In winter, taking a shower is a great enjoyment. But after Meimeida took a shower, she found that the mirror in the shower was white and could not be seen.
Why? How much water vapor will appear on the mirror surface? In fact, this is the same as the dewdrops you see in the fields in winter! It is the condensation of water vapor on the warm surface. Generally, the water vapor in the shower room is relatively small. Although the surface temperature of the mirror is relatively low, it will not generate water vapor. In the whole process of bathing, a lot of water vapor is discharged into the air of the shower. When it is saturated, the water vapor in the air is not easy to flow in large quantities. Unnecessary water vapor is condensed on the items in the bathroom, including the mirror. Everyone in middle school has learned that water and laminated glass are wet, in other words, water will adhere to the surface of laminated glass. These small droplets, like lenses, will make the mirror more and more unclear and endanger the vision. Naturally, it is not the fault of water! If we can't change the steam atmosphere in the shower room, then we have to find a way to change the mirror.
Method 1: Wipe soap or detergent on the mirror surface: apply soap liquid or detergent to evenly wipe the mirror surface once, Then wipe it clean, because the soap solution or detergent has a surfactant, which can reasonably prevent water vapor from condensing into water drops on the mirror surface, and has an anti fog purpose.
Advantages:
1. Actual effect;
2. The actual operation is simple.
Defects:
1. Make sure that the mirror glass is evenly wiped and wiped;
2. The soap or detergent surfactant is very easy to absorb dust, making the mirror glass more likely to be dirty;
3. The application cycle is short, and the actual operation should be repeated after many months.
Method 2: replace the mirror with anti fog effect
In a treasure platform, you can buy mirrors with anti fog function. The basic principle of this type of anti fog mirror is: stick a layer of composite heating wire plastic film behind the mirror. When heating is necessary, turn on the heating power switch, and the electric heating tube stuck behind the mirror starts to work. The temperature of laminated glass rises, the water vapor condensed on the mirror surface volatilizes, and the mirror becomes brighter and brighter!
Advantages:
1. The actual effect of electric heater demisting is good;
2. The service life is long, which can reach 5-8 years.
Defects:
1. The power plug must be laid out in advance or again;
2. Safe use of electricity in wet and cold natural environment of shower room.
Method 3: Paste anti fog film on the mirror surface
Another way to change the performance of the mirror surface is to stick an anti fog film. This kind of film is essentially an explosion-proof film, which is essentially the same as the film you stick on the windshield when you buy a car. However, the antifogging film is made of transparent PET to ensure the permeability of the film. Subsequently, the surface of the film was coated with a scratch resistant layer and an anti fog layer. Generally, there are two ways to achieve the actual effect of moisture-proof and antifogging: one is hydrophobic, and the surface is coated with a hydrophobic layer. When the water drops on the surface, it is not easy to adhere to the laminated glass, but it will slide down quickly, and the actual effect is like a lotus leaf. The other is to apply the water repellent layer. When water vapor condenses on the surface, it does not produce small water droplets, but will pave the surface and produce a layer of symmetrical shrinkage water, which is not easy to harm the vision of the mirror. Because the particles condensed by the fog water are not large, the water absorption of the anti fog film used for the mirror is much better than the hydrophobic effect.
In addition, in order to better ensure the flatness of the laminated glass of the mirror, ordinary flat glass is used instead of tempered laminated glass. The anti fog film PET plate has a certain compressive strength, which can avoid the projection of beveled laminated glass and the scattering of broken glass when the mirror is accidentally broken, ensuring your application safety.
Advantages:
1. The actual effect of glass film demisting is very good;
2. Convenient installation without wiring;
3. The switching power supply is not used and can be trusted.
4. Excellent stain resistance. The water absorption of the anti fog film can automatically clean the mirror stains.
5. Explosion proof performance to prevent accidental rupture and splashing of laminated glass.
However, the function and service life of the mirror antifogging film are closely related to the secret recipe and production process flow of the antifogging coating, so you should choose the brand when purchasing
