PPG To Highlight Advanced Glass, Coatings At AIA Show

PPG Industries will showcase advanced architectural glasses and coatings at the 2011 American Institute of Architects' Convention in New Orleans, May 12-14, booth 1635.

• CLARVISTA shower glass is an innovative glass for bath and shower enclosures and doors that, with regular maintenance, looks newer longer than other shower glass products.
• DURANAR powder coatings feature the durability, brilliant color, mica effects and custom-batching capability of Duranar liquid coatings, but emit virtually no volatile organic compounds (VOCs).
• Duranar ULTRA-COOL infrared-reflective coatings deflect heat from buildings to reduce urban heat island effect and air-conditioning costs. They meet steep-slope, cool roof requirements for ENERGY STAR, Title 24 and LEED criteria, and they are available in a broad palette of light and dark colors.
• Duranar VARI-COOL coatings combine ULTRA-Cool infrared-reflective technology with pearlescent, polychromatic coatings that shift color according to ambient lighting conditions and the angle from which they are viewed.
• SOLARBAN R100 glass is a neutral-reflective, solar control, low-emissivity (low-e) glass with a proprietary hybrid coating technology. With visible light transmittance (VLT) of 42 percent and a solar heat gain coefficient (SHGC) of 0.23, Solarban R100 glass has a 1.79 light-to-solar gain (LSG) ratio up to 29 percent greater than that of competing transparent-reflective, solar control, low-e glasses.
• SUNGATE 400 passive low-e glass is manufactured with a magnetron sputtered vacuum deposition (MSVD) "soft coat" that helps commercial buildings in heating-dominated climates retain heat from the sun and reduce winter heating costs.
