Soft Coating Low-E

The coating is applied off-line to pre-cut glass in a vacuum chamber at room temperature. This coating, sometimes referred to as a “soft-coat,” needs to be sealed in an IGU or laminated unit and has lower emissivity and superior solar control performance.

off line coating

The coating is applied off-line to pre-cut glass in a vacuum chamber at room temperature. This coating, sometimes referred to as a “soft-coat,” needs to be sealed in an IGU or laminated unit and has lower emissivity and superior solar control performance. That being said, the best performing solar control coatings are soft coating Low-E and are ideal for mild to hot climates that are more dominated by air conditioning use in commercial buildings.

the sputtering process

Low-E coated glass is the glass has several layers of metals or other chemical compounds sputtered on the surface(including one or more 10-20 nanometers thick silver layers). Silver has the lowest radiation  rate in the natural world, the silver layer on the Low-E glass lower the infrared radiation rate from 0.84 to 0.51, reduce 90% of the indoor radiation heat loss, combine with IGU is the most effective way of energy saving for buildings.

Features

1.Nanometers coating technology is used to ensure higher visible light transmittance and enough natural ligh through into indoor space.

2.Silver layer of the glass is efficiently blocking the solar heat radiation, lower indoor heat loss, keep the decent temperature in side buildings.

3.Low-E products: Single Silver Low-E; Double Silver Low-E and Triple Silver Low-E.

Solar Control Glass

Solar Control Glass also called Heat Reflective Glass. Coating one or more metal or chemical compound layer on float glass unsing magnetron sputtering in vacuum condition produces verity of colors, light reflectance, light transmittance and absorbability for different usages.

Solar Controal Glass widely used for building of blazing area, colorful effect and sight shading.

Features

1.Variety of colors for different design.

2.Controlled transmittance as required.

3.Efficiently blocking ultraviolet light through.

4.Limit direct solar radiation transmission.

Short Wave and Long Wave Energy

Understanding the solar energy spectrum is key to understanding glass coatings. Glass coatings affect the way the different parts of the solar spectrum are absorbed into, transmitted through or reflected off of glass, all of which factor into the glass’ energy efficiency.
