SAMPLE KITS IN DEMAND
» » JUST A FEW WEEKS
after launch, requests for the
new SMARTGLASS® Dynamic
sample kits have exceeded two
hundred, with companies and
individuals keen to try out this
revolutionary, self-tinting, glass
technology for conservatories,
Orangeries and other glazing
elements.
There has been considerable
investment in these handy-sized
sample kits, which encourages
users to place a sample piece of
SMARTGLASS® Dynamic in
any hot liquid for 30 seconds.
After such time the glass has
transformed from a clear to
a darkened state, reflective of
the process that occurs when
this glass technology is exposed
to direct sunlight in various
window, door and glazed roof
elements.
Jason McCabe commercial
and site director of Clayton
Glass commented: ‘The number
of requests for the glass has
exceeded expectations by some
way in just a matter of weeks.
We believe this technology
has considerable scope for the
conservatory sector in particular,
given the fact we can make
units in any shape and delivered
nationwide within 10-14 days
from point of order.
He continues: ‘Sales savvy
companies will look to promote
this technology to early
adopting consumers eager for
an adaptive and dynamic living
environment.’

A NEW ADDITION TO THE FAMILY
» » NANO 470, THE LEADING
innovator in glass bonding are proud to
announce a new addition to the company’s
ever increasing product range.
IC40 incorporates all the benefits of the
existing range but with increased viscosity,
this added benefit allows for the adhesive to
be beaded onto vertical areas as well as more
traditional horizontal work. Allowing time for
positioning of the glass with less run off and
slumping.
John Jackson, Managing Director, says,
“This new product has been developed over
the past 2 years, and further strengthens
the product range for use in Industrial
manufacturing applications, DIY uses and
glass artists alike.
“We developed IC40 in conjunction with a
major USA refrigeration manufacturer, which
makes 4 million units per annum and was
unhappy with the household name brand they
had been using. After exhaustive testing by them
including humidity, freezing, impact, shear and
drop tests. IC40 passed with flying colours.”
IC40 is a very high strength glass-glass and
glass-metal adhesive, which carries forward the
brands trade mark benefit of dual cure either
using UV light sources or visible light sources
which are low cost so much more suitable for
the DIY user or occasional user.
