How it Works
Glass Corrosion
Just as metal rusts, glass is subjected to a corrosion process caused by
reactions between the glass surface and gases in the atmosphere. Even a
single droplet of moisture on protected glass can produce sufficient
damage to be visible in good lighting:
The
surface of glass is not smooth and consists of microscopic peaks and
potholes. Both organic and inorganic contaminants fill these potholes and
chemically react with the glass, firmly bonding to the surface. Because
of this, cleaning glass becomes more difficult and visibility
deteriorates.

ClearShield: The
Ideal Solution
ClearShield is a polymeric resin and, when applied to ordinary glass, it
cross-links to form a strong chemical bond. ClearShield is completely
transparent, chemically inert, non-hazardous and UV stable. Unlike a
coating, ClearShield becomes part of the glass so will not peel, flake or
crack.
The result is ClearShield Low-M (Low-Maintenance) Glass ® that prevents
contaminants from bonding to the surface and limits further damage caused
by corrosion and chemical attack. Dirt can easily be removed using normal
cleaning methods.
