SOME LIVE EXAMPLES OF INNOVATION

Vitrage
Research in the areas of thermal glass, complex shapes for automobile glass, glass with high optical qualities, anti-reflection and electrically controlled glass.

Insulation
Glass containers which are better adapted in terms of health and environmental considerations.

Reinforcement
New products made of composite materials.


Packaging
Lighter and more efficient products.

Ceramics & Plastics
High Performance Plastics reinforced with quartz.

Abrasives
Research programs in abrasive grains, bonds, porosity, fillers, and substrates produce innovative products that exceed customer requirements: products with long life and high productivity, generating superior surface finishes and geometric tolerances with minimal workpiece degradation.

Building Materials
New roofing materials.

Pipelines
New pipe linings, both inside to ensure flow, and outside to protect against corrosion.
