fabrics, and carpets from fading
Note: Tdw-ISO represents potential fading damage caused by both UV and visible light. It is considered by the U.S. Department of Energy and the International Standards Organization (ISO) to be a more accurate
barometer of fade resistance than UV transmittance alone. All comparisons are center of glass based on an insulating unit containing 3/4" insulating units; two 1/8" (3mm) glass lights and a 1/2" (12mm) air-filled space
for the standard clear insulating glass and argon gas-filled space for the Sungate ® 600 insulating glass. Actual glass performance may differ due to glass thickness, gas fill and glass to frame ratio.
Solar Heat Gain Coefficient (SHGC) represents the solar heat gain through the glass relative to the incident solar radiation. It is equal to 86% of the shading coefficient.
Figures may vary due to manufacturing tolerances. All tabulated data are based on the National Fenestration Rating Council (NFRC) methodology, using the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory’s Window 5.2 software.

Solarban 60 (2)/Sungate 600 (4) R-5 Insulating Glass Unit
® ®
PPG has introduced a dual-coat technology that can help
dual-pane insulating glass units (IGUs) attain R-5 insulating #3
#1
performance, which by definition means a winter nighttime #4 Sungate
U-value of 0.22 or less, without triple-glazing. As depicted in #2 Solarban 60 glass 600 glass
Argon Gas
the illustration to the right, the technology incorporates one
pane of 3-millimeter Solarban® 60 glass on the second (#2)
surface of the IGU and one 3-millimeter pane of Sungate® 600
glass on the fourth (#4) surface. The two panes of glass are
separated by a ½-inch of argon-filled space.
Sungate 600 coated glass was developed specifically for use in a fourth-surface application. The pyrolytic method of
applying the Sungate 600 glass coating makes it durable, while the star crystalline structure gives it a smoother surface.
The Solarban 60 (2)/Sungate 600 (4) IGU enables residential windows to achieve R-5 center-of-glass insulating
performance. The technology also yields Visible Light Transmittance (VLT) of 64 percent and a Solar Heat Gain
Coefficient (SHGC) of 0.36. Consequently, the IGU effectively combines the clear glass appearance many homeowners
desire with energy-saving insulating performance being emphasized by the federal government and many local

Intercept ® Warm-Edge Insulating Spacers
PPG manufacturers Intercept “Warm-Edge” Insulating Spacers, which have been improving the performance of
residential windows since 1992. In addition to reducing heat loss, Intercept spacers extend the service life of residential
windows by flexing to accommodate temperature-related expansion and contraction. As a result, Intercept-equipped
windows have fewer sealant-related failures, enabling them to retain insulating argon gas longer and more effectively
than less robust spacer assemblies.
Values given are for center of glass based on a 3/4" insulating unit; two 1/8" (3mm) glass lights and a 1/2" (12mm) argon-filled space. Actual glass performance may differ due to glass thickness, gas fill and glass to frame ratio.
Solar Heat Gain Coefficient (SHGC) represents the solar heat gain through the glass relative to the incident solar radiation. It is equal to 86% of the shading coefficient.
