Maxblue also has a product known as “warm edge technology” which employs a low thermal conductivity integrated “super-spacer” at the edge of the glass unit. Typically, most glass units transfer energy most rapidly through conductivity at the frame edges. The treatment reduces energy and helps to maintain the desired temperature of the room.

ClearVue Technologies global CEO Martin Deil said: “We are excited to solidify and expand our partnership with Maxblue, a company we have collaborated with for a long time. Maxblue has been instrumental in refining the manufacturing process for our Generation 2 solar glass units. They played a crucial role in producing testing units, developing our flash tester, and integrating it into the production line. Their advice on the manufacturing process has been invaluable. Maxblue is recognised as one of the leading glass and IGU manufacturers in China.”

MaxBlue’s advanced production facilities include a fully automated super spacer IGU fabrication line and an automated lamination processing line.

Maxblue’s director Po (Paul) Chen said “In today’s world, decarbonizing is crucial, and products like ClearVue’s solar glass are at the forefront of this movement. We are proud to be part of this journey, providing this cutting-edge technology to projects around the globe.”

ClearVue says the partnership with Maxblue will give it the necessary fabrication support when needed, particularly when its licensees require extra assistance with specific projects.

Maxblue is headquartered in Shanghai with production facilities in the Haimen Economic Development Zone in Nantong City, Jiangsu Province, China.

The product and technological synergies between both ClearVue and Maxblue are apparent and the signing of a Chinese factory with scalability just might be the missing link that ClearVue needs to take its product to market.
