NSG TEC™


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

NSG TEC™ 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. 

Features & Benefits

  • Electrically conductive for heated and thermal control, electrostatic dissipation and reduced transmittance of electromagnetic radiation,
  • Colour neutral, minimizing reflected colour,
  • Excellent availability for reduced lead times and control of costs,
  • Will not change colour over time,
  • Scratch and abrasion resistant,
  • High resistance to heat (unaffected by very high processing temperature),
  • Easily fabricated durable pyrolytic surface can be handled, cut, insulated, laminated, heat-strengthened, toughened and bent,
  • Available in a variety of glass thicknesses and sheet resistances ranging from 8 ohms/sq. up to several thousand ohms/sq.
  • Large stock sizes up to 6000 x 3210 mm depending on product type and thickness.

 

Applications


NSG TEC™ 15 is the best choice for applications requiring passive condensation control and thermal performance with low-emissivity and clear colour-neutral appearance,

NSG TEC™ 7 offers the lowest resistivity value in the NSG TEC™ range. Combined with relatively low haze, it can be used for a wide range of applications,

NSG TEC™ 20, NSG TEC™ 35, NSG TEC™ 50, NSG TEC™ 70 and NSG TEC™ 250 are used in heated glass applications. Compatible with different power sources, these products combine thermal control with superior electro-optical properties,

NSG TEC™ 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.

Digital Signage


NSG TEC™ products are a perfect option for touch screen cover lites where a TCO coating is required. Our range of NSG TEC™ products provide excellent performance at a competitive price point. NSG TEC™ glass is very durable and robust.

For capacitive and resistive touch screens, a transparent conductor is needed.

NSG TEC™ products use fluorine doped tin oxide as the TCO, and offer an excellent value alternative to ITO.

NSG TEC™ products are easily fabricated, including cutting, tempering and bending.

Our range of NSG TEC™ products are available in a variety of substrates and thicknesses, including low iron and clear glass.

NSG TEC™ can be tuned to specific customer requirements.

Features: Anti-static, EMI shielding, Heated glazing, Active component of touch screens.

Applications: Digital displays, Touch screens, Digital signage.

Powered by NSG TEC™


The Powered by NSG TEC™ network is a collaborative initiative led by the NSG Group, aimed at promoting and supporting advanced glass technologies – particularly NSG TEC™, a range of conductive coated glass products used in technical and solar applications.

Concept overview

The idea behind the "Powered by NSG TEC™" network is to create a qualified ecosystem of partners who integrate NSG TEC™ glass into innovative solutions. These solutions often involve active glazing, such as heated glass, transparent power delivery systems, or energy-efficient building envelopes.

Partners' Network

  • Manufacture and process the glass to meet specific technical or architectural needs.
  • Install and support these solutions in buildings, vehicles, or other applications.
  • Ensure consistent performance and quality through collaboration with NSG Group standards.

Why it matters?

This network ensures:

  • Innovation in glass-based technologies.
  • Reliability and performance through certified partners.
  • Sustainability by enabling energy-efficient and smart building solutions.

Spectrum Calculation Program

Pilkington Spectrum is a Windows-based glass performance model which enables you to quickly and efficiently calculate key properties of a wide range of single glazing and insulating glass units. Also available as an app for mobile devices, 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.
  • Global Warming Potential (GWP), or carbon footprint.
  • Ultra violet (uv) transmittance and colour rendering index (Ra).
  • Other properties (e.g. pendulum body impact resistance, fire resistance, resistance to manual attack, etc.).
