelerated comparative testing can help evaluate interleaving solutions for demanding glass applications.
