Solarban® 67 glass is the newest addition to the Solarban® family of products, and represents a completely new vision in transparent, solar control low-e glasses. Featuring a soft, neutral coating, Solarban® 67 glass provides excellent solar control performance that transmits and reflects colors with remarkably crisp fidelity.
Engineered with a proprietary double-silver, magnetron-sputtered vacuum deposition (MSVD) coating developed by Vitro Architectural Glass (formerly PPG glass), Solarban® 67 glass accurately transmits and reflects the tone and brightness of ambient light and color. The crispness and clarity of Solarban® 67 glass is further enhanced by its low interior and exterior reflectivity of 16 and 19 percent, respectively.
Solarban® 67 glass delivers proven solar control performance that exceeds that which is typically associated with such high levels of transparency. In a standard 1-inch insulating glass unit (IGU) with conventional clear glass, Solarban® 67 glass offers visible light transmittance (VLT) of 54 percent and a solar heat gain coefficient (SHGC) of 0.29, yielding a light-to-solar gain (LSG) ratio of 1.85.
While clear glass is the standard offering, Solarban® 67 glass also can be specified with blue, green and earth-toned glasses, such as Atlantica®, Azuria®, Optiblue®, Pacifica®, Solarblue® or Solargray® glasses, on the second or third surface of an IGU. When paired with Solarban® 67 glass in an IGU, these tinted glasses offer SHGCs that range from 0.19 to 0.34 and VLTs of up to 42 percent.
Vitro Architectural Glass (formerly PPG Glass), North America's largest glass producer, is exclusively dedicated to glass innovation and fueled by the same people, plants and products that made PPG Glass one of the industry's most respected and reliable commercial glass manufacturers. According to a recent study conducted by Dodge Data Analytics, Vitro Glass products are the most commonly specified brand of commercial glass in the industry.
Now operating under a global company exclusively committed to growing its core glass business, architects can expect accelerated research and development efforts in addition to greater capacity in years to come.
