The specialist glass processing company Romag has introduced a new toughened laminated glass.
The company’s new AirGlaz product combines anti-reflective properties with maximum strength for bespoke high value showcase applications where visual clarity and protection are priorities. The new range has been created using low iron float glass that incorporates magnetron sputter coating, which is then strengthened and toughened using thermal treatment processes.
According to the company this creates a scratch resistant surface with optical properties that allow light transmission of 97 per cent and reflection of less than 1pc. This compares to normal architectural float glass that typically has a light transmission of 90pc and a reflection of 8pc, the firm adds. In addition, the carefully tailored anti-reflective coating utilised in AirGlaz has been specially designed so that any reflection caught in the 1% factor appears in a dark blue rather than the pink area of the spectrum, helping to remove unwanted glare and prevent distortion.
AirGlaz can be supplied as single or double sided non-reflective units and can also be combined with protective interlayers to create a bonded laminate suitable for a range of specialist safety and security glazing applications. The product is available in a range of thicknesses, with multiple size and laminate combinations, with applications in high value retail displays, cabinets and shop fronts.
AirGlaz is made at Romag’s specialist glass processing and lamination facility that includes the use of temperature and humidity controlled ‘clean rooms’ to ensure product quality. The company’s manufacturing processes are fully certified to ISO9001 and it also holds ISO14001 and ISO 18001 certification. Visit www.romag.co.uk.
