Pilkington Activ™: Technical Tips Under normal circumstances, the dual action coating on Pilkington Activ™ destroys organic contaminants on the surface of the glass and increases the water sheeting effect. This allows dirt to be washed away easily from the surface and greatly reduces the need for manual cleaning.

The unique dual-action of the Pilkington Activ™ coating uses the forces of nature to help keep the glass free from dirt, giving not only the practical benefit of less cleaning, but also clearer, better-looking windows. How it works The unique dual-action self-cleaning coating is located on the external glass pane.

These are defined as follows: Reflectance – the proportion of solar radiation reflected back into the atmosphere. Direct transmittance – the proportion of solar radiation transmitted directly through the glass. Absorptance – the proportion of solar radiation absorbed by the glass.
