Luxver Sensitizer

Solution for activating glass surface before silvering

Luxver Sensitizer activates the glass surface before the silvering process

Luxver Sensitizer Solution is an aqueous acidic solution of a stannous salt. It is applied on glass to activate the glass surface prior to metal plating like electroless silver plating in mirror production process. The stannous ions reacts with the silica network, so creating bridges between the glass surface and the metal layer and therefore improves the adhesion of a silver layer on glass.

Outstanding features

Enhances the adhesion of the metal layer (e.g., silver) to the glass surface.
Creates bridges between the glass surface and the metal layer through the reaction of stannous ions with the silica network.
Leads to higher quality and durability of mirrors by ensuring a strong bond between the glass and silver layer.
Being an aqueous solution makes it easier and safer to handle compared to some other chemical treatments.
Specifically effective for processes like electroless silver plating, which is commonly used in mirror production.
Can reduce the need for additional adhesion-promoting steps or materials, potentially lowering overall production costs.
Streamlines the mirror production process by providing a reliable method for surface preparation.

Shelf life & Storage

Best use before 18 months in tightly-sealed original packaging between 5°C and 30°C.
Avoid exposure to direct sunlight.
