Many Industries Benefit From EGP’s Patented Technology
EGP holds seven patents for heated glass technology that are having a dramatic impact on product design in a variety of fields, including mirror manufacturing, appliances (heated glass for ovens, refrigerators, etc.), boating (improved windshields) and many more.
EGP Patent # 6,024,084
Heat-reflective Glass for Ovens
This patent describes how to manufacture a double-paned glass unit with an infrared-reflective coating on both panes. This allows visibility into a domestic oven without allowing heat to escape.

EGP Patent # 6,171,646
Manufacturing Abrasion- and Scratch-resistant Coated Glass
This patent describes how to polish glass coated with tin oxide before applying a coating of polymeric material. The result is a greatly improved resistance to abrasions and scratching, which is particularly advantageous in automotive, architectural, bar code scanner applications.

EGP Patent # 6,647,914
An Improved Watercraft Windshield
This patent describes how to manufacture a windshield with more curves, greater strength, and better safety than previously available on watercraft. The molded, flexible polymeric frame is much simpler and less expensive than a traditional, inflexible metal frame; it is also safer for the occupants and less stressful to the material.

Pilkington Patent # 6,144,017
Automatic Controls for Heating Glass in Refrigerators and Freezers
This patent describes how to incorporate an optical sensor into the heated glass door of a refrigerator or freezer so that the heating mechanism is triggered whenever condensation or frost begins to form.
