In the demanding world of glass manufacturing, surface protection starts at the hot end. That’s where G-COAT H110 comes in — Gulbrandsen’s premium tin-based hot end coating solution designed for consistent performance, exceptional purity, and long-term durability.
Used by leading container glass producers, G-COAT H110 applies a thin, uniform layer of tin oxide to the surface of hot glass, forming the essential base for cold end coatings. The result: improved scratch resistance, higher line efficiency, and stronger, longer-lasting glass.
G-COAT H110 is a stabilized high-purity Monobutyltin Trichloride (MBTC), engineered to meet the most stringent manufacturing and food-contact standards. Our double-distillation process removes harmful by-products like DBTC and TBT, ensuring one of the cleanest and most reliable coatings in the industry.
We back our chemistry with robust service. From tailored support with employee training to safety and efficiency audits, Gulbrandsen brings decades of experience to every partnership. With global warehousing and a dedicated Global supply chain, G-COAT H110 is readily available to support your production needs.
Whether you’re looking to increase bottle strength, optimize your coating process, or ensure food-contact compliance — G-COAT H110 is your solution.
