Pilkington TEC Glass™

Overview

A range of low-emissivity glasses with a pyrolytic on-line electric conductive coating of special qualities. Pilkington TEC Glass™ offers a wide variety of thermal and heated glass performance properties, while increasing light transmittance and optimizing electrical conductivity. The products are specifically tuned to meet the requirements of a wide range of applications.

For Photovoltaic applications, see our NSG TEC™ range.

Applications

Pilkington TEC Glass™ meets the requirements of a wide range of applications, such as heated glass for commercial refrigeration, heat reflecting, electrochromics, appliance glass, computer screens, touch screens, static control, thin film photovoltaics, EMI/RFI shielding or other electro-optical and insulating applications.

There are a variety of Pilkington TEC Glass™ products to meet your specific needs, including: 

• Pilkington TEC Glass™ 15 is the best choice for applications requiring passive condensation control and thermal performance with low-emissivity and clear color-neutral appearance.
• Pilkington TEC Glass™ 7 offers the lowest resistivity value in the
  Pilkington TEC Glass™ range. Combined with relatively low haze, it can be used for a wide range of applications.
• Pilkington TEC Glass™ 35, Pilkington TEC Glass™ 50, Pilkington TEC Glass™ 70 and Pilkington TEC Glass™ 250 are used in heated glass applications. Compatible with different power sources, these products combine thermal control with superior electro-optical properties.
• Pilkington TEC Glass™ SB, is used as a substrate for off-line coated glasses. Provides a barrier layer to prevent sodium migration into the deposited film, particularly at elevated temperatures, leaving the performance of the off-line coating unaffected.
