Vitro Expands EcoArmor™ Protective Topcoat to Solarban® 70 Glass
What happened
Vitro debuted EcoArmor™ Protective Topcoat at GlassBuild America in Las Vegas. The coating, which protects Solarban® 70 and Solarban® 90 glasses from chemical and mechanical damage during handling and fabrication, was expanded to include Solarban® 70 glass. The topcoat is removed by furnace heat during tempering, eliminating the need for traditional protective films.

Why it matters
The new coating offers a film-free alternative to traditional protective films, which helps reduce waste, labor, and disposal requirements in the glass fabrication process. Fernando Diez stated that this expansion extends the benefits of film-free protection to a widely specified triple-silver low-e glass.
