PROJECTS
Glafo is working on tailored
projects with our guarantors in the business of art glass, crystal glass,
tableware glass, fibre glass, flat glass and container glass.
General direction and results are shown in reports, journals and as
lectures at, for example the meetings of NGF.
Some of the results has been published in the journal Glasteknisk
tidskrift.
Detailed results are only reported to the member
companies, that participate in the projects. The activities are
almost always related to development projects where the results are
to be used in the production process of the glass industry. Many projects
concern environmental aspects and/or quality. The results could for
example lead to less environmental impact and/or a better yield in the
industrial processes.
