GLAZING TECHNOLOGY OPTIMIZATION

 INglass-HRSFlow is the world's sole manufacturer able to produce large-scale clear polycarbonate surfaces such as sun roofs, rear windows and backlite.

This innovative technology is protected by numerous international patents and made its world debut at the Düsseldorf plastics trade fair, the K Show, in 2004. Since then, INglass-HRSFlow has continued its research into optimizing a system which is set not only to revolutionize the automobile industry "from the outside" but to improve safety, fuel consumption and aesthetic appearance into the bargain.

Among its main advantages

More innovative design solutions: Glazing technology makes it possible to develop more complex aerodynamic shapes than could be achieved using glass; shapes that integrate well with the vehicle bodywork.

Increased passenger safety: Polycarbonate has much greater elasticity than glass and, as a result, is more shock-proof with greater resistance to collision. This drastically reduces serious injuries and death in automobile accidents such as when the vehicle overturns.

40% reduction in overall vehicle weight: In line with the growing demand for environmentally-friendly means of transport, this polymer allows vehicle weight to be drastically reduced. This consequently results in  significant savings in fuel consumption and a reduction in exhaust and pollutant emissions.

 WEIGHT REDUCTION = CLEAN ENVIRONMENT

Each vehicle = 9 Kg weight reduction
Example: Take 440,000 vehicles
Average distance traveled: 17,000 km
Fuel saving/year: 5.6 million liters
Reduction in CO2 emissions/year = 13 tons
Equal to 14.3 square km of trees saved/year
