Chemical strengthening process, by making the glass containing sodium and containing potassium nitrate and be selected from by K2CO3、Na2CO3、KHCO3、 NaHCO3、K3PO4、Na3PO4、K2SO4、Na2SO4, at least one of the group that constitutes of KOH and NaOH salt or alkali inorganic salts connect Thus touching makes the K ion in Na ion and the inorganic salts in the glass carry out ion exchange;
Acid treatment process carries out sour processing to the glass after the chemical strengthening process;
Alkali process process carries out alkali process to the glass after the acid treatment process,
Wherein, it carries out under wet environment from the acid treatment process to the series of processes of the alkali process process.
