Chromatics is a modern, lightweight, shatterproof safety glass with a number of unique features that are changing conventional thinking throughout the worldwide cladding and glazing markets.

Significantly it is a glass and aluminium laminate – and not susceptible to catastrophic nickel sulphide breaks.

At Glasstec this year, there is an opportunity for glass manufacturers, glass processors and entrepreneurs throughout the world to manufacture or distribute the innovative and versatile Chromatics product under licence.



The companies behind this licence package opportunity are Sycamore Engineering Ltd and Klöpper KG of Dortmund.  Sycamore has developed the Chromatics process in the UK, where it has been exhaustively independently tested against impact, weathering, and thermal differences.

The product is a unique safety glass that offers unrivalled design opportunities, in colour or print, along with extraordinary resilience and safety. It is an integral component of monolithic panels, double glazed units, rainscreen systems and a wide range of interior applications, and is environmentally acceptable to modern architectural needs, using no toxic elements in product or process with a significantly smaller carbon footprint than ceramic-coated tempered glass.



If you are interested in plant investment or product distribution and marketing, visit us on the Klöpper Stand - Hall 15/ A39 at GLASSTEC, Dusseldorf – from Sep 28th to Oct 1st
