Seminar: Research on applying glass glue in buildings, high-rises and architecture with climate-specific characteristics in Vietnam

On October 18, 2017, at Viglacera Corporation, Viglacera cooperated with Innovent Research Institute (Federal Republic of Germany) to organize a workshop on glass glue in architectural glass. High-grade architecture and architecture in Vietnam. Attending the seminar were experts from the University of science and technology, National University of Civil Engineering, the Institute of Science from Germany and the Institute of Applied Materials Research in Vietnam.

Overview of the seminar held in Viglacera.

With the goal of sharing detailed information about the components of glass glue research, the specific type of glue is not mass produced but only concentrates for construction at fixed. German experts such as Innovent Research Institute, Building Glass Materials Research Institute, TU Dresden University, Weimar Institute of Applied Construction Research Institute, AIS Industrial Construction and Services Company Kursawe, Kemberg has presented details of production technology, construction technology and application of this particular type of glue to the actual construction. Experts have come up with nanoparticle treatment options to function the adhesion process; Fixed point development on glass, adhesive technology, numerical simulation control; durability studies and multifunctional climate simulation; Development of fixed point fixing devices on the glass surface while listening to Vietnamese experts sharing experiences on studying the impact of the tropical environment on the surface of the building. From there, we have developed action plans and collaborated with Viglacera and other local universities.

Mr. Nguyen Anh Tuan - General Director of Viglacera Corporation said at the seminar.

Speaking at the workshop, General Director Nguyen Anh Tuan highly appreciated the potential of new glass glue application when the the glass’s demand is increasing, and predicted to increase next time. As the largest building glass manufacturer in Vietnam, Viglacera has owned and co-owned 03 glass mills which are operating very effectively, Viglacera has been in the joint venture to build new factories such as Phu My Super White Glass, also invest in the production of energy saving glasses at the Energy Saving Glass Factory with the technology of Von Ardene (Federal Republic of Germany) in Binh Duong and ready to cooperate with partners from Germany to develop the production of glue Glass to complete the process from Glass Construction, Glass Energy saving and construction solutions. Viglacera expects all partner will commit to accelerate the project implementation process as Viglacera is now fully qualified in terms of capacity, level, availability and finance to be ready to partner with. Partners to implement the project to put this particular type of glue into production. In addition, Viglacera also proposed the German partner to expand the research into the application of special glue to other areas of production of Viglacera as applied in the production of bathroom equipment, installation of sanitary equipment, brake pads,…

Also at the workshop, Dr. Bernd Gruenler, Managing Director of Innovent Research Institute, gighly appreciate Viglacera's ability and determination. The cooperation between Innovent and Viglacera will open the opportunity for Vietnamese experts to learn about the typical tropical climate of Vietnam, the changes in the temperature of the seasons, the technologies of glue applied. as well as the opportunity to evaluate the market and express the expectation that the project will soon be implemented.

In the afternoon, specialists from Germany visit architectural works using Viglacera's Glass and Viglacera companies. The parties also agreed on the contents of the cooperation and jointly signed the memorandum of understanding on progress to implement the project soon in Vietnam.

Signing the agreement to implement the project in Vietnam.
