Pilkington Activ™ Glass The world's first self-cleaning glass

Pilkington Activ™ Blue Self-cleaning Solar Control Glass The Activ coating contains microcrystalline titanium dioxide. When the sun shines on the window the UV rays trigger a chemical reaction in the Activ coating (a photocatalytic process) which breaks down the dirt. When water hits glass, a hydrophilic effect is created and the water spreads evenly over the surface, instead of droplets, so runs off and takes dirt with it .

This attractive blue glass combines dual-action, self-cleaning properties with solar control performance for a cooler internal environment. Specially designed for the optimum roof unit, Pilkington Activ™ Blue is a revolutionary new glass that is perfect for use in conservatories. It uses daylight and rainwater to breakdown and wash away organic dirt from exterior surfaces, making it ideal for hard to reach places that are difficult to clean. Its unique blue colour also helps keep internal temperatures cool whilst still maintaining excellent light transmittance.

For optimum self-cleaning and thermal performance, combine Pilkington Activ™ Blue with Pilkington K Glass™ or Pilkington Optitherm™ SN in an Insulating Glass Unit.
