- Particular care should be taken for transporting, storing, cutting and washing of heat and solar control coating on clear float glass TRC Ecosol.
- TRC Ecosol is affected by acid. Since human perspiration is acidic, care must be taken that the coating is not damaged by fingerprints. Wearing clean and waterproof gloves is therefore absolutely essential when manipulating coated glass. Dirty and oily gloves should be changed immediately. They can be used again after truly washing and drying.
- During the cutting process of coated glass, care should be taken that the uncoated side of the glass is placed downwards to the cutting table. It is always the coated side that is scored. Suction cups should be applied to the uncoated surface when placing the glass to the cutting table. Manual cutting is not recommended for soft TRC Ecosol. For machine cutting, highly volatile cutting oil must be used.
- Before insulating glass unit production heat and solar coating must be removed 10 mm from the edges of the TRC Ecosol
- TRC Ecosol should be washed with soft bristle brushes and demineralized water with a conductance not exceeding 30 µs/cm should be used.
- Cut size TRC Ecosol panes must not be left out unpacked. All processes from cutting through to insulating glass unit assembly must be completed in the same day.
- The heat and solar control coating should be placed on the second surface of the insulating glass unit.
- Provided the below instructions are followed, the storage
time for a sealed stack of TRC Ecosol is 6 months.
- TRC Ecosol packs
must not be uncovered until the temperature of the
pack and that of each individual glass pane has reached
to equilibrium with the temperature of the processing
hall. (Opening stacks or packs before achieving the
production hall temperatures, may entail condensation
of humidity in between the individual panes with adverse
effects on the coating.)
- Condensation may be observed on the outer surface
of the first and last glass panes. While unpacking,
there is a possibility of water droplets to get between
the glass panes In order to avoid this situation corresponding
glass panes should be dried properly.
- Also the packaging material of glass packs and stacks
should not be removed until the cutting process.
- The temperature of the plant area should not fall
below 15oC. Storage in the vicinity of
doors must be avoided.
- The plant, production hall and transportation areas
should be free of aggressive fumes. (Particular care
should be taken that the hydrochloric acid etc. substances
should not be stored at the same area.)
- After the surrounding tape of the TRC Ecosol has been removed, any
remains of dehumidifying agent must be removed from
the upper edge of the stack or pack.
Any dehumidifying agent remaining on the upper edge
of the glass will produce scratches when it enters
into the space between the panes on handling of the
individual sheets. Residue on the uncoated side by
the surrounding tape can be cleaned by mild agents
and ethyl alcohol.
- Remaining pieces or lites of the TRC Ecosol should be re-sealed using
the same packing materials, renewing the dehumidifying
agent. Before packaging operation, the color of the
randomly chosen dehumidifying agent should be checked.
In case the color of the dehumidifying agent is pink,
then it should be changed.
