4. Environment / waste glass / health issues
VISION-LITE® (II) coated glass products can be disposed of as per clear float glass.
Edge working residues have to be continuously and completely collected during the grinding process.
These residues must be further treated in compliance with national legislation about industrial wastes.
In some legislation, residues from grinding process have to be treated as toxic wastes.
As for any dust coming from the grinding process, any inhalation or skin contact of these residues must
be avoided.
On request, a Safety Use Instruction Sheet (SUIS) relating to the ECDirective 91/155/EEC can be supplied.
5. Glazing instructions
The selection of a suitable and practical glazing method depends on a variety of factors such as the size
of the glass, the exposure and the type of framing material and system.
Glazing and fixing techniques must comply with the recommendations of the relevant national standards.
Glazing blocks, frame size and maximum frame deflection for double-glazed units are not specific to
VISION-LITE® range glass products.
6. Protection, cleaning and maintenance of the end
products
As for other glass products, it is important with VISION-LITE® range glass products to respect the
following:
•
In order to avoid damaging the glass with aggressive contaminants from site-works (e.g. paint,
plaster, mortar…), it is recommended that glazings are installed after all other work on site has
been completed. In case this cannot be respected, efficient protection of the glazing, by means of
polyethylene film for instance, must be put in place;
•
Minimise, as far as possible, the amount of time that the glass is stored on site prior to installation;
•
Follow the usual recommendations: store in a dry, well ventilated location, protected from adverse
weather conditions and variations in temperature and humidity;
•
Avoid splashes of concrete, plaster, mortar residues as much as possible. To prevent a chemical attack
on the glass, such substances must be removed from the glass immediately. It is recommended that
the glass is cleaned as soon as it is installed.
•
Glazing and fixing techniques must comply with the recommendations of the relevant national
standards. Glazing blocks, frame size and maximum frame deflection for doubleglazed units are not
specific to VISION-LITE® range glass products.
6.1. PROTECTION OF THE GLAZING DURING BUILDING WORKS
•
Use of semi-permanent stickers (1-3 months) with vinyl frontal and acrylic adhesive is possible. This
kind of label represents main part of the label market. Label should not let residues or at minimum
residues easy to remove with water or with isopropanol.
•
The identification labels on the glass sheets must be removed before or immediately after installation.
Do not use sharp/metallic tools for this purpose.
•
To indicate the presence of the glass sheet, do not use materials such as lime, chalk or soap on
