Şişecam Tinted Float Glass
Şişecam Tinted Float Glass is obtained by adding coloring agents to the glass paste during production.
Subprocesses on Şişecam Tinted Float Glass allow the production of insulating glass units, laminated glass, tempered glass, partially tempered glass, enamel painted glass, bent glass, coated glass, and mirror.
- A wide range of color options, enabling designers and users to create aesthetic and stylish spaces.
- When used on the exterior, limitation of the solar heat penetration into the building, control of the excessive sun brightness, and creation of a comfortable working and living environment.
- Savings on cooling costs by reducing cooling energy consumption in places where air conditioning is used.
- Availability in different thicknesses and sizes.

“Daylight” and “Solar Energy” values were calculated in the “TNO Science and Industry” WIS 3.01 package program using spectral data measured in a laboratory environment in accordance with the EN 410 standard.
The U-value - the heat transmission coefficient, was calculated with the WIS 3.01 program in accordance with the EN 673 standard. The emissivity values used in the U-value calculation were measured in a laboratory in accordance with EN 673 (Annex A) and EN 12898.
The risk of thermal breakage may occur due to factors such as exposure of glass to fragmented solar radiation along its surface, temperature differences between day and night, heat absorption coefficients of glass, or joinery types. Based on these factors, tempered or partially tempered glass has to be used. This document does not include any calculations regarding thermal breakage risks. For questions regarding this subject, please contact Şişecam Float Glass.
In units constructed with tinted solar control glass, it is recommended to use tinted glass as an outer pane.
This document is for informational purposes only, and the information contained therein is subject to change by Şişecam Float Glass without any notice.
Differences may occur between the values given in this document and the actual values, depending on the conditions at the place of use. Şişecam Float Glass cannot be held responsible in any way for these differences.
Daylight Transmittance: The ratio of the visible spectrum (light) that is transmitted through glass.
Daylight Reflectance (outdoor): The ratio of the visible spectrum (light) that is reflected outside by glass.
Total Solar Energy Transmittance: The ratio of total solar energy that is allowed to pass through a glazing system. A lower solar energy total transmittance value means better solar control.
Shading Coefficient: Comparison of the total solar energy transmittance with 3 mm clear glass. A lower shading coefficient means better solar control.
Heat Transmittance Coefficient: The measure of heat insulation in glass. A lower U-value means better heat insulation, lower heating costs, and more winter comfort.
Size and Thickness
Green and Grey Tinted Float Glass are produced in 4mm, 6mm, 8mm, and 10mm; while Blue and Bronze Tinted Float Glass are produced in 4mm, 6mm, and 8mm as standard.
Processing Principles
Storage
Transport glass packages or crates at a 5° angle vertically. Stop stacking crates when they begin to lean and empty that row promptly.
Do not store packages or crates outdoors. Store them in a closed environment with appropriate humidity and temperature conditions for ideal storage, a temperature of 9-25°C and humidity below 70% is recommended. Protect the packages or crates in stock from water (e.g. rain or snow) that may cause the glass to get wet. The glass that gets wet in stock has a high risk of corrosion. Therefore, if the glass plates get wet due to condensation or in any way, clean them before they dry.
When loading and unloading glass packages to/from the stands, place and/or unload them evenly on both sides of the stand.
It is recommended to use only rubberized wooden stock wedges when stocking jumbo packages.
Use wooden or metal (rubber) stock wedges for machine size and split stocks.
Use rubber parts to compensate for the level differences caused by the floor between the stand leg and the stock wedge.
Wooden wedges should be made of kiln-dried hornbeam or beech.
Never store packages with broken or cracked plates.
Washing
The water to be used for washing the glass should have a hardness of maximum 5°Fr and a pH between 6 and 8. It is recommended that the electrical conductivity of the washing water be lower than 1 µS/cm for glass to be coated off-line and 30 µS/cm for insulating glass. The brushes in the washing machine must be soft enough not to scratch the glass. Water on the glass must be removed with an air knife before it dries.
Transport/Handling (in-house use)
Transport glass packages or crates at an angle of 5° to the vertical, not horizontally.
Outdoor transport must be done in covered vehicles that are protected against wetness and dust.
There must be no cracked or broken glass in the package. Cracked or broken glass can scratch the glass in front of and behind it and cause serious workplace accidents as well.
Place glass packages on rubber and felt surfaces. Do not place them in direct contact with metal or wood.
Use proper dust or paper separator between glass plates. Improper separator materials may cause scratches, dents, cracks, and corrosion on the glass. If paper is used as a separator material, it must be ash-free and have a pH between 5.5 and 7.
All separator materials must be clean and dry.
Loading and transport equipment must not be damaged.
During transport, secure packages or crates to the transport vehicle.
Load and unload packages or crates onto/from the transport vehicle using equipment appropriate to the type of packaging of glass. Inappropriate equipment may cause work accidents and glass breakage. Take the necessary work safety precautions before dismantling the glass packaging.
Cutting
Use the appropriate cutter's relay, cutting oil, and cutting pressure.
After cutting, break out the glass immediately.
Make sure the surfaces of the cutting tables are smooth and clean.
Make sure that all sides of the glass plate to be cut are at the same temperature. The glass that is exposed to sunlight on one side and heated may not be cut properly due to temporary stresses.
After cutting, break out the glass immediately.
Cutting and breaking problems in heat-treated glass at temperatures above 480°C are caused by the subprocess.
