Glass Analysis
Glass is a crucial element in numerous applications. We have unmatched expertise in detailed glass analysis to assess quality.
Today there is more glass in use than ever before. It is a critical design component encompassing environmental protection, appearance, safety, light transmission, and thermal management. The increasing importance and sophistication of glass means that more advanced analyses are needed to address manufacturing issues.
Serving the entire glass value chain
For over 40 years, EAG has been involved in the entire value chain, from raw starting material to final products. We investigate the composition and quality of raw materials and production glass, give research and development support to glass factories during process optimization, glass tank wear-out studies, verification tests and failure analysis investigations. Furthermore, in the field of surface modification, delamination, and corrosion of coatings, EAG has unmatched expertise.
