Extend life of coating
Glass flakes dispersed through the coating prevent the ingress of water vapour and chemical solutions.

Prevention of cracking and peeling
Glass flakes provide a thermal stabilisation layer in the protective coating and greatly reduces the risk of cracking and peeling of the coating due to thermal shock.

Improved wear resistance
Glass flakes increase the hardness of epoxy and polyester resin coatings, giving higher resistance to surface wear. Chemical resistance.
C glass has greater resistanceto chemical attack, compared to other types of glass.

Glass Flakes
Glass Flakes is a C glass platelet with thickness of 5 micron. It is made of 1200C melt glass marble, by blowing bubble cooling smashing filter milling and other processing steps. Glass Flakes is mixed in a paint as a lining material and applied onto surfaces of metals and concretes, and also is utilized in applications such as pigments and cosmetics.

How does it work
Glassflakes particles form dense, inert barriers within the paint film. Overlapping layers of glass resist water and chemicals permeating the paint film. The addition of glass also increases the flexibility, hardness and abrasion resistance of coatings.
