TRANSPARENT ULTRA WHITE GLASS (EXTRA CLEAR, ULTRA CLEAR, EXTRA CHIARO)

ΠΕΡΙΓΡΑΦΗ

The common transparent glass has a light green tint. This tint is more obvious when looking through several panes in a row (laminated) or even more so when looking at a pane from the side. This phenomenon is due to the iron content of the sand (the raw material for glass production).

The fact that this natural glass tint is in many cases undesirable has led glass technology to find ways to create a new kind of super-white glass.

It is a transparent glass where the original iron oxide content of the sand from which it is produced has been artificially reduced by up to 90%.

The result is a glass pane, which is free of the usual green tint and in addition shows extremely increased light and energy transmittance.

Low iron glass is an extremely transparent, low iron glass, also known as extra clear or ultra clear glass.

DIFFERENCES BETWEEN COMMON (WHITE) & ULTRA-WHITE GLASS

  • Low-iron glass or ultra-white glass has a significantly lower chance of auto cracking when subjected to the heat treatment process.
  • The ultra-white glass pane has a very clear color.
  • Ultra-white glass has higher light transmittance & higher solar factor compared to white glass.
  • Ultra-white glass has a lower transmittance to ultraviolet (UV) radiation.
  • The process of producing ultra-white glass is much more difficult than that of transparent glass, due to the strict selection of raw materials and the requirement of cutting-edge technologies.

A table of the differences described is given below:

Glass pane description Light transmittance Solar factor Shading factor
4mm Clear Glass 90 0.99 0.86
4mm extra clear  Glass 91.4 1.05 0.91
8mm Clear Glass 89 0.95 0.83
8mm extra clear Glass 90.89 1.02 0.89
12 mm Clear Glass 87 0.91 0.79
12mm extra clear Glass 90.44 1.01 0.88
