Application

Applied by surface spraying onto deep-cleaned surfaces. Can be applied on site, at manufacturing premises or in a dedicated application centre. Suitable for application on new surfaces during manufacture or installation, or to restore existing surfaces to their original quality. Applications include:

  • Residential, conservatory and commercial facade glazing.
  • Reflective and pirolitic glass.
  • Marine glass.
  • Airport facilities and traffic tower glass.
  • Motorway and railway sound-barrier glass.
  • Shower enclosure glass, glazed tiles and porcelain.
  • Automotive glass.
  • Solar panels.
  • Sandblasted glass.
  • Laboratory ware.
  • Art glass and mirrors.
  • Interior and furniture glass.

Description

Strong and durable glass improvement system.


Once applied, the coating forms a protective layer less than 100-nm thick, which bonds with the substrate to leave a smooth, anti-stain, non-discolouring surface layer.


Features and benefits:

  • The surface quality is preserved or restored to its original state, becoming highly water repellent.
  • Air and waterborne contamination is unable to adhere to the glass once coated.
  • Cleaning becomes much easier and less frequent - required 50–70% less often.
  • The coating is UV stable, chemically inert and extremely durable, having both hydrophobic and oleophobic capabilities.
  • The coating will not peel or flake, and is unaffected by extreme temperatures from -20°C to +350°C.


Offers protection against:

  • Discoloration of glass from contaminated air and road traffic pollution.
  • Chemical attack including oxide corrosion by acid rainwater, damage by alkaline run-off from construction materials such as cement, concrete and plaster, and from fat, grease and oil products.
  • Corrosion by salt and other climatic coastal and marine conditions.
  • Etching by electrostatic particles from train tram and metro networks, and by rust particles.

Material

Ethanol

Silicon dioxide

Manufacturer guidance

Ethanol-based Glassguard™ is made up of silicon dioxide molecules whose surface energy is modified by anti-bonding molecules. On application to the glass, silicon dioxide molecules from the coating and the glass surface start to bond together, releasing the anti-bonding molecules. These molecules migrate to the surface creating an ultra-smooth, protective outer layer, and changing the status of the glass from high to low energy.
