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

The approaches proposed by planners and architects for adapting to climate change will be discussed at glasstec 2024 (22-25 October, Düsseldorf) at its Architecture Forum.
Implementing quality controls and checkpoints during production and inspecting 100% of the tempering process, guarantees less rejections in the field converting into more profit.
The use of laminated glass with PVB and ionoplast interlayers not only offers improved safety but can also be designed to help mitigate security threats ranging from basic safety to burglary and forced entry resistance and even ballistic protection.
This study experimentally investigated the strength behavior of toughened glass with cylindrical near-edge holes via photoelasticity and destroying four-point bending test.
In this contribution, PVB interlayers for highly effective and low-surface coverage bird-friendly laminated safety glass will be described.
