GLAS-LOK®
thermoplastic coatings
OVERVIEW
The glass thermoplastic solution.
Glass is frequently used for functional or decorative applications. It offers multiple advantages and a unique look, but it has a main weakness – it can break. Bringing safety and protection to all types of glassware is essential.
GLAS-LOK® is a single coat, primer-free, BPA-free, high-strength adhesive thermoplastic coating solution which provides shattering protection for glass.
How does it work?
GLAS-LOK® is formulated as a functionalized polyethylene copolymer that specializes in glass adhesion, to improve mechanical resistance to
fragile products. It can be applied by fluidized bed or electrostatic spray.
Main features
- A shatterproof coating that protects both the user from injuries and the product itself
- Chemical, scratch, and chip resistance.
- Preserves the original product appearance with a high gloss, high transparency finish
- Helps extends product lifetime and safety through a protective coat.
