LA Glass Flake GF001LA is a Low Alkali Glassflake, or LAG, which has been formulated specifically for use as a pigment substrate, giving the finished product unique effects. Glass flakes, or borosilicates as they are often referred to, are a unique substrate which, unlike natural micas and synthetic micas, have a completely planar and smooth surface. They are also completely transparent, giving rise to effect pigments coated with metal oxides that display high brightness, good color purity, and high chroma. Presently glass flake pigments are used in both cosmetic and industrial applications including automotive coatings.

C Glass Flake GF007/C is a corrosion resistant glass flake which is manufactured from modified C glass with a nominal thickness of Av. 5 +/- 2 microns. The manufacturing process utilized by this flake differs from the normal spun-glass method, resulting in a wider thickness specification. Primarily used in anti-corrosive coatings, glass flakes can be used to improve both barrier properties and reinforcement of mechanical properties, giving the finished product an isotropic reinforcement across the plane of the platelet. Glassflake materials are offered with the option of surface pre-treatment with a range of saline coupling agents including; 3-Aminopropyltriethoxy Saline, Vinyl trimethoxy Saline, ?-Glycidoxypropyltrimethoxy Saline and Methacryloxypropyltrimethoxy Saline.
C Glass Flake GF750/C is a corrosion resistant glass flake which is manufactured from modified C glass with a nominal thickness of Av. 5 +/- 2 microns. The manufacturing process utilized by this flake differs from the normal spun-glass method, resulting in a wider thickness specification. Primarily used in anti-corrosive coatings, glass flakes can be used to improve both barrier properties and reinforcement of mechanical properties, giving the finished product an isotropic reinforcement across the plane of the platelet.
