Opaque Beauty: Specifying Ceramic Frit Alternative Coatings for Spandrel Glass
ICD High Performance Coatings manufactures paints, coatings, and chemicals. Historically, we have developed and manufactured coatings for the architectural glass markets, specifically spandrel coatings and interior wall cladding. Today, we are seen as both experts in silicone coating technology and providing coatings solutions where none previously existed. In 1986, we started with the desire to create green and healthy alternatives to glass coatings on the market, which spawned our flagship product OPACI-COAT-300®. Headquartered in Ridgefield, Washington, USA. ICD reaches customers and markets globally by working directly with customers, maintaining representation networks, and strategic manufacturing in other locations. Our products are sold to glass fabrication plants across the globe, who become part of the ICD Approved Factory Fabricator program. We also make other products for glass, as well as metals and plastics, such as polycarbonate.
