Glass Coating Market Overview

The Glass Coating Market is expected to grow at a high CAGR of 8.8% during the forecasting period (2024-2031). 

Glass coatings are used as energy-saving coating materials that provide an esthetic demand to glass substrates. Moreover, the coating is highly long-lasting and offers benefits like protection from chemical & mechanical stress, increased scratch resistance, and shatter protection. Furthermore, the layers are abrasion & chemical resistant and protect against UV radiation. They are widely employed in the automotive, building & construction, marine, and aviation industries. The coatings consist of silicon dioxide particles with hardened resin and are applied to vehicles and buildings to resist contamination and increase shine.

Low E coatings include single silver low-E, double silver low-E, triple silver low-E. The difference between them is of silver layers numbers inside the coating compared with the exact insulated glass 2.8W/M2. K U value, double glazed units with low-E coatings can reach 1.5W/M2. K U. The most advanced low-E IGU combination is Triple silver low-E coated+12WAR+clear +12WAR Triple silver low-E coated value that can be 0.6w/m2.k.This kind of glass is used in passive buildings and keeps the minimum temperature difference between indoor and outdoor. Moreover, the greenhouse/solar glass industry requires high light transmittance and provides higher solar energy to penetrate the glass. Simultaneously, anti-reflective coatings will boost the light transmittance by 2.5% and decrease the light reflective to about 2%. Even though the difference looks small, but the extensive scale application will make a big difference. Besides, anti-reflective coatings are also used in museums to ensure a better visiting effect.
