Automotive glass brands include Fuyao, Nanbo, Pilkington, Saint-Gobain, Asahi Glass, etc. Below is a detailed introduction to automotive glass: Types of automotive glass: Automotive glass can be divided into five types based on glass type: tempered glass, laminated glass, bulletproof glass, safety glass, and zone-tempered glass. According to their positions, they are categorized into: front windshield, side window glass, rear windshield, and sunroof glass. Performance requirements for automotive glass: Automotive glass is one of the essential passive safety features in vehicle body attachments, primarily serving a protective function. Therefore, its performance requirements include impact resistance, UV protection capability, heat absorption rate, reflectivity, etc.
As a car enthusiast, I know there are quite a few automotive glass brands out there. Common global brands like Fuyao Glass, which is China's largest automotive glass manufacturer, offer great value for money; Saint-Gobain from France is often used in luxury cars like Mercedes-Benz and BMW, with strong explosion-proof glass technology; AGC Asahi Glass from Japan excels in heat insulation and light transmittance; Pilkington, a British brand with a long history, does well in repair-type and anti-fog glass; and there's Guardian Glass from the US, known for its stable quality. Others like Xinyi Glass, made in China, are also popular. When choosing glass, I consider functionality: opting for good heat insulation and UV protection in summer, and heated defogging glass in winter. Remember, don't just look at the brand—installation quality and original factory certification are key. For maintenance, regular cleaning prevents stain buildup, and immediate inspection and replacement are necessary after a collision. Overall, different car models require different types of glass, so consulting your 4S shop for advice is the most reliable approach.
