Environmental Performance of Tungsten Wire in Electric Heated Glass
- Category: Tungsten Information
- Published on 01 July 2025
Tungsten wire is widely used in the manufacture of electric heated glass due to its high melting point, low evaporation rate and excellent thermal properties. It is used as a heating element to achieve defog, defrost or insulation functions. Electric heated glass usually generates heat after power is turned on by embedding tungsten wire in laminated glass or coating conductive film on the surface of glass to achieve functions such as light transmission and insulation.
