At each stage of the processing procedure, the personnel responsible for handling the glass
must have the adequate equipment: safety shoes, safety gloves, safety glasses.
Product shelf life with protection (closed packaging): the glass has to be consumed within 9
months from the delivery in the processor’s facility.
The Stopray SMART range is self-matchable, except for Stopray SMART 32T: these
products can be used annealed or heat treated as required by the application. Both
annealed and heat treated products have similar reflection and transmission characteristics.
In case of heat treatment, the procedure and set up of the furnace in chapter 6 of this manual
must be strictly respected.
Stopray SMART Coatings, when installed in insulating glazing units, have to be assembled
with the coating towards the cavity so in position 2 of the insulating glazing. The glass should
be assembled in insulating glazing within one week after being heat treated, but advisable
to be assembled earlier.
Stopray SMART 51/33, which can be laminated with coating against PVB, should be
installed in Position 2 so that coating layer is embedded within the laminated glazing and
thereby protected. For more information, refer to Section 9.
(*depends on the durability test,
this paragraph might be removed if the test des not passed)
We advise processing and handling this coated glass with care in order to avoid coating
damage. The personnel responsible for handling must wear clean gloves to ensure that
no fingerprints are left on the glass. Therefore we strongly recommend that everything
coming into contact with the coating of the glass during preliminary processes be pre-
validated.
No edge deletion: Tests using different sealants have shown that, under strict conditions and
with a selection of sealants, prior edge-deletion is no longer required.
Edge deletion is required for laminating SMART 51/33. For more information, refer to
Section 9.
For the various glazing methods (traditional framing, structural glazing) tests for compatibility
and adherence of the coating with the sealant must be made in each case with the
sealant manufacturer.
