Colorbel – for colourful façades
Black is not the only colour! AGC’s Colorbel is a toughened glass coated on one side with an opaque layer of enamel. This enamel is available in 30 standard colours and six metallic colours.
Six extra colours are also available in the Colorbel range, the so-called CMs. CM stands for ‘Color Matching’ and these colours match six Stopray vision-glazing tints, to enable you to achieve a uniform glass façade.
How it works
The Colorbel enamel is baked into the surface of the glass at a high temperature. This makes Colorbel glazing highly resistant to the chemical effects of its environment. Tests have shown that the mechanical resistance of the enamel is as high as that of toughened glass. As for the colou... More

Pyropane – toughened fire-resistant glass in large
Fire. You don’t want to think about it. But we do, every day. Buildings need glass, whether in glass partitions or glass façades, and user safety is our first concern. The construction laws set the standards to be met by glass, including the fire-retardant properties which enable the safe evacuation of people from a building. AGC’s fire-resistant glass can be used in a variety of applications to meet specific requirements.
How it works
Pyropane is a toughened coated glass which remains clear in case of fire and is resistant to thermal shock. The coating on the glass acts as a fire shield and reflects the radiation.
Range
This range of fire-resistant glass can be used in both indoor and outdoor applications. Pyropane can easily be co... More
