Hi All added coe of Imera
If I have made error please tell
Changed all coe to 10 - 7
desag 75 is now Magera ( in USA its GNA )
unfortunately and this is BAD Magira GNA and Artista has the same pattern a very slight sort of wavy brushed pattern
Why they have not distinguished them is beyond me but then what do I know
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Further to the information that you sent to me from the web-site and our subsequent telephone conversations I am pleased to forward the details that Schott Desag have responded with.
Co-efficient of expansions
Imera 90 - 96 a flat float type glass which is available in 9 colours but is not made compatable
Antique 75 Sold before 1990 90-96*10-7K-1
Magira 90-96*10-7K-1
Artista 94*10-7K1
"Artista is a closer specified version of Magira. This closer specification guarantees the fuseability of the Artista colours with each other.
Antique 75 is the old name of Magira. It was/is never made to be compatible.
When people succeed in fusing some Magira colours it happens because they have made test and the coefficient was coincidentally the same.
The name of Magira in USA is GNA - German New Antique"
I do hope this addresses the main questions.
