A matter of C(G)lass
GLASCOAT makes glass that makes sense and
a lot of profit for the end user! Over the years, GLASCOAT
has continuously generated various types of glass formulations
with superior strength, quality and performance.
GEL2200 :
GLASCOAT GEL2200 glass offers complete protection
against corrosion across the entire pH range and has excellent
resistance to radii spalling, which allows easy and safe application
on geometrically complex and curved surfaces. GEL2200 has
unique combination of having higher impact, wear resistance
and also higher thermal conductivity.
The corrosion resistance of GEL2200 for
various acids and alkalies at a given concentration and temperature
are shown in iso corrosion curves. These curves are obtained
from the test procedure as per DIN - ISO standards. Refer
figure 1. The test procedure gives consideration to volume
to glass surface area ratio which is an important parameter
pertinent to glass-line equipment in service.
NUCLEA GEL 4000 :
The latest entrant in the GLASCOAT stable
is a result of relentless R&D that denotes real face of
an innovative organisation like GLASCOAT. The recently developed
NUCLEA GEL4000 is a glass ‘n’ steel formulation
that exhibits exceptional resistance to extra ordinary high
temperatures. This substance is an example of constant endeavours
in the field of product development and an inclination towards
synthesizing best of engineering practices and technological
advancements.
Nuclea Gel-4000 glass is suitable for higher
temperature (325 oc) processes. It exhibits improved thermal-shock
properties that facilitates faster heating and cooling thus
resulting into reduction of process cycle time.
