SunCleanTM Self-Cleaning Windows
SunCleanTM Self-Cleaning glass is a coated glass product that has both photocatalytic and hydrophilic properties. Together, these properties make windows easier to clean. A durable, transparent coating is applied to hot glass during the formation process making it an integral part of the outer surface of SunCleanTM Self-Cleaning Glass
Because of the coating's photocatalytic property, it is energized by UV rays to help slowly break down and loosen organic dirt. Because of its hydrophilic property, water sheets evenly over the glass surface, instead of beading. This sheeting action helps flush the surface clean and accelerates drying to minimize spotting and streaking.
SunClean Self-Cleaning Glass is available to makers of wood, vinyl, and aluminum windows. For easier maintenance plus energy efficiency, SunClean glass can be used in conjunction with Solarban 70XL glass by PPG, the industry's most advanced Solar Control Low Glass, or other energy-saving glass products such as Solarban® 60 Solar Control Low-E Glass or Sungate® Low-E Glass.
