The most recent data sheet published by PPG Industries provides information on performance of Sungate® 600 glass, a multifunctional, neutral-transparent glass made with an advanced passive low-emissivity (low-E) coating.
PPG Industries has published a data sheet with performance data for Sungate® 600 glass, a multifunctional, neutral-transparent glass made with an advanced passive low-emissivity (low-E) coating that enhances the insulating performance of buildings in a variety of climates.
The one-page flyer shows Sungate 600 glass in three 1-inch insulating glass unit (IGU) configurations designed for specific climate zones:
* For moderate climates where heat gain is preferred, Sungate 600 glass functions as a traditional, high-performing passive low-E glass, providing a U-value of 0.33, a solar heat gain coefficient (SHGC) of 0.65 and visible light transmittance (VLT) of 71%.
* For colder climates where greater insulating value is important, Sungate 600 glass can be placed on the No. 4 surface of an IGU, and it can improve U-values by 20% when combined with SOLARBAN® 60 glass on the No. 2 surface and separated by a ½-inch air space, which may eliminate the need for triple-glazing.
* When used on the No. 3 surface of an IGU with tinted or reflective glasses by PPG on the No. 2 surface, Sungate 600 glass can boost U-values by up to 30% while improving the SHGC and offering a variety of aesthetic options.
Sungate 600 glass is formulated with a smooth, durable pyrolitic coating suitable for use on the No. 4 surface of a double-pane IGU. Because the coating is chemically bonded to glass while molten, Sungate 600 glass has a durable hard coat. The resulting star-crystalline structure also makes the surface up to 25% smoother than the coatings on traditional pyrolitic coated glasses.
