What is ClearShield?

ClearShield is a polymeric resin and when applied to ordinary glass, cross-links to form a strong 'covalent' chemical bond with the glass surface. ClearShield is completely transparent, chemically inert, non-hazardous and UV stable. Unlike a coating, ClearShield becomes part of the glass so will not peel, flake or crack.

The ClearShield System

The ClearShield System provides a proven solution for the renovation, protection and ongoing lower maintenance of both new and installed glass. The ClearShield system is a unique ‘non-stick’ surface technology that provides unrivalled benefits wherever glass is specified.

For commercial applications, the ClearShield System ensures that a building’s glass stays cleaner for longer between routine maintenance schedules, and is always much easier to clean and maintain, reducing time, effort and resources required to clean the glass surfaces.

By reducing the frequency of cleaning, it results in substantial cost savings. The cost of cleaning the windows of a modern high-rise building can run into hundreds of thousands of dollars each year.

A building with ClearShield Low-M Glass treated windows can cut cleaning frequency by more than half. The Heathrow Airport control tower reduced its frequency of cleaning from 7 times a week to once a week. Imagine the cost savings they enjoyed!

ClearShield Low-M Glass maintains glass in pristine condition, ensuring your building will continue to retain its beautiful appearance for much longer and also results in significantly reduced cleaning and maintenance costs.

ClearShield Low-M Glass is chemically inert or non-reactive with most substances. It therefore acts as a barrier against the bonding of contaminants and is more resistant against the attacks of moisture and alkalinity.

ClearShield Low-M Glass is less than a micron thick and will not bond to any other surface.

The performance of the ClearShield System has been independently verified by testing organisations, laboratories, universities and major glass companies around the world. It has more than 25 years of proven global success in all concievable environmental situations.
