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 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.).
