Vitro Architectural Glass Expands EcoArmor Protective Topcoat Availability to Solarban 70 Glass

Vitro Architectural Glass announced that EcoArmor Protective Topcoat is now available on Solarban 70 glass, expanding access to the company's film-free glass protection technology. Previously available on Solarban 90 glass, the expansion brings EcoArmor Protective Topcoat to two of Vitro's most widely specified solar control low-e glass products. 

Applied as a continuous protective coating,EcoArmor Protective Topcoat safeguards Solarban 70 and Solarban 90 glasses from chemical and mechanical damage during transportation, handling and fabrication. During tempering, the coating is removed by furnace heat, eliminating the need for traditional temporary protective films and the waste, labor and disposal requirements associated with them.

"Expanding EcoArmor Protective Topcoat to Solarban 70 glass is a significant milestone because it extends the benefits of film-free protection to the most specified triple-silver low-e glass," says Fernando Diez, Vice President of Marketing, Innovation & New Business Development, Vitro Architectural Glass. “As sustainability and operational efficiency continue to be top priorities across the glass industry, EcoArmor Protective Topcoat offers a smarter, more environmentally conscious alternative to traditional protective films, helping reduce waste and simplify fabrication while preserving the proven performance of Solarban glass."
