Flat and bent ROBAX® can also be supplied decorated. You can choose from the
following colors:
3.3 Decoration
Logo decoration should always be located on the inside of curved ROBAX® panels
or on the outside of the panel for angular bent panels.
The properties and durability of the decorations are adjusted to the practical
usage requirements for ROBAX® vision windows in stoves and room heaters.

ROBAX® IR is manufactured on the basis of flat ROBAX® panels. The application
of oxydic, electrically conductive coatings to one side of the glass results in the
infrared portion of the radiation (and thus the thermal radiation) being largely
reflected. Light can penetrate the panel, while a protective shield is formed
against excessive heat. As a material resistant to high temperatures, ROBAX® IR
is also particularly well-suited for application areas in which good transparency
and in particular reduced thermal radiation through the panel are required. And
the coated glass ceramic offers other positive effects as well:
• In some stoves and room heaters, ROBAX® IR can contribute to reduction
in the sooting of the panels by smoke and flue gases. In this case, the panel
should be fitted with the coating on the outside (i.e. away from the heat
source).
• Tests have shown that ROBAX® IR can also contribute to better combustion
and therefore to reduced emission values. Here the panel can be fitted on
both the fire side and the side away from the fire.
• The use of ROBAX® IR always makes heating with fire safer because as the
panel transmits less heat, the floor temperature in the front of the roomheating
appliance is lower as well. To maximize this effect, the coating should
be fitted on the fire side.
The first two effects cited above depend very much on the design of the stove
in question and the way it is used. They therefore cannot be guaranteed.
Accordingly, we strongly recommend that ROBAX® IR be tested as regards the
particular effect required before any serial production is undertaken.
Unlike all other ROBAX® products (see point 4.3), ROBAX® IR exhibits lower
operating temperatures as a result of the coating:
for short-term usage (total < 100 h): Tmax = 550 °C
for long-term usage (total 100 h to 10 000 h): Tmax = 500 °C

We will be glad to provide you with information on other coatings, such as
mirror coatings or anti-reflective coatings, on request.
