EPD: Low-iron float glass, 1 mm, 2.5 kg/m2, Optiwhite (Pilkington UK Ltd)

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. Detailed product information and datasheets can be found on our website: www.pilkington.com Performance characteristics such as light transmittance, thermal conductivity and acoustic properties can be calculated for any of our products via Pilkington Spectrum: www.pilkington.com/spectrum.
