Pilkington OptiView™ Protect


Pilkington OptiView™ Protect is a laminated glass with anti-reflective coatings on surfaces #1 and #4 (both outer surfaces of the laminated glass), which reduces interior and exterior visible light reflectance to under 2%. As a consequence, views from both inside and outside are clear, unobscured and virtually reflection-free.

Pilkington OptiView™ Protect offers all the traditional benefits of laminated glass, such as improved safety, enhanced security, durability and acoustic properties. Furthermore, it provides protection from UV radiation (UVA and UVB) by blocking over 99% of UV transmittance, helping to reduce fading of the contents and interiors of a building.

Features & Benefits

  • Safety: Pilkington OptiView™ Protect is a laminated safety glass that performs under impact. Ordinary glass shatters into large pieces when impacted, while the laminated panes of Pilkington OptiView™ Protect resist penetration and are shatter-resistant. Even though the glass may break, the glass fragments will remain firmly bonded to the interlayer, minimizing the risk of injury.
  • Security: Pilkington OptiView™ Protect can help protect against break-ins and theft. Standard glass can be easily broken, allowing burglars easy access. The interlayers provide a safeguard against intrusion by remaining intact even when glass is broken. Pilkington OptiView™ Protect can be bulletproof and even protect against bomb blasts by using certain glazing combinations. Pilkington OptiView™ Protect can be used in place of metal bars in applications such as banks, prisons and convenient stores requiring high security.
  • Audio performance: Pilkington OptiView™ Protect provides an excellent barrier to noise. The laminated panes provide insulation against audio disturbances by dampening the sound.
  • UV Control: Its anti-reflective properties allow it to absorb UV wavelengths and reduce damage and fading caused by UV radiation.
  • Durability: Pilkington OptiView™ Protect is durable and maintain its strength and is easy to clean like ordinary glass.

Applications


With its large size capability and ability to be processed like ordinary glass,

Pilkington OptiView™ Protect is ideal for a wide range of traditional and new anti-reflective applications in which clarity of view is of paramount importance.

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.).
