Anti-Corrosive
Glass
Clean & Pristine for
a Lifetime
HydroClear™ is a coated glass product developed to protect the surface of the glass by preventing corrosion due to contaminants related to water, heat and high humidity.

Over time, surface corrosion caused by this exposure can essentially “age” the glass, resulting in a dull and dirty appearance that worsens the longer the exposure exists.
This anti-corrosion solution is also ideal for shower glass doors. Now available with Purevision® low-iron glass.
With Ordinary Glass,
Cleaning Alone Won’t Work.

As glass is made from sand, it contains sodium in large quantities. When water enters in contact with sodium it progressively damages.

With Cardinal HydroClear, a permanent coating is applied to the glass to protect the surface against this corrosion.

HydroClear and clear float glass were tested at high temperatures and high humidity to simulate regular use in a shower enclosure for 20 years. Unlike the clear float glass, HydroClear showed no signs of corrosion.
