A great honor for a great product
ROBAX® IR SuperMax impressed with its new IR coating for fire-viewing panels, which reflects significantly more heat than an uncoated ROBAX® fire-viewing panel. This results in higher temperatures in the burning chamber and more efficient combustion. Among other things, this can reduce the amount of particulate matter and CO. The higher heating also reduces sooting on the inside of the glass-ceramic panel. At the same time, the use of ROBAX® IR SuperMax enables a more comfortable room temperature. The latest product from SCHOTT ROBAX® Smart Heat portfolio was launched in the fall of 2020 and the first samples were already delivered to customers earlier this year."The German Innovation Award is a great honor for us. We are delighted that the jury has recognized the innovative strength of our development in this way. Together with the great response immediately after the launch, this is a great confirmation that we have brought a highly relevant product to the market," says Stephanie Schwarz, Vice President Sales & Marketing at SCHOTT ROBAX®.
