Sycamore Engineering and Klöpper Maschinentechnik have completed trials at Klöpper’s factory in Dortmund, Germany, on a new plant designed to process Chromatics safety glass.

As a result, glass manufacturers, glass processors, cladding companies and entrepreneurs can now distribute or manufacture Chromatics under licence anywhere in the world.

The Dortmund plant manufactures panels up to 4m x 2.6m and also acts as a working showroom production line.

Chromatics is a glass and aluminium laminate. It is lightweight, shatterproof and not susceptible to catastrophic nickel sulphide breaks.

Tested against impact, weathering and thermal differences, Chromatics is a component of monolithic panels and double glazed units.

It is designed for modern architectural needs, using no toxic elements in product or process. The process is low-energy and produces no effluent or gas, either in manufacture or disposal.
