Pilkington Optiwhite™


Pilkington Optiwhite™ is an extra clear, low-iron glass with very high light transmission.

It is practically colourless, and the green cast inherent to other glasses is not present. It is therefore ideal for use where glass edges are visible or where a neutral colour is desired. As its light transmission is higher than clear float glass, it is perfect for applications where transparency and purity of colour are desired.

Low-iron glass is made using carefully selected raw materials with a naturally low iron content. The melting process is tightly controlled to ensure that the product properties remain consistent, making Pilkington Optiwhite™ the leading low-iron glass on the market. 

Features & Benefits

  • High light transmission for outstanding visual clarity when an unrestricted view is required.
  • Purity of colour with minimum colour cast when viewing through the glass, ensuring a truer representation of the designer’s vision.
  • High solar heat transmittance providing passive solar gain to allow more heat through, which can save costs on energy bills during the winter.
  • Flexibility of application.
  • Can be toughened or laminated for safety and security.
  • Can be combined with other products from the Pilkington Glass Range to provide additional benefits.
  • Available in thicknesses between 2 mm and 19 mm, the widest range on the market.

 

Applications


The use of glass in architecture and design is becoming more and more prevalent, and Pilkington Optiwhite™ is at the very forefront of making it possible.

The reason for this is the sheer variety of benefits which Pilkington Optiwhite™ can offer, making it an excellent choice for a wide range of applications.

Available in thicknesses between 2 mm and 19 mm, the widest range on the market, Pilkington Optiwhite™ provides increased design flexibility. When combined with other Pilkington glass products, it can offer additional benefits such as thermal insulation or self-cleaning. We have been producing the Pilkington Optiwhite™ Range for over twenty-five years with high consistency and quality, making this low-iron, extra clear glass highly valued by our customers whether as exterior or interior glazing, furniture or a wide range of other applications.

Digital Signage Applications


Pilkington Optiwhite™ offers a variety of benefits for touch screen and digital signage applications. Pilkington Optiwhite™ is an extra-clear, low-iron float glass; it is practically colourless, and the green cast inherent to other clear glasses is not present. It is perfect for applications where transparency and purity of colour are desired.

When combined with other Pilkington glass products, it can offer additional benefits such as anti-reflective or conductivity.

Typical applications include:

  • Digital displays
  • Touch screens
  • Digital signage

The glass comes with all the reassurance of not only being a market-leading product in its own right, but of bearing the market-leading Pilkington brand, and with the unrivalled support you would expect from our brand.

Spectrum Calculation Program

Pilkington Spectrum is a Windows-based glass performance model which enables you to quickly and efficiently calculate key properties of insulating glass units without the need to construct and measure them. You can use Pilkington Spectrum to provide the following information:

  • Light and solar properties (transmittance, reflectance, absorptance, g value, etc.).
  • Centre pane Ug-value.
  • Sound insulation values.
  • Ultra violet (uv) transmittance and colour rendering index (Ra).
  • Other properties (e.g. pendulum body impact resistance, fire resistance, resistance to manual attack, etc.).
