Glass Coatings

G-COAT H110

Gulbrandsen is a leading global manufacturer of hot-end glass coatings, under the brand G-COAT H110.

G-COAT H110 is Gulbrandsen’s stabilized, high-purity Monobutyltin Trichloride (MBTC) for hot-end glass coating in container and hollow glass manufacturing.

Used as a precursor for tin oxide coating, G-COAT H110 supports stronger, more durable glass surfaces across food jars, beverage bottles, pharmaceutical vials, tableware, and specialty glass containers.

Backed by decades of organotin chemistry expertise, global warehousing, and dedicated supply chains, Gulbrandsen helps glass manufacturers improve coating consistency, surface strength, and breakage prevention.

Industries and Applications
of G-COAT H110

G-COAT H110 is trusted by glass manufacturers around the world for its proven performance in hot-end coating processes. As a high-purity Monobutyltin Trichloride (MBTC) solution, it is especially suited for critical glass packaging applications where durability, safety, and compliance matter most.

Applications in Hot-End Glass Coatings

Through the thermal decomposition of MBTC, G-COAT H110 forms a thin, uniform tin oxide layer that bonds to the glass surface before the annealing process. With its consistent application, high thermal stability and low impurity profile, G-COAT H110 supports glass coating operations across a wide variety of production environments.

Benefits of G-COAT H110

MAINTAINS GLASS STRENGTH

The tin oxide layer preserves structural integrity achieved during forming, reducing breakage throughout transport, filling and high-speed handling on production lines.

IMPROVES SURFACE DURABILITY

Tin oxide enhances scratch resistance during high-speed handling, significantly extending the useful life and visual quality of glass containers in distribution.

ENABLES LIGHTWEIGHTING

G-COAT H110 allows manufacturers to reduce glass weight per unit, cutting raw material use and carbon emissions across large-volume production.

ACTS AS A PRIMER LAYER

The MBTC-derived tin oxide layer anchors cold-end coatings, typically polyethylene wax, improving lubricity, scratch resistance and label adhesion on finished containers.
