sedak launches first tempered glass without anisotropies
sedak tempered+ is a new generation of fully tempered and heat-strengthened glass with no visible anisotropies. Based on a revolutionary advanced tempering process, the company now offers customers, architects and developers tempered glass with best optical properties from every angle and under any lighting condition.
”We are committed to ensuring that our glass addresses the evolving needs of architecture and buildings. One of these needs is the elimination of anisotropies. We’ve invested a lot towards our research and development to eliminate these optical effects occurring during tempering. Today, we are setting new standards in glass,” said Kevin Berni, Head of Sales at sedak. “With sedak tempered+ we have brought the tempering process to the next level and made architects’ dreams come true: Heat-treated glass without the effects of anisotropies. Rainbow pattern belong to the past. Pattern-free tempered glass is now.“
“Anisotropies in glass are typically unavoidable but can be reduced with a well-designed furnace program. With our patented tempering process, we have succeeded to reduce this effect to nearly zero. This is revolutionary, especially in the case of multi-layer laminates, where the effect tends to multiply. With sedak tempered+, the effect of anisotropies is now minor,” said Fritz Schlögl, Head of Research and Development at sedak.
Like common tempered glass, sedak tempered+ is produced by heating the glass to a high temperature, usually around 640°C, and then rapidly, cooling it using air fans. Through a cutting-edge manufacturing technique, the product still achieves all technical properties needed for tempered glass in line with all codes, but with remarkable clarity and vision.
