DESCRIPTION:NSG group is one of the largest manufacturers of glass and gl
 azing materials for architectural\, automotive and technical markets wor
 ldwide. NSG came to UK market by acquiring Pilkington glass in 1991\, Pi
 lkington then being the established know-how \nflat glass manufacturer f
 amous all over UK and European markets. \n\nNowadays\, glass application
 s worldwide go well beyond the architectural and automotive markets. The
 re are such applications as displays\, information devices\, batteries\,
  timing belts\, coatings and even cosmetics. These applications require 
 \ntechnical know-how and glass is being transformed into various shapes 
 and morphologies to suit the customer needs.\n\nGlass cord is the glass 
 in the shape of string and is used in the camshaft belts for reinforceme
 nt. This application has been recognised by the Queen’s award in 2014 fo
 r the innovation of the year in UK.\n\nGlass flake has been introduced t
 o the market in 1969 for an application in anti-corrosion coating and po
 lymers reinforcement. Today\, 50 years later\, this material still did n
 ot find an alternative replacement and is widely used by many industries
 .\nPigment and substrate applications are relatively new applications of
  glass flake. With the applied wet chemistry process\, the flat particle
 s of glass become reflective to light and exhibit brilliance and sparkle
  effects\, which are much appreciated by \ncosmetic and automotive paint
  industries.\n
