Zircon Corporation

Incorporated in 1992, Zircon Corporation was founded by Dr. Charles Edward Bayha to market and commercialize novel and unique products developed in the research laboratories of Alpha Corporation (Alpha/Owens Corning). These products have applications in many diverse industries. Polymeric resins were developed for the ultra-violet cure coatings industry in wood, plastic, metal, and ceramic substrates. These resins offer compelling application and coatings properties, not found in conventional coatings, at highly competitive pricing. Additive agents were developed for non-aqueous air release, surface filler wet out for viscosity reduction, vapor emission reduction, and coatings leveling properties. Zircon's most ambitious program has been the development of liquid products for applications in the production of variousglass lamination processes. In 1989, Zircon, as a division of Alpha Corporation (Alpha/Owens Corning), was the first company to have the Safety Glass Certification Council approval for 16 CFR, 1201 category II impact testing for production of laminated glass using the Cold Cure Liquid Glass Lamination Process. Zircon has the only liquid resin that produces glass laminates capable of withstanding 10,000 hours in the Q.U.V. weather testing without yellowing, delamination, or clouding.
