The tempered glass production starts with subjecting float glass to temperatures equal to softening point of glass, approximately 680 Degree Celsius, and then rapidly cooling it. Sheets of float glass are heated in a long furnace where they are shaped either by pressing or naturally, by gravity. During manufacturing of glass these heated glass sheets are ‘quenched’ the moment they emerge from the furnace by strong blasts of cool air. This instant cooling creates stress points in the glass which makes it four to five times stronger than float glass.

Laminated glass is used mainly for windshields. This type of glass consists of a layer of plastic (pvb) is sandwiched between two sheets of float glass. This layer of plastic, when used in the glass manufacturing process, bonds the glass together, so that if it breaks on impact, the shards remain stuck together instead of shattering. That’s why laminated glass is used in places where the possibility of injury during accidents is high, like the front windscreen. High-end automobiles also use it for side and rear windshield glass.

Defogger glass removes ice and condensation from the backlite or back glass electrically, through patterns that heat up when charged, both within and outside the car. This allows for clear visibility in all weather conditions.

Unwieldy metal antennae can be quite an eyesore on a well-designed car. Glass antennae are printed patterns of conductive material on glass, accompanied by electric devices that send and receive signals. The printed pattern is adjusted to the correct length and shape to make the resonance of the signals match with the receiver. The advantages of glass antennae are that they are aesthetic, maintenance-free, durable and lightweight.

Here, a moulding of flexible pvc or polyurethane-rim (reaction injection moulding) around the glass perimeter is provided to give an aesthetically integrated trim for the product. It has the following benefits: integrated trim to glass. cost reduction through one supplier integration. tooling cost reduction through use of composite tooling less components to handle at customer end. overall program timing reduction.

Flush fitted glass is a new concept in the indian market. Two glasses assembled and fitted as exposed flush glass. One fixed glass directly glued to vehicle body while the other fixed glass moves on the first glass with help of upper and lower rails. When the second glass moves above the upper glass, a window is created.

Laminated Glass with increased iron content absorbs infrared rays and reduces the amount of heat in the car. This helps in: Reducing the solar energy entering the car Preventing the rise of interior temperatures Reducing the load on the air-conditioning, thereby reducing fuel consumption Reducing cool-down time after sun-soaked conditions Reducing skin irritation caused by sunlight

Infrared absorbent material is dispersed in the plastic interlayer of the laminated glass. This absorbs infrared rays and reduces the amount of heat in the car. This helps in: reducing the solar energy entering the car preventing the rise of interior temperatures reducing the load on the air-conditioning, thereby reducing fuel consumption reducing cool-down time after sun-soaked conditions reducing skin irritation caused by sunlight

It is a laminated windshield with an optically clear polyester (pet) substrate. Also, silver and metallic oxides are sputtered to create spectrally selective filters for solar control. Pet windshields help in: improving the visibility resists break-in’s reducing interior heat load increasing fuel efficiency potential weight & costs savings reducing emissions clear solar control (ir-reflecting) reducing noise reducing uv

Rain sensors save a driver from the constant distraction of having to flick the wipers to adjust the blade speed. A sensor at the base of the wipers detects the volume of rain falling on the windscreen and accordingly adjusts the speed of the wipers. It uses two types of sensor – the acrylic fiber system that bonds a bracket for the sensors to the glass and the silicon system which bonds the sensor lens to the glass

Driving on winter mornings can be quite daunting especially after heavy snowfall. Our heated windscreens have heat conductive patterns at the base near the wipers which melt the snow along the bottom of the glass and free the wipers to remove snow, and ice.

When rain pelts down, or a passing vehicle splashes up water on the car, forming a distorting translucent sheet on the glass surface, visibility can be dangerously low. To remedy this, our water repellent glass has a special polymer coating which does not allow water droplets to adhere to the surface. Water droplets are disallowed to spread and retain their spherical shape. These tiny pearls of water are easily blown away as the car increases speed, leaving the glass panel clear and clean. It is easy to clean as it resists dust and dirt. It requires little maintenance and is highly durable.

At ais we believe in providing holistic solutions, which is why we have now developed extruded windscreens. Extruded windscreens are fixed with a molded rim of putpe that is bonded with an adhesive. This forms an aesthetic lining along the edge of the glass, and allows original equipment manufacturers to fix windows to automobiles bodies in one convenient simple step.

Acoustic glass uses multi-layer co-extruded Acoustic PVB. It addresses the fundamental performance problems of glass with respect to noise transmission - Resonant vibrations and Coincident effect

Clear Float Glass from AIS, one of the leading glass manufacturing companies in India, is the highest quality clear glass with high precision flatness (surface smoothness) compared to other types of glass. Characterised by its uniform thickness, AIS Clear Float, of all the glass types, is highly popular in the construction of architectural exteriors and interiors, shop windows, showcases, mirrors, furniture, tabletops, automobiles and so on.

Is tinted heat-absorbing glass is a body tinted glass which absorbs energy from solar radiation. It, therefore, cuts down the sun’s heat, enabling greater convenience and comfort inside the building, while enhancing the aesthetic appeal of the building from outside. Features and benefits: ais tinted float glass absorbs 30% to 45% of the solar heat incident on the glass surface – depending on tint and thickness – and thus reduces the quantity of heat flowing into the buildings, lessening cooling-load on air-conditioning and saving energy costs. it is highly flexible in terms of applications, so architects and designers can now try and incorporate new design trends in their building. ais tinted float protects against glare and allows less visible light transmittance, thus, creating a soothing environment while reducing harmful ultraviolet ray penetration.

Rendering glass translucent to perfection, ais krystal is india’s only branded frosted glass. Ais krystal obscures the view while allowing light to pass through making it ideal for privacy or aesthetic appeal. Besides being a leader in the market, it offers a quality standard that is par excellence owing to its superior glass manufacturing techniques. Ais krystal (frosted glass) can be used in numerous interior design applications in both residential and commercial settings: doors shower screens partitions interior screens furniture cabinets and shelves false ceiling roofing customised design designer panels with images banisters stairs diffused lighting bathroom doors and windows

Special features the superior manufacturing process ensures that ais mirror is a high-quality, long-lasting durable mirror that exceeds the most stringent quality and resistance standards. copper-free coatings: in ordinary mirrors, once the copper coating is oxidized, due to reagents present in the paint, copper oxide diffuses the silver layer, causing brownish stains to appear. This serious defect is eliminated in ais mirror as they contain no copper. environment-friendly: ais mirror is environment friendly, as lead-free* protective paints are used in the coatings. unparalleled resistance to corrosion and ageing: ais mirror lasts three times longer than conventional mirrors and is characterised by enhanced resistance to harsh cleaning products. compatible with a wide range of adhesives. green back paint for easy recognition.
