A Breakthrough in Glass Protection

We can provide a one-time application of a non stick environmentally friendly coating to your glass, guaranteed to keep its as new appearance for years to come.

The seemingly smooth surface of glass consists of microscopic ridges and valleys which creates a favourable environment for builup of contaminants such as soap scum, hard-water deposits and grime.

In time, the glass surface will visibly dull and become difficult to clean. This will result in high maintainance and premature replacement costs due to deteriation.



Benefits of Crystal Clear Technology

Vitroglaze is a Permanent coating that prevents the adhesion and buildup of contaminants onto the glass surface. It also provides water and oil repellant properties.

Working similar to non-stick cookware your glass becomes easier to clean without the need for harsh chemicals.

VITROglaze® has been designed to protect any silica based surface such as glass, granite, porcelain, and ceramic tiles, and significantly reduces the time and effort required to maintain these surfaces by up to 90%.



Applications of Crystal Clear

The applications of Crystal Clear's Vitroglaze are virtually limitless. Some of the areas in which we have provided glass protection include:

  • Windows
  • Bathrooms
  • Kitchens
  • Balustrading
  • Marine/Boats
  • Skylights
  • Shower doors
  • Splashbacks
  • Tiles
Technical Abstract

Organic-inorganic (hybrid) reagents can be formed from various combinations of metal and silicon alkoxides to create a nanoscale admixture of inorganic-oxides that can covalently bond to silica, metal, ceramic and stone substrates. The process of bonding (adhesion) at the nanoscale level is made possible by the sol-gel method.

Adhesion generally occurs when the substrate and the coating are held together by interfacial molecular contact in such a way that a unit is formed.

Adhesion is a complex phenomenon related to physical effects and chemical reactions at the interface. Adhesive forces are set up as the coating is applied to the substrate and during curing or drying. The magnitude of these forces will depend on the nature of the surface and the binder used in the coating.

VITROglaze bonds onto silane (glass) surfaces both mechanically and chemically. In doing so it modifies the physical and chemical properties of the surface making it more resistant to build up of contaminants.
