Self-Cleaning Glass
Benefits
- UV rays work to slowly break down and loosen organic dirt on the glass surface.
- Sheeting action allows more efficient rinsing.
- Glass surface dries more quickly with minimal spotting and streaking.
- 40% reduction in UV transmittance.
- Outward appearance of the glass is slightly brighter.
- Solar heat gain coefficient is improved by about 0.05 points.
- Durable, long-lasting coating.
| Photocatalytic Process |
|
In a photocatalytic process, ultraviolet (UV) light from the sun energizes the SunClean glass coating to help slowly break down and loosen organic dirt. Since UV light is abundant even on cloudy days or in shaded areas, this process works non-stop throughout the day. |
| Sheet Action |
|
Features
- The glass is photocatalytic; its self-cleaning coating is energized by UV rays.
- The glass is hydrophilic; its coating allows water sheeting action.
- Offers improved thermal/optical qualities vs. regular clear glass.
- The self-cleaning coating is applied using PPG's patented process.

| Hydrophilic Process |
|
The coating's hydrophilic property makes water droplets spread out, or sheet, across the surface of the glass. Because of this, when rain or a light spray of water hits the window, the water helps to more effectively rinse away loosened dirt. This sheeting action, which works throughout the day and night, helps the window dry quickly with minimal spotting and streaking. |
Window-Fix Self-Cleaning glass is a coated glass product that has both photocatalytic and hydrophilic properties. Together, these properties make windows easier to clean. A durable, transparent coating is applied to hot glass during the formation process making it an integral part of the outer surface of Self-Cleaning Glass Because of the coating's photocatalytic property, it is energized by UV rays to help slowly break down and loosen organic dirt. Because of its hydrophilic property, water sheets evenly over the glass surface, instead of beading. This sheeting action helps flush the surface clean and accelerates drying to minimize spotting and streaking.
Window-Fix has this product in stock, ready to install, in most windows, single or double pane.
