AcuraCoat® CVD coating systems transform financially vulnerable float glass facilities into highly profitable, value added pyrolytic glass factories. Float manufacturers can transform their business at a fraction of the initial float line cost, while maintaining the ability to temper laminate CVD coated glass. For new or retrofit, adding an AcuraCoat® CVD system is a proven method to increase profit.
Below is a CVD system with multiple coaters and multiple layers.
