To enhance manufacturing capabilities in glass recycling in Waterdown, Ontario.

Scaling of Substituting Functionalize Glass into Paints and Coatings$500Kvalue2025start2027end

Leverage knowledge gained in surface treatment of recycled soda lime glass to expand commercial effectiveness in latex paints and coatings (including white pigment enhancement) and expand to other platforms including oil-based paints, epoxy resins, silicone elastomers and acrylic adhesives. This will create a first of its kind, Canadian made, revolutionary “green” addition to traditional multi-component industrial products, used all over the world, whose producers are actively searching for environmentally friendly manufacturing materials. Opta Glass already performs proprietary and unique pr

Substituting Functionalize Glass into Paints and Coatings$75.0Kvalue2024start2026end

Develop new means to incorporate alternate materials including recycled materials in water-based paints and coatings. Some recycled materials have desirable properties compared to other natural solids used in latex paint formulations. The one limitation can be surface charge leading to paint viscosity issues. This project seeks to solve this limitation, leading to a greener paint formulation for architectural paints and coatings.
