Pilkington Optilam™ I Colour


Pilkington Optilam™ is produced by combining two or more sheets of glass with polyvinylbutyral (PVB) interlayers. It is this lamination that enables it to offer impact protection and safety. By varying the number of layers and thickness of the glass, it can offer many benefits and be used in various applications.

Pilkington Optilam™ I Colour incorporates coloured interlayers, thus offering a wider choice of colours than body tinted glass for more design options.

Features & Benefits

  • Remains intact or breaks safely on impact to reduce the risk of serious injury,
  • Resists attack for longer as it remains bonded to the interlayer – specialist high performance security glass also available.
  • Can be used in Insulating Glass Units, for different combinations of benefits.
  • Up to Class 1(B)1 to EN 12600.
  • Wide range of colours available.
  • Reduced colour fading.
  • Interlayer colour is independent of glass thickness, allowing more design options.

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.).
