Pilkington Activ™ Blue
Pilkington Activ™ Blue is an on-line coated body-tinted, self-cleaning and medium performance solar control glass, in an attractive blue colour.
Its surface #1 self-cleaning coating has photo-catalytic and hydrophilic properties.
The unique blue colour helps to keep internal temperatures cool whilst still maintaining excellent light transmittance, low light reflection and high energy absorption.
Pilkington Activ™ Blue offers medium solar control performance helping to create a cooler internal environment which can be used all year round.
Features & Benefits
- Self-cleaning properties reduce the need for manual cleaning, saving water and eliminating potentially harmful run-off from expensive detergents, also increasing personal safety.
- Additional medium performance solar control properties, reducing solar heat entering the building, enhancing comfort and reducing the need for cooling the building.
- Attractive blue or bronze body tinted glass, perfect for roof glazing, enhancing the view from inside to outside.
- Good light transmission.
- Low exterior reflection, improving aesthetics of the building.
- Works even on cloudy days and during the night.
- Highly durable pyrolytic on-line coating that lasts the lifetime of the glass.
- Can be laminated, toughened, bent and enamelled using standard techniques.
- Can be used in its monolithic form or incorporated in insulating glass units (coating on surface #1), for instance with Pilkington K Glass™, Pilkington Energy Advantage™ or Pilkington Optitherm™ range to offer additional thermal insulation properties.
- Pilkington Activ™ Blue is available in 4 and 6 mm.
- Achieves Class A to EN1096 for coated glass.
- Achieves ASTM C 1376 standard specification.
Applications
Pilkington Activ™ Blue can be used in a variety of commercial and residential applications, including doors, windows, roof-lights and glass facades.
Specially designed for the optimum roof unit, Pilkington Activ™ Blue is perfect for use in conservatories and winter gardens.
Its self-cleaning properties make it ideal for use in hard-to-reach places that are difficult to clean.

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.).
