OPACI-COAT-300®: A Risk Mitigation Strategy for Thermal Stress Breakage (ICD201)

Course Description:

This course will provide architects, specifiers, and façade consultants education about silicone-based spandrel glass coating technologies. Attendees will learn about the risks of thermal stress breakage due to ceramic frit’s weakening effects on heat-treated glass. Testing methodology and industry standards will also be addressed. Alternative coating solutions will be introduced as a strategy to reduce risk of thermally induced breakage in glass facades.  

Learning Objectives:

After completion of this course, participants will be able to understand the following:

• LO1: Aesthetic and Environmental Benefits of a Glass Facade
• LO2: What is Thermal Stress Breakage? 
• LO3: Why does Thermal Stress Breakage Occur and How Could Safety be Compromised?
• LO4: What is the Solution and How is Welfare Impacted by Material Selection?
