Pilkington made a significant step in the glass industry with the
development of Pilkington Activ™, the first dual-action
self-cleaning glass. The unique dual-action of the Pilkington Activ™
coating uses the forces of nature to help keep the glass free from
dirt, giving not only the practical benefit of less cleaning, but
also clearer, better-looking windows.
Self-Cleaning Glass
Pilkington Activ™ is applied to float glass via on-line
chemical vapor deposition, it is an integral part of one
surface of the glass, and lasts the entire life of the
glass. Pilkington Activ™ uses daylight which is abundant
even on cloudy days to keep windows clean with a
two-step process.
Pilkington Activ™ loosens dirt, and gradually
breaks down organic residue with a special
self-cleaning surface that uses energy from
daylight.
When it rains, the water sheets off the
Pilkington Activ™ surface, removing dust particles
and inorganic dirt so windows dry without spots and
streaks. Under most conditions, natural rain is
sufficient to keep the window clean. And in dry
weather, a quick spray with the house will achieve
the same results. Pilkington Activ™ dramatically
reduces window cleaning, providing crisp, clear
views.
