Globar® Glass Seal

Globar® Glass Seal is a high-performance protective solution designed to extend the life of silicon carbide (SiC) heating elements, specifically in harsh industrial environments. This advanced glass seal is particularly effective in corrosive atmospheres or those with high moisture content, such as glass production, electronics manufacturing, and precious metals processing.

The protective seal dramatically increases the lifespan of heating elements, lasting up to three times longer than unprotected elements. This reduces the need for maintenance and replacement, significantly minimizing furnace downtime and lowering manufacturing costs. The seal helps maintain temperature uniformity over long periods, improving product quality and process stability, and leading to increased overall equipment effectiveness.
