The Surface Refining Agent ML

Many important properties of glass depend on the quality and condition of the glass surface. An improvement of the glass surface thus means an increase in the product properties.

Effective for all common bulk glasses
Efficacy in other glass systems
- Opaque glass
- Borosilicate glass
- Enamel
The composition is specially adapted to the application.
