Vitro, a leading glass manufacturing company in North America, inaugurated its new architectural glass coating oven, Coater 8, located at its plant in Mexicali, Baja California.

Coater 8 had an investment of 60 million dollars and added a production capacity of more than six million square meters of layered glass, which is characterized by nanotechnology coatings.

The above is useful to control solar radiation and improve thermal insulation, capabilities that are increasingly in demand within the architectural and automotive industries, among others.

In addition, it includes the production of glass with SolarbanTM layered nanotechnology, which allows solar gain in houses and buildings to be reduced by up to 75%, insulating the interior up to six times more than standard glass.

According to Adrián Sada Cueva, General Director of Vitro, with this new oven Vitro will be able to produce glass in layers of jumbo sizes (up to 3.30 x 6.10 meters).

Highly demanded products in the regional market, for the construction of buildings that seek to control heat and preserve air conditioning more effectively, as well as vehicles with windows that enable greater fuel efficiency and comfort, and white goods equipment that better insulate food and drinks, among other uses.

This investment in the Mexicali plant joins others recently made by Vitro in other projects at a national and international level, such as the new Envases oven in Toluca.
