Solarban R100 glass approved for laminated applications

Officials at PPG Industries, Pittsburgh,announced that Solarban R100 glass has been approved for lamination with select interlayer and film materials such asSaflex and Vanceva by Solutia Inc., St. Louis, andButacite and Sentryglas by DuPont, Wilmington, Del., according to a Dec. 9 release.

Solarban R100 glass is a neutral-reflective, solar-control, low-emissivity architectural glass. It is well-suited to privacy glass applications because of its neutral-reflective appearance,and harmonizes well with spandrels and other building materials. The glass features a light-to-solar-gain ratio of 1.79 that is up to 29 percent better than competing products and can help building owners reduce the amount of energy they use for heating, cooling and artificial lighting.
