ARG Structure
Building on our expertise in coating plastic substrates, Harzlas ARG is a series of thin-film layers coated on glass substrates with superb coating adhesion. ARG consists of AR layers with an additional anti-fingerprint layer to improve ease of cleaning. We can customize the layers to meet the requirements for your project.
Properties
Low Reflectance
High Transmittance
Improved clarity allows you to see the other side without hindrance.
High Chemical Resistance
Cleanable with common household chemicals without worrying about deteriorating the coating.
Water and Oil Repellent
Easy clean smudges and fingerprints with our specially formulated anti-fingerprint coating.
High Durability
Excellent scratch and abrasion resistance for long lasting usability.
Consistent Reflected Color
Our highly controlled production process allows for the coating to be evenly applied at the nanometer level, resulting in a consistent reflection color throughout the substrate.

Properties
Flexible Coating
Compatible with design containing smaller radii of curvature. For example, Harzlas ARG can achieve a minimum R of 25 mm on 1.1 mm thick glass.
Consistent Color
Harzlas ARG's coating thickness is controlled at the nanometer level for a consistent reflected color throughout the sheet.
Superb Adhesion
Coating on 1 or 2 Sides
Harzlas ARG is applied before any traditional glass processing is performed. The coating is able to withstand typical glass processing procedures.
