Fusing design and function for innovative glass solutions

At the SCHOTT Flat Glass booth, visitors can experience a wide range of printing and coating solutions that offer new designs and functions on glass. The latest innovations focus on three key themes: distinctive look, family design, and functional innovations. This includes fascinating design options that give the modern kitchen a new look, realizing natural material effects on glass in a whole set of kitchen appliances and, following the company’s sustainability efforts, various energy saving and easier-to-clean options for consumers.

From patented technology to fascinating design

SCHOTT® Duo Design realizes highly durable printing on both sides of the glass that is scratch and chemical resistant. This enables stunning visual and haptic effects such as 3D designs, matt-gloss contrasts, or the look and feel of natural materials, which can also be used in family design. SCHOTT® MetalLook combines the chic look of stainless steel with the advantages of glass and is available in different colors and brush pattern. It is easy to clean, and allows fine logos, display and touch functions on strong metal appearance.

Functional innovations for energy saving and easy-care

SCHOTT® CleanPlus is an advanced easy-to-clean treatment on the glass surface that minimizes the effort and time for cleaning. It is extremely durable and can be high-temperature resistant.  Also on display are options that increase the energy efficiency of appliances, such as double-side heat reflective coating for inner oven doors that saves energy and reduces the temperature of baking oven doors. SCHOTT® Cool Print is a special ceramic ink, which is able to reduce the outer door temperature of pyrolytic ovens by reflecting more heat into the cavity.

“We are looking forward to the upcoming to AWE 2021 and having great discussions with the customers and experts about our products and processing technology,” says Albert Chen, Managing Director of SCHOTT Suzhou and Shanghai. “This is the first time we will be exhibiting our Flat Glass product at this important trade fair, and we are really going to make the most of our time there.”
