Copper and lead-free mirrors are eco-friendly alternatives that provide safety and durability. These mirrors are ideal for environments where health and safety are Paramount, such as hospitals and schools. Invictus Glass manufactures copper and lead-free mirrors that meet stringent safety standards, ensuring a reliable and environmentally friendly solution for reflective surfaces.
Environmentally friendly, without copper film and lead residues, the copper-free mirror fulfils the environmental requirements.
Product Description: Copper and Lead Free Mirror, Eco-Mirror
**Core Product Definition and Advantages**
Traditional mirror manufacturing processes employ a layer of **copper** as a protective coating between the glass and silver layer, while the backing paint may contain **lead** to enhance durability and corrosion resistance. Copper-free and lead-free mirrors utilize advanced coating technology and eco-friendly paints, completely eliminating both metals.
**Core Advantages:**
1. Ultimate Eco-Friendliness: 100% free of harmful metals like copper and lead, compliant with the world's strictest environmental regulations (e.g., EU RoHS, REACH, California Proposition 65), suitable for environments with stringent environmental and health requirements.
2. Superior Corrosion Resistance: Traditional copper coatings oxidize easily in humid environments, causing “black edges” or “mirror light transmission” corrosion. The copper-free process fundamentally eliminates copper corrosion, significantly extending mirror lifespan in high-humidity settings like bathrooms, pools, and coastal areas.
3. Higher Reflection Fidelity: The purer coating structure delivers clearer, more lifelike reflections with superior color accuracy and zero color bias.
4. Exceptional Adhesion: Utilizing specialized eco-friendly primer and backcoat ensures strong bonding with the silver layer and glass substrate, guaranteeing high safety standards.
**Detailed Explanation of Industry Standard Sizes, Thicknesses, and Colors**
The following parameters represent industry-standard specifications, with customization available.
**1. Common Standard Dimensions (Width x Height, Unit: Millimeters/mm)**
| Dimension Specification (mm) | Primary Application Scenarios |
| **600 x 900** | Small bathroom mirrors, makeup mirrors |
| **600 x 1200** | Standard bathroom mirrors, entryway mirrors |
| **900 x 1200** | Mainstream bathroom mirrors, wardrobe door mirrors |
| **1200 x 1200** | Square decorative mirrors, public area mirrors |
| **1200 x 1800** | Large bathroom wall mirrors, gym mirrors |
| **1830 x 2440** | (**Commonly known as 8'x6' / 2440x1830mm**) Maximum standard substrate size, used for cutting large or custom dimensions |
**Standard Thickness (Unit: Millimeters/mm)** | Thickness | Characteristics & Recommended Uses |
| **3mm** | Lightweight and thin, primarily used for decorative small mirrors, picture frame mirrors, and furniture inlays. Requires backing board protection. |
| **4mm** | Most versatile economical thickness, suitable for small to medium bathroom mirrors and wall mirrors. |
| **5mm** | Mainstream premium choice offering excellent flatness, safety, and tactile feel. Suitable for most bathroom mirrors, hotel mirrors, and decorative mirrors. |
| **6mm** | High flatness with substantial weight, used for frameless large mirrors (e.g., full-wall mirrors), premium commercial spaces, and gyms. |
| **8mm / 10mm** | Ultra-high standard offering exceptional texture and safety, used in luxury venues, large-scale art installations, and areas with stringent requirements for mirror distortion. |
*Note: Thickness tolerance is typically ±0.2mm. For mirrors exceeding 1 square meter, 5mm or greater thickness is recommended to ensure surface flatness and prevent distortion.*
**Standard Colors & Reflectivity**
| Color Type | Description | Average Reflectivity | Visual Characteristics |
| **Clear / High-Definition Silver Mirror** | Standard silver-white reflective coating | ≥ 94% | Clear, bright reflections with no color distortion; most common type. |
| **Gray Mirror / Tea Mirror** | Glass substrate pre-colored (gray or tea-brown) before silver coating | Approx. 75%–85% | Soft reflection reduces glare, creating a stylish, private, or vintage ambiance. Common in commercial spaces, bars, and exterior curtain walls. |
| **Ultra-Clear Mirror** | Uses ultra-low iron ultra-clear glass as substrate | ≥ 96% | Extremely transparent reflection with virtually no “green tint” typical of ordinary glass. Offers highest color fidelity, considered the pinnacle of mirror quality. |
| **Black Mirror** | Made with dark-tinted glass (e.g., deep gray, dark brown) or special coatings | Approx. 50%–70% | Produces deep, elegant reflections. Primarily used as a decorative element to create a strong modern or mysterious feel. |
