Benefits |
|
1. |
Lead
Free Black Enamel Printing |
Normal
black ceramic contains 40-50% lead. Use of lead free black enamel is a major step
forward in the area of environment protection. |
2. |
Water
repellent Glass |
1.
Driver's visibility improves during rains.
2. Use of the windshield wiper is reduced.
3. Easy to remove ice and snow from the glass. |
|
3. |
Infra
Red Cut Windshields |
Reduction
of energy transmission into vehicles, leading to:
1. Increased air conditioning efficiency
2. Reduced irritation from sunlight |
|
4. |
Low
Reflective Windshields |
1.
Improved driver's visibility
2. Ability to use wider variations of front dashboard colours and textures, without
interfering with driver's visibility. |
|
5. |
Antenna
Printing |
Used
in lieu of the standard "whip antenna", reducing body weight and the cost of the
conventional antenna. |
|
6. |
Modular
/ Extrusion Assembly Window |
1.
Ease of fitment at the car manufacturer
2. Anti - theft |
|
7. |
Shade
Band for Tempered Glass |
In
laminated windshields, the shade band is provided via the PVB interlayer to create an area
of differential light transmission - normally for protection against solar glare. This is
not normally possible in a monolith product, such as tempered glass, other than by use of
the specialised coating process. Normally used in the back glass. |
|
8. |
Colour
Coated Tempered Glass |
1.
UV reduction
2. Colour coating in specified areas of a single glass, allowing differential colours
where required - e.g. fully colour coated back glass, except in the area of High Mount
Stop Lamp (HMSL) so that Stop Lamp brightness is not affected. |
9. |
Front
Acoustic Laminated Glass |
1.
Increased security
2. Soundproofing |

Ability
to read instrument panel without needing to look down |
|
13. |
Use
of different kinds of float glass |
1.
Low visible light transmission for privacy
2. Reduction of air conditioning load
Functions of UV reduction and heat absorption added to normal tinted glass:
1. Normal tinted glass - Solar Energy transmission 60%
-
UV transmission 35%
2. UV Cut Glass - Solar Energy
Transmission 45%
- UV transmission 3% |
