Saint-Gobain Glass is to launch SGG Plaintherm Total 1.3 - the first "single stock" toughenable and durable high performance low-E glass. Production of the new glass begins shortly on the UK;s first magnetron coating line, housed in a £15M facility opened in July at the site of the company's float glass plant in Eggborough. Described as a revolutionary soft coat low-E glass, SGG Plaintherm Total 1.3 is supplied in a single version that can be used in either annealed or toughened form, has a durable easy to process coating, an optimum U-value of 1.3 W.m2K and a neutral appearance in both reflection and transmission (1.3 applies to a 4-16-4 unit, argon gas filled to the 90% CE Norm, compared to the 100% figure some competitors quote in their product names).
