Corning® Gorilla® Glass and Krystal(TM) Glass Writing Boards Deliver Creative Approach to Markerboard Market
03 Setembro 2013 - 9:00AM
CORNING, N.Y., September 3,
2013 - Corning Incorporated (NYSE:GLW) announced
plans to collaborate with Krystal(TM) Glass Writing Boards on a new
approach to traditional markerboard designs and configurations.
Industry leading Corning®
Gorilla® Glass, known
for its thin, durable, and scratch-resistant surface, is now
delivering its unique qualities to the markerboard market. Gorilla
Glass not only helps address the markerboard issue of ghosting or
double imaging - often seen in thicker glass board products - but
also provides mounting and installation cost savings, and expanded
design options.
"Gorilla Glass is the ideal solution for solving
issues end users have had with markerboards for years," said
Charlie Baker, chief executive officer of Krystal Glass Writing
Boards. "Melamine and porcelain whiteboards are typically replaced
every three to five years due to stains and damage issues. We have
found that Gorilla Glass is stain-resistant and exceptionally
durable, increasing the life span of boards versus those using
traditional materials. Additionally, Gorilla Glass brings new
design and configuration options that have not previously been
available to our market."
"We believe these markets are looking for a new
solution that can deliver improved functionality with an aesthetic
appeal that is retained even with prolonged use," said David
Loeber, Corning Large Cover Glass business director. "Gorilla Glass
retains its damage resistance despite its thin form factor and
offers customers enhanced optical clarity over traditional glass
markerboards for an improved viewing experience. Corning is pleased
to work with Krystal to deliver these benefits to end users."
