Tempered glass panel OPALIT® EVOLUTION

translucentcoloredenameled

Presentation
OPALIT EVOLUTION is a translucent enamelled toughened glass. Its clear or coloured appearance is achieved by depositing, on one face, a layer of translucent enamel fired at high temperature and fully integrated into the glass surface. It combines a contemporary frosted look with the performance of enamelled toughened glass for interior and exterior use.

Applications

• Partitions, shower panels, framed or frameless doors
• Furniture: tables, office furniture, shelves, cabinet doors, etc.
• Glazed façades, translucent spandrels
• Street furniture, signage

Benefits

• Privacy and luminous colours: transmits light while protecting from direct view; frosted appearance available in several shades for façades and interiors.
• Exceptional durability and safety: retains all the properties of enamelled toughened glass; colour permanence ensured by the manufacturing process.
• Environmental performance: use of lead- and cadmium-free enamels to facilitate recycling.

Selection criteria
OPALIT EVOLUTION is a diffusing product. Colour intensity may vary with viewing angle and lighting. It is recommended to verify the intended aesthetic in situ and to produce a full-scale prototype placed in the final environment.

Range
Available in three shades: natural, blue and green. The natural shade can be manufactured on DIAMANT® extra-clear glass for specific aesthetic requirements.

Recommendations
Colours vary slightly with glass thickness. For uniform colour, use a single glass thickness per project. Slight variations may occur between production batches: prefer using the same production run for a given project.

Care instructions
To preserve its aesthetic qualities, OPALIT EVOLUTION should be cleaned regularly with neutral agents free of aggressive abrasive substances.
