There are advantages and disadvantages to each coating method. Pyrolitic coatings are readily available and more durable than MSVD coatings. Pyrolitic products are more easily fabricated; including cutting and tempering. MSVD products have a limited shelf life and the coating is more easily damaged. More care must be taken during the cutting, tempering, and insulating steps. MSVD products cannot be bent and they must typically be fabricated into an insulated unit. However, MSVD products offer greater design flexibility due to a wider selection of substrates, coating and densities. Additionally, MSVD products offer a higher level of performance.
