India's Exclusive Dealer Appointed

April 2010

Gras Impex Pvt Ltd is now the exclusive dealer for the Indian market. Already in the solar control solutions industry, Gras Impex sees the technological advantage of KristalBond and how it compliments their existing business as an alternative solution to conventional tint films.

Retrofitted onto glass, KristalBond shares few similarities to tint film such as blocking out certain amounts of the solar spectrum and it is applied on the surface facing the interior. Their difference is distinctive as KristalBond comes in liquid form when applied and cures into a glass-like material (Silica). This allows the KristalBond coat to bond onto the glass surface, making it far more durable without concerns on peeling. Liquid application makes it possible for KristalBond to be coated on curved glass and large glass areas seamlessly.
