  • Up to 70% Visible Light Transmission
  • Harvest natural light and save on artificial lighting during the day with KristalBond. A colourless and ultra clear coating, KristalBond reduces reflection on glass due to its crystal like nature. Only 7 microns thin with a low haze level of 0.8, KristalBond owes its super transparency to nanotechnology. Colourless, KristalBond preserves your window's originality, keeping it clear without any distortion.

  • 10-15 Years Durability
  • With a 6H hardness, KristalBond has a high scratch resistance, it does not peel, de-metalize or require special maintenance. KristalBond has strong binding property and glass-like characteristic and composed primarily same materials as glass. It does not incinerate nor pose any toxic danger.

  • 100% Accommodate
    Extraordinary Glass
  • Shape & Size
    KristalBond, glass in liquid form, can be coated on curved glass and large glass areas seamlessly for a perfect smooth finishing. Its superior self leveling properties give KristalBond the finishing edge over solar control films.


KristalBond Vs. Other Window Tinted Film

How KristalBond is different from others window tinted film:
  • Does not create glare to other buildings
  • Does not trap heat in the city
  • Does not have oxidation concerns such as de-metallizing
  • Retains heat during winter
  • Retains a high visible light transmission for daylight harvesting
  • Can be applied on selected glass panes particularly those facing East and West
  • Provides a longer warranty of 10-15 years
  Window Tinted Film   KristalBond
Durability   Fast peeling & bubbling   No peeling & bubbling at all
Performance   High IR cut but low visibility (dark). Low IR cut and high visibility   High IR cut (90%) and high visibility (70%)
Clarity   View appears blur, less colour saturation and hazy (high haze level: 2-3)   View appears very clear with natural, good colour saturation (low haze level: 0.8)
Hardness   Easy to get scratched. Pencil Scratch Hardness 2H to 3H   Harder to get scratched. Pencil Scratch Hardness 6H
Seamless Finishing   Obvious joining appears on large glass as film comes in fixed width; unable to apply on curved glass   Seamless finishing; no joining in large glass and curved glass.
Savings   Dark tinted film results in high power consumption for artificial lighting offsetting the effect of high IR cut performance   Cut IR but allow high visible light result in harvesting natural light
Economical   Requires frequent re-installation due to peeling, bubbling and distortions. Removing the existing film is an added cost.   No need to reinstall. Maintain superior appearance for years without distortion.

Technology


  • Patented in 16 countries, KristalBond's unique Sol-Gel Technology enables our silicone-based binder to cure at room temperature to give you a functional glass coating that is: 
    • Transparent
    • Ultra thin (7 micron)
    • Exellent in leveling
    • Quick drying
  • Silicone Binder for Perfect Bonding
    Our binder is composed primarily of silicone dioxide, the same material as glass. This makes KristalBond compatible with the glass surface and having similar attributes such as:
    • Clarity
    • Resistance to weather, scratch and fire


    Hi-tech Materials
    What differentiate KristalBond with other solar control products are its ingredients which are a hybrid of organic and inorganic substances. The inorganic component in KristalBond makes it many times more durable.

      Functional Additives that Make KristalBond Work: 
    • High performance infrared absorbers
    • High performance ultraviolet absorbers
  • Durability
    With its strong binding properties and glass-like characteristic, KristalBond’s durability exceeds 10 years. 

    Cross linking of materials make KristalBond coating stable compared to ordinary coating.

    Through Weathering Test in accordance with ISO 16474-2 : 2013, using the filtered Xenon-arc, KristalBond’s glass coating was exposed to intense radiation for 3000 hours which is exceeding 10 years of sun exposure (according to industrial standards). KristalBond passed the test with minimal change to its performance.

  • Clarity
    The use of nano sized ingredients make KristalBond naturally clear and non-reflective. The KristalBond coat also smoothes the surface by filling up micro size pits and unevenness, enhancing the glass clarity further.
  • Hardness
    Using the pencil scratch method in accordance to Scratch Hardness Test JIS K5600-5-4:1999, KristalBond has a hardness of 6H, surpassing tint films which range from 3 – 4H.
  • Self-levelling
    KristalBond is able to self-level evenly on glass surfaces of any position with little effects to gravity. The self leveling process occurs during the first 5 minutes after it has been applied. Whether applied on a glass ceiling or wall, its performance remains the same.

Test Compliance Method

KristalBond performance is tested by leading certification, inspection and testing agencies in Malaysia, Singapore and Japan.

KristalBond Case Study

  • Malaysia is a tropical country, which means that the climate is that of a hot summer all-year-round until it rains. As such, high quality glass coating capable of shielding against UV and infrared light becomes indispensable, thus keeping heat out, becomes indispensable. It is even more so given that since use of air-conditioning is largely inevitable in such a climate, the use of coated glass with effective heat and UV light reduction also help save energy and is a more environmental-friendly option than without.

    Below is a case study with Kristalbond glass coating in a Malaysian climate setting. Read on to find out more
  • Temperature Difference Study:
    Three temperature wireless data loggers are used to measure the temperature at different sections of one of the hotel in Malaysia; Outside; Inside without KristalBond coating; Inside with KristalBond coating.  
    The devices are placed on the west side of one of the hotel in Malaysia where it is the hottest.

    Outside: On a fair weather day in Malaysia, the average temperature outside one of the hotel in Malaysia ranges from 36°C - 40°C

    Non-coated glass: Inside one of the hotel in Malaysia, with air-conditioning the temperature drops ±6°C but fluctuates between 32°C - 28°C following the similar pattern of the temparature outside.

    KristalBond coated glass: With KristalBond coating, the temperature inside one of the hotel in Malaysia is further reduced to a consistent 25°C and remains stabilized (according to air-conditioning temperature setting).
