While most of the industry was focusing on soft coat glass products, however, Pilkington decided to go in a different direction, developing an entirely new way of coating glass during the float glass manufacturing operation called "pyrolytic" coating.

The center will be located at O-I in Perrysburg, Ohio. “The collaboration between local industries and education partners will provide great support for workforce development, sustainable manufacturing, and also spark glass industry innovation,” said Kyle Sword, R&D Director, North America.

The main constituent of Flat Glass is SiO2 (silica sand). This has a high melting temperature in the region of 1700 degrees C and its state at this temperature is like syrup on a very cold day.

NSG Group is rebuilding one of its furnaces at its float glass plant in Laurinburg, North Carolina. The project started on March 10, 2021 and is expected to be completed in late June 2021. “The investment is part of our ongoing commitment to our customers and the Laurinburg community,” said Chris Miller, Manufacturing Operations Director.

At the heart of the world's glass industry is the float process - invented by Sir Alastair Pilkington in 1952 - which manufactures clear, tinted and coated glass for buildings, and clear and tinted glass for vehicles.

Pilkington made a significant step in the glass industry with the development of Pilkington Activ™, the first dual-action self-cleaning glass.
