Low Iron OptiWhite®

Pilkington Optiwhite™ is an extra clear low-iron float glass design for a wide range of applications that require high light transmission, almost colorless aesthetic for purity of colors viewed through the glass, and neutral edge color.

Features

VISUAL EFFECT

Optiwhite™ is produced using carefully selected raw materials with a naturally low iron content that eliminates the green hue and dark green edges apparent in traditional clear float glass.

BENEFITS

High light transmission 90-91% based on glass thickness

Visual clarity

Truer color rendering when viewing through the glass

High solar heat transmittance

Flexibility of design application

Can be used as glass substrate for low-emissivity coatings, back-painting, digital imaging, and etching

Can be used monolithically, or as part of an insulating glass unit

APPLICATIONS

Extra clear, low-iron glass is ideal for any commercial or residential glazing application desiring a truer representation of items viewed through the glass, and to maximize visible light transmission. Glass entrance systems, handrails, shower enclosures, glass partitions, display cases and tabletops are enhanced with low-iron glass.
