Deposited on to-be-tempered coated glass, it delivers effective protection against mechanical damage as well as ageing, during transport and processing, from deposition of the coating until tempering. During tempering, EASYPRO ® simply burns off without leaving any residue inside or outside the furnace and without any negative impact on the environment or personal health and safety. ©Saint-Gobain Developed for the ease of processing, EASYPRO ® offers flexibility and productivity, it • reduces surface scratches and remakes • increases shelf life in stock of after cutting • eliminates time to unseal the pack • optimizes tempering cycles • improves tempering quality EASYPRO ® is a sustainable innovation, minimizing waste and saving energy, it • optimizes loading into trucks and thus the carbon footprint of transport • reduces the amount of packaging and avoid plastic waste • reduces the scraps and damages and thus the need to produce new glazing • offers energy saving benefits by allowing reduced temperature levels in the furnace. EASYPRO ® is an ally for ambitious projects and preserve aesthetic of tempered coated glass, it • improves the optical quality of heat-treated glass • helps to deliver optimal aesthetics for most demanding projects (e.g. with impressive overlength glass) EASYPRO ® protects the following to-be-tempered coatings (on PLANICLEAR ® , DIAMANT ® or ORAÉ ® ): • COOL-LITE ® XTREME II and SKN II (standard with EASYPRO ® ) • COOL-LITE ® KN II (standard with EASYPRO ® ) • EASYPRO ® is also available on demand on PLANITHERM ® II glass Contact us for individual inquiries or coating availability on the different substrates.
