Global Coated Glass Market: Overview

A coating is a kind of covering that is applied on the object’s surface. Moreover, the aim of applying a coating to the glass can either be functional, decorative, or even both. In the coating of glass, the coating is merged into the surface of glass at rising temperatures, thereby making it durable along with enhancing its stiffness. In addition to this, glass coating helps save energy along with minimizing carbon emissions. Apart from this, coated glass offers longevity, scratch resistance, and resistance against dirt, snow repellence, water, and ice. It also imparts protection against sun rays, and rust resistance, and possesses self-cleaning features.
