C-Bond Systems
WHAT IS C-BOND
C-Bond is a patented, non-toxic, water based ‘green’ nanotechnology window film application solution designed to significantly increase glass strength, enhance glass flexibility and increase the adhesion of window film to glass products.
C-Bond can be added as an optional upgrade to any of T&T Tinting’s Automotive, Residential, Commercial, Security and Glass Graphic Films to increase the security performance of all types of glass. Ask for C-Bond exclusively at T&T Tinting in Hawaii.
HOW DOES C-BOND WORK?
The C-Bond technology works as a “smart solution”. It enables ordinary glass to dissipate energy by identifying random microscopic defects that are a natural part of every glass surface. C-Bond then works to repair the identified surface imperfections that weaken the glass composite structure and ultimately act as failure initiators. C-Bond also improves the performance of window film products by significantly enhancing the adhesion of film-to-glass products, so that in case of impact, no large pieces will escape the immediate area of the glass surface resulting in serious laceration and/or life threatening injury. The C-Bond formula is engineered to always maintain original glass design integrity while increasing the performance properties of glass and window film products.
THE SCIENCE BEHIND C-BOND
C-Bond was developed at Rice University, recipient of the Nobel Prize for Nanoscience research and home to the Smalley Institute of Nanoscale Science & Technology and is a direct result of nanotechnology engineering. C-Bond Systems partners and works with the most highly regarded specialty institutions and highly qualified subject matter experts in the glass, window film, and nanotechnology industries.
RESEARCH & DEVELOPMENT
C-Bond is a multi-generational technology supported by 23 patents spanning core and strategic Nano-technology applications and processes. C-Bond has been tested by leading independent laboratories in accordance with government, industry and law enforcement standards and validated to significantly improve the performance properties of glass and window film products.
