liquid glass

Pourable transparent material

Liquid glass refers to molten glass before it cools and hardens, or to silicone-based coatings that dry into an invisible protective layer: The artisan shaped the liquid glass into a vase.

As a coating product, liquid glass creates a thin, flexible barrier on surfaces like phone screens or car paint, repelling water and resisting scratches.
