How to use Cerium Oxide to polish glass?

The Cerium Oxide formula is CeO2, a light yellow-white cubic powder.

Cerium Oxide glass polish is a common surface treatment technique. It can make the glass surface more smooth, transparent, and wear-resistant. The principle of this technology is to use the abrasive action of cerium oxide particles to smooth the tiny protrusions on the glass surface and finally achieve the effect of polishing.

Cerium Oxide is a white powder with high hardness and abrasive properties. Adding Cerium Oxide particles to the polishing liquid shall rub against the glass surface to produce an abrasive effect. Due to the high hardness of cerium oxide particles, it can effectively smooth out the tiny bumps on the glass surface, making it smoother.
The hardness and wear resistance of Cerium Oxide makes it an ideal abrasive. Therefore, Cerium Oxide powder makes highly efficient sandpaper and grinding wheels. As well as tools for cutting and polishing materials such as metals, ceramics, and glass.

In addition to its abrasive effect, Cerium Oxide also has a chemical reaction effect. During polishing, the Cerium Oxide particles chemically react with the glass surface. A compound of cerium oxide and the glass surface is thus forming. This compound has high stability and wear resistance. It can protect the glass surface from the erosion of the external environment.

With the continuous development of science and technology, Cerium Oxide polishing technology will be more active in a broader range of fields. Cerium Oxide is also used to prepare Cerium Oxide ceramics, which have excellent properties such as high-temperature stability and corrosion resistance.
