Self Cleaning Glass Detector - RD1350

Self Cleaning Coating Detector

The RD1350 is capable of identifying the presence and location of SELF-CLEAN coatings that are photocatalytic with hydrophilic properties. The meter uses state of the art technology coupled with microprocessor control to achieve an EASY-TO-USE hand held meter. The tool is powered by a 9 volt alkaline battery (included).

Photocatalytic coatings should be placed on the exterior surface of a window. The photocatalytic coating uses the sun’s UV light to gradually break down, loosen and dissolve dirt and soil. The coating effectively vaporizes dirt that is on the surface of the glass.

The hydrophilic properties of the coating prevent water from beading when it hits the surface of the glass. Therefore the water has a sheeting effect when it contacts the glass surface. The sheeting effect allows water to carry dirt away from the surface, and prevent the window from streaking or allowing water spots to occur.

The RD1350 meter has been specifically calibrated to detect the presence of the self clean coatings from Pilkington and PPG.  If you would like to test other self-clean coatings, please contact one of our sales representatives to discuss your application.
