Many modern glass applications require additional production or processing such as coating technologies and coating materials for advanced building or solar applications. Most common today are self cleaning, anti reflective, infra-red reflective and low-emission coatings for automotive, architectural and PV solar panel applications. The application of these coatings happens via complex on-line chemical vapor deposition and off-line cathodic sputtering technologies. These processes requiring precise control of chemical flows as well as highly accurate temperature control as part of the integrated production process.
