About Construction & Contractors

Glass coating and tinting is one of the process made to a glass that features adding a coating barrier to the glass in order to add lustrous look to it and to provide added protection against cracks. Also tinting the glass is another option to reduce the passage of light to reduce radiation. They are mainly used in commercial buildings for privacy purposes. Glass coating can be classified into two categories: Protection coating or color coating. Protection coating is providing a layer of protection to the glass to prevent cracks or other damages. An application of a surface coating is the most common process involved. Glass can be coated using powder or spray-on-liquid. Powder coating is a type of coating applied as a dry powder. It does not require a solvent to bind the mixture into a liquid form. The coating is applied electrostatically and is cured under the heat in order to form a skin-type coating. Powder coating can be recycled and can be used again. It produces less hazardous waste than liquid coatings and it produces much thicker coating than the spray coatings. The liquid spray coating consists of pure silica that is extracted from quartz sand and water or ethanol. The spray produce a water-resistant coating on the glass and it is environmentally harmless and non-toxic. It also repels bacteria, water and dirt, and heat resistant. Unlike powder coating, liquid coating is breathable and it can also be used on plants and seeds. Color coating is a process where paint is applied to the glass. It can be coated in the means of electrochromic process, oil based, matte, enamel, air-dried, or self-adhesive.
