This video shows various ball drops on coated and uncoated 6mm tempered glass.

Here is the series of samples tested:

1. Uncoated – See the drop device continually getting raised each time the glass does not break
2. OPACI-COAT-300® Coated – See a large increase in height needed to break the glass 3. Ceramic Frit Coated – See the much lower height necessary to break the glass

ICD formulates and manufactures water-based coatings, resins, and chemicals in the US Pacific Northwest. We believe the world is a better place when innovative, green, sustainable products are specified and utilized. To support this, we offer education that explores why product performance and material selection matter. We are seen as experts in silicone coating technology and provide sustainable solutions where none previously existed. Topics include ultra-low VOC’s, the difference between solvent-based and water-based formulations, how coatings can be developed for improved energy reduction in the fabrication process, how ideal performance characteristics are achieved and more. ICD High Performance Coatings and Chemistries - We develop products to solve problems for our planet with clean chemistry.
