Introduction
Saint-Gobain Glass introduces SGG PLANICLEAR®, a new standard substrate for high-performance and classic solar control coatings. This product is designed to meet the increasing demand for transparency, clarity, and color neutrality in commercial facades.

Specifications
SGG PLANICLEAR® is a clear float glass with a lower iron content, offering improved aesthetics and optics. It is available in various thicknesses ranging from 3 mm to 19 mm and standard dimensions. The glass provides high light transmission (up to 91%) and energy transmission (up to 89%), with reduced energy absorption compared to traditional float glass.

Performance Comparison
Compared to SGG PLANILUX®, SGG PLANICLEAR® offers higher light and energy transmission, making it suitable for energy-efficient buildings. It enhances thermal insulation and increases solar heat gain, contributing to reduced heating costs.

Applications
SGG PLANICLEAR® is ideal for creating bright interiors, particularly in applications requiring thick glass, such as partitions, doors, and display windows. Its slight bluish tint adds decorative accents, and its color neutrality ensures excellent color and contrast reproduction.

Product Availability
Available from September 2014, SGG PLANICLEAR® can be used with the CALUMEN II software for performance data analysis. It is certified by IFT Rosenheim and UBAtc, with a performance declaration available online.

Conclusion
SGG PLANICLEAR® sets a new standard for transparent glass, offering significant advantages in light transmission, energy efficiency, and aesthetic appeal, making it a suitable choice for modern architectural designs.
