Low iron NSG TEC™ Sodium Block is used as substrate for solar mirrors in concentrated solar power applications. The sodium barrier layer offers improved product shelf-life and durability and can offer solar mirror manufacturers improved stability. The properties of our main NSG TEC™ products are summarised in the table below:

NSG TEC™ offers a wide variety of thermal and heated glass performance properties, whilst increasing light transmittance and optimizing electrical conductivity. The products are specifically tuned to meet the requirements of a wide range of applications.

Our range of solar glass products includes NSG TEC™, Pilkington Optiwhite™, and Pilkington Sunplus™. Each of our solar glass solutions are optimised to suit specific technologies, making NSG the ideal provider of glass to solar energy technology manufacturers.

NSG TEC™ can be used with a number of thin film photovoltaic technologies, including amorphous silicon (a-Si), tandem (a-Si/μ-Si) – a combination of amorphous and microcrystalline silicon, cadmium telluride (CdTe), copper indium (gallium) diselenide (CIS, CIGS) and dye-sensitised solar cells (DSSC).

NSG TEC™ - a range of low-emissivity glasses with a pyrolytic on-line electric conductive coating of special qualities. NSG UFF™ Ultra thin glass for digital displays.

Pilkington High Performance Tint is a range of uncoated body-tinted solar control glasses, with low light reflection and high energy absorption. The products are particularly suitable for applications that demand solar control without the use of surface coating, for residential or commercial applications.

As the name implies, a pyrolytic glass is one where the coating is chemically-bonded to the glass at the molecular level while it is still in the semi-molten stage by a process we call "Chemical Vapor Deposition."
