Press Release Summary:
Water-based Aqua-333UV bonds chemically to glass, eliminating need for high-temperature baking. It will not yellow or fade under direct sunlight, and offers chemical, water, and abrasion resistance as well as UV blocking properties. Low VOC formulation is based on lead-free and cadmium-free glass. It is suited for decoration of automotive windshields, glass-topped stoves and oven doors, as well as shower doors and other frosted glass panels.
Original Press Release:
Aqua-333UV* Waterborne Frosted Glass Coatings
Aqua-333UV provides low temperature cure not achieved by any other coating process as well as being low VOC and water
based. The coatings bond chemically to the glass, thus eliminating the need for high temperature baking, as other glass
coatings require to.
Application of Aqua-333UV is an alternate of acid-etching process for surface alteration of glass for decoration of
automotive windshields, glass-topped stoves and oven doors, as well as shower doors and other frosted or decorated
glass panels.
Aqua-333UV is used on second surfaces for both exterior and interior applications such as wall cladding, partitions, shower
doors, store fixtures and many other applications. Even metals and plastics substrates have seen the advantage of Aqua-
333UV
Aqua-333UV will not yellow or fade under direct sunlight (depending upon pigmentation) and has excellent resistance to
chemicals and water, abrasion resistance and has UV blocking properties.
Aqua-333UV comes in frosted patterns.
Chemical Composition: Aqua-333UV formulation is based on a lead-free and cadmium-free glass, combined with a novel processing approach to create the final frosting surface systems.
Durability: Good resistance to attack by mild acids, alkalis, alcohol and water.
Typical Baking (Firing) Conditions
Convection oven: 10 minutes @ 350°F (177°C)
IR Oven: 2.5-3 minutes @ 350°F (177°C)
Ease of Clean up: Flushing with soap and water or mild cleaning agent is usually all that is necessary to clean equipment and
screens. For screen plugs, spray with Isopropyl Alcohol, and lightly scrub with clean soft-bristled brush.
Shipping: Shipping can occur immediately after cure and the glass has cooled.

Methods of Application
Surface cleaning of substrate: Like any high quality surface coating, the cleanliness of the substrate is extremely important. Dirt, dust, oil and presence of other coatings on glass substrate can cause surface defects or performance problems.
Aqua-333UV can be supplied ready-to-use for application by traditional wet spraying or brushing coating techniques.
Note: The user of this product should check the performance of this coating before application.
