SIG® Super Clear Glass
SIG’s Super Clear Float Glass is a specialized glass product engineered to exhibit exceptionally high light transmission. Unlike traditional float glass, which contains trace amounts of iron oxide resulting in a greenish tint, super clear glass is produced with significantly reduced iron content. This compositional refinement yields a product characterized by its neutral color rendition, enhanced clarity, and superior optical properties. As a result, super clear glass provides an almost undetectable visual barrier, making it highly desirable for architectural applications demanding maximum light ingress and minimal color distortion.

SIG’s Super Clear Glass: Approaching Optical Perfection
Production: Pushing the Boundaries of Refinement:
The foundation for SIG’s super clear glass lies in the float process, similar to clear float glass production. However, super clear glass requires even more stringent controls and refinements throughout the production stages. The critical factor rooted in achieving an extraordinarily low iron content within the glass combination. Conventional clear float glass naturally contains trace amounts of iron oxide, causing a slight greenish tint. SIG’s super clear glass goes a step further, using careful raw material selection and processing techniques to minimize iron oxide traces to exceptionally low levels. Innovative melting processes and painstaking quality control measures further ensure minimal distortions, resulting in a near-perfect glass composition.
Key Properties and Distinctive Features:
SIG's super clear float glass features unrivaled light transmission, allowing natural light to flow freely without distortion. Its low iron content eliminates the greenish tint typical of traditional float glass, resulting in enhanced transparency. The glass boasts high tensile strength for durability and resistance to breakage. With superior clarity, it provides unobstructed views and a brighter ambiance in interiors. Additionally, its high light transmittance promotes energy efficiency, reducing reliance on artificial lighting and lowering utility costs.
