15. SCREEN PRINTING AND ENAMELLING
Safety backed Lacobel/Matelac cannot be screen printed or enamelled, with the exception of so-
called “cold” screenprinting. Lacobel/Matelac and safety backed Lacobel/Matelac can resist to an
absolute temperature of 80°C and can resist a relative temperature difference of 30°C within one
sheet.
16. INSULATED GLAZING
Lacobel/Matelac are painted decorative glass products for use in interior applications only.
They cannot be used in insulated glazing units, even on the inner side of the glazing unit.
17. PACKING THE PROCESSED PRODUCT
Place the sheets vertically on or in the packing material, taking care to avoid scratches caused by
stacking (see storage instructions).
Separate the sheets with:
▪
paper or cardboard spacers
▪
cork discs with (self-adhesive) foam, placed on the glass side, around the edges of each
glazing to prevent contact between the glass and the paint, or
▪
soft spacers, e.g. medium particle size polyolefin based interleaving powder, but avoid organic
products such as Lucite beads, as these can scratch paintwork.
▪
When shrink-wrapping, perforated plastic may be used if the glass is to be stored in a dry area
for a normal length of time.
