All You Need to Know About Flat Glass Coating – Anti Stain Solution

Flat glass coatings are used to prevent glass surfaces from pollution, dirt, and dust that are accumulated on the glass surface or panels to improve their performance and prevent it from corrosion, humidity, temperature, and weather changes. It also increases factory gloss and paint film thickness which decreases the chances of damage.

Advantages of Glass Coating

• It acts as a scratch-resistant coating
• Prevents glass from oxidation
• It gives a beautiful shine to the surface of the glass
• Also, it protects the paint from all kinds of pollutants, dirt and dust and also from harmful UV rays

Types of Glass Coatings

There are two types of flat glass coating: water-based and solvent-based coatings. The Water-based coating is cheap and hence is more preferable by commercial and residential property owners as it minimises the cost and maximises the profit. On the other hand, a solvent-based glass coating is better as it has a higher quality and therefore, is highly recommend-ed for automobiles, solar power, and mirrors. Here, a water-based coating can be use-d at the bottom to enhance the performance of the glass.

The quality of raw materials used like resins, pigments and additives used in preparing the glass coating determines its quality.

Water-based coating is the most popular coating and is known to contribute much more to the growth of the flat glass coating industry. This can be appli-ed using brush, spray, dipping, a roller or flowing. All these methods can be equally effective if the coating expert is professional. One of the commonly used methods for commercial or on-site flat glass coating application. Which is ideal for a large-scale operation is onsite spraying.

The surface of the glass that is prepar-ed freshly is very reactive. While transportation or sorting of the glass it can react with humidity which after penetration resulting in strong adhering staining. Glass may corrode and its degree depends on humidity, temperature, storage and transport conditions and also the quality of the glass.

Anti-Stain Coating

Anti-stain coatings are appli-ed to glass to save it from corrosion and as well as the formation of stains during glass transportation and storage. These coatings of acidic mixtures are uniformly sprea-d and deposited over the glass.

The spraying method is used for glass spraying services as it does not clog and no solution is wasted by over-spraying. Very thin, uniform, durable layers can be appli-ed for excellent protection of glass with minimised exhaust and energy requirements during deposition, low drying times with the use of the spraying method.
