1. Introduction to HLG System room-temperature glass coating Completely inorganic coating material Environmentally friendly coating method

2. Glass that does not need heat treatment! Heatless glass is a completely inorganic coating material used at room-temperature to produce a glass film (ceramic film). Conventional ceramic and glass products are formed through the fusion of component materials at high heat, followed by rapid cooling and hardening. In the past, ceramic and glass film could not be produced without a high temperature treatment process. However, Dr. of Engineering Kazumi Yasuda has overturned the conventional wisdom of previous ceramic production methods by inventing a heatless glass production method for ceramic and glass film. With his revolutionary heatless glass production method high-temperature processing is unnecessary, and ceramic and glass film can be produced at ordinary room-temperature.

3. Glassification by catalytic reaction When a heatless glass coating is applied, moisture in the air causes some of the components to begin transformation. In a chain-reaction, this transformation is repeated automatically. Each changed molecule triggers the transformation of the next molecule, causing the process to continue until the coating material stabilizes and hardens, resulting in a glass film. Once applied this coating material dries and becomes glass This production methods are developed by Dr. of Engineering Kazumi Yasuda

4. Why is this coating material environmentally friendly? The coating is inorganic. MostThe coating is inorganic. Most coating materials are made from petroleum – in short, organic matters. These organic substances are being scrutinized recently because they cause the production of dioxins and other harmful substances. Furthermore, the need to conserve petroleum and other limited resources has spurred efforts to switch from organic to inorganic primary materials.

5. No water pollution Recyclable Glass and ceramics are completely inorganic materials that release no harmful substances into water, so this coating material has almost no environmental impact. Since the coating contains no harmful substances, disposal is not problematic. This material can be treated just like rocks or sand. Handled carefully, it can even be recycled as aggregate.
