Pilkington Low-iron Float Glass
This EPD applies to low-iron float glass (as defined in EN 572 Glass in building — Basic soda lime silicate glass products - Part 2 Float glass) manufactured by NSG Group within its Architectural Glass Europe business unit.
This EPD covers the Pilkington Optiwhite™ range. Pilkington Optiwhite™ is a low-iron extra-clear float glass with very high light transmission; standard thicknesses available are from 2 -19mm.
It is practically colourless, and therefore ideal for use where glass edges are visible or where a neutral colour is desired. The light transmission of Pilkington Optiwhite™ is higher than that of clear float glass, so it is perfect for applications where transparency and purity of colour are desired.
Pilkington Optiwhite™ products can be toughened and/or laminated.
These products are classified CPC3711 under the UN CPC classification system v2.1.
