Lacquered Glass
Radhika Lacquered Glass is made by the top quality clear float or ultra clear float glass, through depositing a highly durable and resistant lacquer onto the flat and smooth surface of glass, then by carefully baking into the furnace which is constant temperature, permanently bonding the lacquer onto the glass. Lacquered Glass has all the features of the original float glass, but also supplies wonderful opaque and colourful decorative application.
A proprietary, state of art paint technology is used to manufacture and fabricate Radhika lacquered glasses in limitless color options using a heat cured single component aquabased system. Size ranging from 12'' x 12'' to 84'' x 144'' are possible, with reproducible color consistency from the first piece to the last piece.

Colours
- There are 40 brilliant shades of annealed and tempered lacquered glass available in our running production, but the color options are virtually unlimited
- All RAL, NCS shades are possible using our computerized intermix color system. These customized RAL, NCS shades are available for a minimum quantity of only 100 square meters. These color options allow architects and specifies maximum flexibility for their projects
Process
Lacquered glass making process is unique in its nature. Lacquered glass is made by the top quality clear float or ultra clear float glass, to achieve the perfect shade as you specify. We then clean each sheet of glass to mirror-quality specifications through our auto ''WASHING LINE'', which is the highest standard in the industry.
- The custom-mixed color is applied to the second surface (the back) of the glass in a controlled, uniform thickness without any messy foreign particles. Due to our computerized color-mixing system, color results are accurate and repeatable, days, weeks or years into the future. The color is also checked for accuracy with a state-of-the-art spectrometer
- Radhika Glass, heat cures the paint layer through carefully monitored coaters & ovens to allow the paint to cure strong, without becoming brittle. This is important for the fabrication step of cutting and edging, because if the paint is too brittle, it will chip along a cut and leave a ragged edge. A little flexibility in the final product allows the cut to be clean. However, a coating that is too flexible can peel off, so there's a true science in coating-to-glass technology that we take very seriously in achieving the fine balance
- The color layer is protected with an extremely durable backing paint layer that not only protects the color layer from scratches during handling, but also adds to the opacity of the color - so that no mastics or wall flaws show through the front of the the installation. This two-coat process is unique to the industry and keeps the color safe from harm after it leaves our factory
- The last step involves heat-curing both the color layer and the backing paint layer together. This creates a bond that makes the entire process final. Radhika Glass cuts clean and remains stable throughout the life of the product. This final heat-curing step also burns off any remaining VOCs from the product so that outgassing at the final destination is eliminated. Starlac Glass Pvt Ltd continually tests product to ensure that the quality is to the standard we expect
- Our single component, heat-cured process is what separates our coatings from all the rest with an exceptionally high-quality, durable, and stable product
