Pilkington Self Cleaning
Glass:
Pilkington Active:
Pilkington Active glass
is effectively the same as conventional
glass but with a specially developed coating
on the outside that has a unique dual
action. Once exposed to day light the
coating chemically reacts in two ways.
Breaking down organic dirt:
Using a “phtocatalytic” process, the coating reacts with ultra-violet
rays present in natural daylight to break down and disintegrate organic dirt.
Washing dirt away:
The second part of the process happens
when rainwater hits the glass. Pilkington
Active is “hydrophilic”, which
means that instead of forming droplets,
the water spreads evenly.
Pilkington Active
Glass – The Facts:
- Will reduce the
need to clean by using day light and
rain
- Will dry without
streaks or spots
- Will need 5 –
7 days to activate after installation
- Will not work
if thick dirt prevents UV reaching the
glass
- Will not remove
inorganic dirt without water (in very
dry conditions or freezing conditions)
