Extend life of coating Glass flakes dispersed through the coating prevent the ingress of water vapour and chemical solutions.	Prevention of cracking and peeling Glass flakes provide a thermal stabilisation layer in the protective coating and greatly reduces the risk of cracking and peeling of the coating due to thermal shock.
Improved wear resistance Glass flakes increase the hardness of epoxy and polyester resin coatings,giving higher resistance to surface wear.	Chemical resistance. C glass has greater resistanceto chemical attack, compared to other types of glass
