What's it?
Silver mirror is made through a chemical sedimentation process. A sheet of specially treated Silver is coated on quality float glass, followed by a sheet of passivant (or copper), and finished with two layers of paint for chemical and physical protection.
Step 1 - Preparing the glass
The glass is washed and polished and then coated with stannous chloride. This "tinning" process ensures a good bond between the silver and the glass.
Step 2 - Silver application
A solution of silver salt is mixed with an aldehyde solution, and the mixture sprayed on the mirror. The silver and the aldehyde react as follows to produce a coating of metallic
Step 3 - Copper protection
This step is not always used, but it is useful in providing further protection for the silver backing. It simply involves the spraying a mixture of copper ions and zinc dust onto the silver, producing metallic copper as follows:
Step 4 - Protecting the backing
The mirror is then backed with paint to prevent damage to the surface
Characteristic:
