As one of the leading glass manufacturers in Europe, Pilkington IGP in Poland, part of the global NSG Group, places high emphasis on quality and performance. During IGU production, ensuring the correct gas concentration is crucial especially when working with advanced insulating glass units. Pilkington IGP in Poland needed a fast and reliable solution to verify gas fill levels at the production stage without damaging the glass.

The solution:
To meet this need, Pilkington IGP in Poland invested in the Sparklike Laser Portable, a non-invasive device capable of measuring insulating gas concentration in double and triple glazed units, including those with coatings, laminates. Testing facility ift Rosenheim has also approved Sparklike Laser Portable’s accuracy compared to gas chromatography.

Unlike invasive testing, Sparklike Laser Portable allows Pilkington to verify gas content without breaking the seal or compromising the IGU. The device’s ability to handle complex glass structures was a key differentiator.

Key benefits realized:

Fast and accurate gas concentration measurement during production, helping to maintain high product quality.

Improved response time: If a deviation is detected, the device enables immediate verification, supporting quick decision-making.

Confidence in product compliance, reducing the risk of underfilled IGUs reaching customers.

Smooth implementation: Training by Sparklike’s local partner, Polver, was quick and effective. The intuitive interface of the device made onboarding simple for the production team.

Conclusion:
As one of the leading glass manufacturers in Europe, Pilkington IGP in Poland, part of the global NSG Group, places high emphasis on quality and performance. During IGU production, ensuring the correct gas concentration is crucial especially when working with advanced insulating glass units. Pilkington IGP in Poland needed a fast and reliable solution to verify gas fill levels at the production stage without damaging the glass.
