Pilkington Activ™ - Product Combinations

Pilkington Activ™ can be incorporated into Insulating Glass Units, such as Pilkington Insulight™, with Pilkington K Glass™ or Pilkington Optitherm™ SN as the inner pane.
If it is necessary to have another glass as the inner pane of the insulating glass unit then Pilkington Activ Optitherm™ SN is also available, a dual coated product with Pilkington Optitherm™ SN on the reverse side to Pilkington Activ™.

Pilkington Activ Suncool™ HP 50/30 or Pilkington Activ Suncool™ HP 53/40 can be incorporated into an Insulating Glass Unit. These are again dual coated products, with Pilkington Suncool™ on the reverse side to Pilkington Activ™.
Solar control products are also available in laminated form, either using tinted PVB interlayers or tinted glass laminated to Pilkington Activ™.

In toughened form Pilkington Activ™ is up to five times stronger than ordinary glass. It achieves Class A impact safety performance to BS 6206, and if it does break it does so safely into small, blunt edged pieces, reducing the risk of personal injury.
Pilkington Activ™ can also be laminated, i.e. combined with another glass product with PVB interlayers to produce a range of properties. The majority of laminated products (those of 6.4mm thickness and greater) provide at least BS 6206 Class B performance against risk of accidental injury.

Pilkington Activ Stippolyte™ laminated glass can be produced combining Pilkington Activ™ and Pilkington Stippolyte™ - one of the Pilkington Texture Glass range. This could be incorporated with Pilkington K Glass™ in an insulating glass unit for use in areas which require obscuration and a low emissivity glass in order to meet Part L.
For a coloured effect, Pilkington Activ™ can also be combined in a laminted glass using either tinted interlayers or tinted glass.
