1.1 How it all started

The history of glass is as old as that of the great civilisationsthemselves. But six millennia had to pass before industrialprocesses were developed that made glass an integral part ofour lives. A consumer commodity, a building material, an indus -trial raw material, an art object: the applications of glass are asvaried as Man’s inventive spirit. However, without experience inthe composition of the individual formula, in the control of themelting process and in the skills for finishing, quality and pro-duction reliability in the manufacture of glass are not possible.

Experience, efficiency and innovation: those are our roots.

EUROGLAS Aachen

EUROGLAS Vertriebs-GmbH,based in Aachen, is the inter-face for communication withinEUROGLAS and with clients.The information network of thesales partner organised at theEuropean level convergeshere. Close contact with theproduction units guarantees up-to-date information. With ourcomprehensive range of products, we are well equipped torespond to the specific requirements of our target group, thesmall and medium-sized companies, in Germany, the rest ofEurope and in the entire world.

EUROGLAS Haldensleben

We put our second float glassfacility into operation atHaldens leben during the win-ter of 1997. It is located nearMagdeburg in the former EastGermany, close to the mar-kets of northern Europe andof eastern Europe, the latterenjoying strong growth. Since the spring of 1999, it not only produces EUROFLOAT glass here, but also processes some ofit. The range has thus been expanded by thermal insulationglass of the SILVERSTAR product series and by EUROLAMEXlaminated safety glass. Since 2002, EUROWHITE extra whitefloat glass has also been produced at this location. The com-pany has been certified according to standards ISO 9001 andISO 14 001 since 2000.

EUROGLAS Osterweddingen

In the Osterweddingen com-mercial estate near Magde -burg, we have built our thirdhighly modern float glass fac-tory, which commenced pro-duction in August 2006. Withthis production facility, we aresecuring and strengthening

our independent position in the heart of Europe by supplying toGermany as well as to northern and eastern Europe. With a dailyoutput of 700 tons, we produce float glass in thicknesses up to19 mm, and in oversize lengths too. Since 2007, the plant hasbeen certified to ISO 9001 and ISO 14 001 standards.

EUROGLAS SOLAR

The building of the new sur-face treatment facility for thin-film photovoltaic glassesmarked the entry of the GlasTrösch Group into the solarglass industry. The architec-turally ambitious building wascompleted in just nine

months, allowing the facility to start production in the summerof 2009. The very latest technology is used here to turn basicglass into glass for thin-film photovoltaics. The EUROGLAS PVFlat carrier glass is remarkable for its extremely low degree ofdistortion, thereby meeting the highest quality standards. Thefront glass EUROGLAS PV Hy TCO reduces, thanks to its spe-cially developed coating, the reflection from the glass surface,thereby considerably increasing the efficiency of the thin-filmmodules.


15

EUROGLAS Hombourg

At the point where the threecountries France, Germanyand Switzerland border on oneanother, we have been produc-ing more than 500 tons of floatglass every day since early1995. Every day means 24hours a day, 365 days a year.Our glass is supplied in the thicknesses 3.1 to 10 mm, onreusable racks or packed in crates. Our ultramodern plant isequipped with the latest in environmental technology. We cleanour waste air of sulphur, dust and nitrogen. The company hasbeen certified according to standard ISO 9001 since 1998.

EUROGLAS Ujazd

The newest float glass plant todate of the Glas Trösch Groupwas built in Ujazd, Poland, in2009. This plant is a realrecord-breaker. The plant isthe most modern of its type inEurope, and it also has theworld's largest furnace. With acapacity of up to 1000 tons a day, the market in Poland, and east-ern, southern and northern Europe can be supplied with glass.Besides pure float glass, Ujazd also produces coated thermalinsulation glass and solar control glass.

GLAS TRÖSCH AG SilverstarBützberg

Coated glass has been in pro-duction at Bützberg (Switzer -land) since 1987. The companywas certified according tostandard ISO 9001 in 1996, andis thus regularly monitored byinspection bodies. In the sum-

mer of 2003, the new and ultramodern high-vacuum magnetronfacility MAG 6 was put into service. The Bützberg location main-ly produces high quality SILVERSTAR COMBI glasses and theinnovative SUNSTOP T glasses.

GLAS TRÖSCH Alsace S.A. –Silverstar Burnhaupt le Haut

Glas Trösch Alsace – Silver starwas founded in 1990 at Burn -haupt (France). The two mag-netron facilities came intoservice in 1992 and 1995 re -spec tively. Production was ce r -ti fied according to ISO 9001 in

1997 and since then has been subject to continuous inspectionby European inspection bodies. Its job is to coat SILVERSTARglasses. In 2001 a toughened safety glass oven (4500 x 2300 mm)was installed to allow faster supply of fixed dimensions.


17

GLAS TRÖSCH AG FIRESWISSBuochs

In 2003, the company GlasTrösch AG, FIRESWISS startedoperations in Buochs (Switzer -land). The latest equipment isused to make FIRESWISSFOAM, the multifunctionalmulti-layer fire-resisting glassfor fire resistance class EI. An in-house fire laboratory ensurescontinual product development work. We design and test all ourglass types and, in cooperation with many system manufacturers,their frame systems too. The manufacture of FIRESWISS FOAM issubject to very stringent internal quality checks and also to regu-lar inspection by test institutes.

EUROFLOAT - Variety with glass

Glass is a material with a great tradition behind it and an evengreater future before it. Its remarkable technical properties, itshigh transparency, its resistance to ageing and its strengthmake it an ideal material for building. It is neither combustiblenor inflammable. With its homogeneous and smooth surface,it’s easy to clean and yet extremely hygienic. Once shaped, it nolonger yields to any modification in that shape. Glass is non-sensitive to frost and air temperatures.

Glass has been known for more than 4000 years. Its basic mate-rials – silica sand, limestone and soda – have practicallyremained unchanged in all that time, however the productionprocesses have been constantly perfected. Today, the float glassprocess, used since the early 1960s, has found worldwide appli-cation for the production of glass for construction work. This isa glass of particularly high quality with a transparency practi-cally free of distortion.

The float glass family of EUROGLAS bears the nameEUROFLOAT. This includes uncoated basic glasses and also the EUROWHITE float glasses free of green tinge.

2.1 The manufacturing process of float glass

The production of float glass in a modern float glass facility is along, steady and never-interrupted flow. The excellent quality ofEUROGLAS products can only be assured by extreme precisionover the full 400-metre length of the production line.

Batch filling unit ControlMelting unit Annealing lehrFloat bath Cutting line

60 % silica sand, 19 % soda, 15 % dolomite (limestone) and 6 %other raw materials are mixed according to formula and, afteraddition of about 20 % of cullet, make up the frit supplied to theproduction line. 100% recycling in the facility's operation isachieved by admixing cullet.

The starting point is the rawmaterials, which are preciselyweighed, mixed and then con-tinuously fed to the meltingoven. The melting bath of theoven, 12 m wide and 60 mlong, can hold up to 1700 t ofmolten glass (1550°C).

The frit is melted in the melt-ing area. Gas bubbles con-tained in the glass are ex-pelled in the refining area. Finally, the glass passesthrough the glass melt coolingarea, where it is cooled downas required by the subsequentshaping process.

24


Then the glass arrives in the float bath, containing liquid tin.Since glass is specifically lighter than tin, the glass floats onthe tin. This makes the surface of the glass absolutely smoothand flat.

The thickness and the width ofthe glass ribbon are deter-mined by toproll machines.For thin glass, the toprollspull the glass outwards, andfor thick glass they compressthe glass inwards.

25


All processes of the produc-tion line are continuouslymonitored and documented bycameras and sensors. Theproduction team has a com-plete overview from the cen-tral control point.

The glass now reaches the annealing lehr of more than 100 m inlength, where it is cooled from about 600°C to 60°C. Slow andcontrolled cooling ensures low and even tensions within theglass.

26


Flaw detection equipmentcon ti nuously checks for theslightest flaw in the entireglass ribbon. The glass is thencut to standard dimensionsand stacked. It is directly cutinto the dimensions requiredby the clients on a separatecutting line.

EUROLAMEX – Safety with glass

Protective glass is today more important than ever.

Unsafe guarded glass and window surfaces are the routes pre-ferred by burglars for gaining access to a building. With EURO-LAMEX safety glasses, this problem can be effectively coun-tered. Specially developed for use in private and commercialbuildings as well as in houses, EUROLAMEX is an attack-deter-ring glass safe against break-ins and thrown objects. The lami-nated safety glass mostly used conforms to the resistanceclasses P2A to P24 under the new EN classifications. Mandatoryin some cases in child care centres and schools, it is also suit-able for other applications, for example partition walls, stairwaylandings, balcony panels and porch roofs. Thanks to the exten-sive product range, a wide variety of safety and security riskscan be eliminated.

EUROLAMEX is a laminated safety glass made up of two floatglass sheets connected by a tough elastic polyvinyl butyral (PVB)film of high tear strength. In the event of mechanical overload-ing, the glass breaks, but the fragments stick to the intact PVBfilm. This splinter retention considerably reduces the injury risk– the glazed opening remains closed thanks to its residual load-bearing capacity.

The EUROLAMEX product family also includes laminated glass-es of which the film offers further advantages besides the safe-ty aspects. For example, the sound-insulating EUROLAMEXPHON and the EUROLAMEX Metallic design glass for interioruse.

3.1 The manufacturing process of EUROLAMEX

Laminated safety glass is made at our facilities in our plants.This facilities were designed to process entire strip dimensions(sheets of glass of 3210 x 6000 mm). Other lengths are also pos-sible if the customer requires.

Tcs

Infeed into the facility is assured by gantry-type stackers with acycle time of 30 seconds per strip dimension. Loading can beperformed from four different rack positions. The infeed speedon the line is around 15 m/min.

The glasses are thoroughly cleaned in the washing machine.Before the glass enters it, rotating brushes remove the releaseagent. The thickness of the glass is measured automatically,then the parameters of the machine are set automatically.

Glass/film/glass is here assembled in a fully automaticsequence using the sandwich principle in an air-conditionedroom. Trimming of the edge of the film is also fully automatic.Since the PVB film is very sensitive to temperature and humidi-ty, and every single speck of dust impairs the optical quality, thelaminating room is an air-conditioned clean room. This is alsothe reason why the films are stored in air-conditioned roomsdepending on the products for which they are intended.

42


In the preliminary lamination oven, the sheets of glass with theintermediate film are transformed into what is known as thepreliminary laminate. To do so, the glass sheets are heated upto a defined temperature and compressed by rollers.

Under pressure and heat, the glass sheets are bonded perma-nently to the film. The finished laminated safety glass is thusobtained from the preliminary laminate.

The autoclave process is followed by a 100% visual productcheck by passage through a scanner. The laminated safety glasssheets are then stacked using a gantry-type stacker.

3.2.2 EUROLAMEX PHON – sound-insulating laminated safetyglass

Sound-insulating glass for more acoustic comfort.

Our environment is getting louder and louder. It's not just thenoise from airports, main roads or railway lines that's the prob-lem, but the steadily increasing noise level in everyday life. Itcreates stress situations for people. Psychic and physical disor-ders are often the result. EUROLAMEX PHON is an effectivemeasure for reducing noise considerably. The laminated safetyglass with integrated sound insulation achieves, thanks to itsspecial sound-insulating film, an average improvement of 3 dBin the assessed sound insulation dimension Rw.

EUROLAMEX PHON can be processed like a conventional lami-nated safety glass, since it retains safety properties such assplinter retention. It can be used as single glazing for interiorsand as insulating glass.

SILVERSTAR - Glass designed for life

For a long time windows were regarded as heat sinks in winter,while in summer life under glass became a torment due to thegreenhouse-like effect. The cause for that is that glass is trans-parent not only for the human eye, but also in the infrared spec-trum, and allows heat radiation to pass through it practicallywithout hindrance.

To alleviate this drawback of glass, it is mostly coated glassesthat are used nowadays for building. The job of the coating is toinfluence the transmission properties of the glass such that itmeets energy requirements more efficiently. Matching thediversity of building types, from houses and conservatories tooffice complexes, the range of demands placed on the lightenergy transmission properties of modern insulating glazing isvery wide. Consequently, there is no single all-round coating forall applications, but a fine-tuned range of thermal insulationand solar control coatings.

These products form part of the SILVERSTAR brand.

4.1 The SILVERSTAR coating process

For some years now, glass has been improved by translucentand heat-reflecting layers. To do so, the high-vacuum mag-netron process has been adopted worldwide, by which all SILVERSTAR coatings are produced.

Infeed Process controlCleaning DischargeCoating

EUROGLAS has been manufacturing coated glasses at its ownplant in Haldensleben since 1998. It concentrates here on theproduction of thermal insulation layers, mainly in strip format.Furthermore, solar control glasses are manufactured at thelocations in Bützberg (Switzerland) and Burnhaupt (France).

The entire process is continually monitored by a computer con-trol system. The optical values of every single layer are con-tinuously measured. The SILVERSTAR layers are reproducible atany time.

Weaa

A gantry loader places theglass on the line from 4 inter-nal loader racks. Glasses withthicknesses from 3 to 15 mmand in the sizes 3210 x 1550 to3210 x 6000 mm can be pro -cessed. Fixed dimensions canbe introduced into the pro-cess between the strip di -mensions.

The glass sheets are cleaned with extra-pure water. Two zonesto be traversed one after the other guarantee the surface clean-ness necessary for the coating process. The water used is 100 %retreated, hence reducing water consumption by 70 %.

In a high vacuum the layers are applied to the glass by the mag-netron sputter sources with DC current and medium frequencytechnology. The flexible and extendable concept of the line (thevarious coating stations can be rapidly repositioned) allows us tomodify the facility in a very short time. The more complex layersystems of the future can also be achieved this way.

58


Process control during coatingis assured with several trans-mission spectrometers, andall sputter sources are equip -ped with plasma emissionmo ni tors for precise regula-tion of the coating parameter.The glass sheets are checkedover their entire width of 3210mm by measurement of the

reflection and transmission spectra and of the silver layer thick-ness.

In addition our coatings are regularly tested during productionregarding their temperability. A small toughened safety glassoven is available to do so.

With a cycle time of 45 seconds, the sheets are discharged at theend of the line onto 5 internal loader racks. Stacking is layeragainst rack or layer against suction unit as required. Packagesare sealed for protection against humidity.

4.2 SILVERSTARThermal insulation coatings

SILVERSTAR basic glasses with thermal insulation coatingimprove thermal insulation by reducing the U values.

The effect of the coating is to reduce extremely the translucen-cy of the float glass to long-wave infrared radiation and to returnit to the interior by reflection. Since these glasses are stronglyreflecting or weakly emitting in the heat radiation spectrum(long-wave IR spectrum), they are generally also designated asLow-E (low emissivity = low thermal dissipation).

At the same time, they allow the short-wave thermal radiationof the sun to pass through, so that the passive use of the solarenergy is retained. The energy losses of insulating glass can bereduced by about 70 % with the use of SILVERSTAR thermalinsulation glass.

This effect is achieved by an extremely fine silver coating madeup of several layers with a thickness in the nanometer range.This makes the surface of the glass conductive, and electro-magnetic radiation above a certain wavelength is largely reflec-ted off this metallic surface.

Additional processing of SILVERSTAR thermal insulation glass-es to produce insulating glass is in any event necessary, with thecoating in position 3 (that side of the inner sheet of insulatingglass facing the cavity). Use as a single sheet is not possible.

The 3-layer insulating glasses SILVERSTAR TRIII and SILVER-STAR TRIII E are a reaction to the increased thermal insulationrequirements of the future.

Today, SILVERSTAR thermal insulation glasses are practicallyindistinguishable from standard EUROFLOAT glass thanks totheir high colour neutrality in reflection and transmission.

Thanks to the remarkably high thermal insulation value and thehigh light transmission, SILVERSTAR contributes greatly to thecomfort of a room. Unpleasant cold air currents near windowsare largely prevented by the high thermal insulation. The sur-face temperature of the inner sheet adjusts to the room tem-perature.

Guidelines as listed in section 8.2 are applicable for the pro-cessing of SILVERSTAR thermal insulation layers.

T4.2.1 SILVERSTAR ENplus

The new standard for thermal insulation stands out for its visu-al elegance

The advantages at a glance

The innovation SILVERSTAR ENplus in the product line of SILVERSTAR thermal insulating glasses combines outstand-ing energy properties with a brilliant outward appearance.

Assured achievement of the Ug value of 1.1 W/m2K as per DINEN 673 in standard structures Extra daylight from uncompromisingly high light transmissionvalueAdvantageous total energy transmittance for more heatNatural colour neutrality thanks to sophisticated SILVERSTARtechnology

The crucial benefits are also reflected in the finish:

Cost-aware production using standardized cavity and dispens-ing with expensive inert gasesAchievable gas filling levels (90 %) mean secure insulatingglass manufacture

4.2.2 SILVERSTAR ENplus T

Thanks to further development of the coating, the thermal insu-lating glass is also available in temperable form under thebrand name SILVERSTAR NT. The visually identical glass has thecrucial advantage that its temperability contributes to greaterlogistic flexibility and also a substantially shorter delivery time.SILVERSTAR NT must always be hardened.

4.2.6 CombinationsEUROLAMEX SILVERSTAR / EUROLAMEX PHON SILVERSTAR

The SILVERSTAR thermal insulation coatings are also possibleon all EUROLAMEX and EUROLAMEX PHON glasses. As a result,thermal insulation is combined with security or sound insula-tion functions. The double-sheet laminated glass is provided onone side with a layer that is deposited exposed, and not towardsthe lamination.

The specifications are largely identical to those of SILVERSTARcoated glasses without lamination.

EUROWHITE SILVERSTAR

All thicknesses and sizes of SILVERSTAR coated glasses arealso available in EUROWHITE extra-white glass.

The technical values are therefore improved as follows:

SILVERSTAR ENplus + 1% + 3%

SILVERSTAR ZERO + 1% + 1%

SILVERSTAR TRIII + 2 % + 3 %

4.4 SILVERSTAR SUNSTOP T coatings

SILVERSTAR SUNSTOP T, the temperable solar control productrange, is distinguished by an enormously low solar energytransmittance and by its colourful and neutral aesthetic reflec-tion. The exemplary reflection values contribute to a deliberate-ly low energy consumption for air-conditioning systems andhence to a considerable cost reduction. SUNSTOP T solar con-trol glasses are cut to size, printed and tempered directly in thetoughened safety glass plant. This results in a logistic flexibilitythat above all leads to shorter delivery times.

The SILVERSTAR SUNSTOP T product series has three colour-nuanced coating designs and one neutral type. These coatingsare made in the environmentally friendly high-vacuum magne-tron process and give the building shell its own colour identity.In combination with a neutral thermal insulation coating oppo-site the solar control coating in the insulating glass, an impor-tant contribution is made towards limiting heat losses.

SILVERSTAR SUNSTOP T solar control glasses can be furtherprocessed to make insulating glass, laminated safety glass andbalustrade glass. For processing, the guidelines listed in section8.2 apply.

4.5 SWISSPANELBalustrade panels

Matching SWISSPANEL balustrade sheets are available for har-monious design of all-glass facades. They are suitable for warmand cold facade structures and are as a rule thermally tempered.Their minimum size is therefore 300 x 800 mm. SWISSPANELbalustrade panels are not suitable for insulating glass applica-tions.

With the solar control and thermal insulation glass types of theSILVERSTAR COMBI series, wide all-glass facades in particularcan display their very special visual effect to the full. Harmoniousfacade matching is however achieved for the glass covering onlyin a successful interaction with suitable balustrades: new SWISS-PANEL balustrade panels matching the SILVERSTAR COMBIglasses give the outward appearance a coherent appearance.Depending on the selection, a harmonious and stylish streetappeal or, if required, a contrasting effect can be obtained.

Recommendation for combinations

The coloration varies with the thickness of the glass. From anaesthetic viewpoint, the selection of the matching balustradepanel is not always easy, and for that reason should be a jointeffort by the architect, the owner and the glass processor dur-ing a type test. The SWISSPANEL balustrade panels matchingthe SILVERSTAR COMBI insulating glasses are available asopaque and monolithic toughened safety glass.

5.2 EUROGLAS PV Hy TCOAhead thanks to new technology

Texturing capability, selectability of the optical and electricalparameters and the combinability of the coating system withEUROGLAS PV Flat make EUROGLAS PV Hy TCO into an innova-tive product.

Customer benefits

Thanks to the surface texturing, EUROGLAS PV Hy TCO glassesimprove cell efficiency, thereby considerably enhancing the per-formance of the PV modules. Grinding of the glasses is not nec-essary, which leads to considerable cost savings. The glassesafford simple further processing and an optimum energy trans-mission thanks to the use of EUROWHITE Solar.

Customer requirements take precedence

To cater for customer requirements, EUROGLAS PV Hy TCOglasses are adapted to the respective cell or module type, andthe spectral light transmission and the surface texturing arespecifically optimized to increase the 'light trapping' effect. Thecustomer can also specify the required surface resistance.

Quality assurance

Both the coating and the texturing processes are followed by anoptical and electrical measurement of each sheet. The trace-ability of the glasses is also assured over their entire surface lifeby new technology.

66.1. The manufactoring process of HY-TECH-GLASS products

Until now, antireflective coatings for reducing reflection effectson glass-to-air surfaces have been little used, without doubtpartly due to the complexity of the technology and to its limitedpotential. LUXAR was developed to change that situation. Im-provements in magnetron sputter technology and the use oftwin cathodes have made it possible to apply antireflective coat-ings onto glass efficiently. To create the best possible conditionsfor obtaining exceptional quality, LUXAR is made in a clean-room environment, with clean room class 10 000 or 100 beingused. The fully automatic coating process ends with the applica-tion of a protective film onto the coated glass before stacking. Inthis way the clean-room quality is preserved.


6.2.1 Anti-reflective glass LUXAR®

A new dimension in low-reflective glasses

LUXAR is a product with reflection-free surfaces. With a reflec-tion of less than 0.5 %, LUXAR low-reflection glass coated usingthe magnetron process puts an end to annoying reflections. Thisis why LUXAR is practically invisible to the eye.LUXAR is used wherever a separation is necessary, but has toremain invisible:

6.2.3 Mirrored glass and divider mirrors

Spy mirrors

Spy mirrors are glasses partially mirror-like on one side and usedas a partition between a monitored room and an observationroom. The reflection on the coated side is higher than that on theglass side. This allows the observer to look into a more brightly litroom while in the other direction no through-vision is possible.

Advantages

Spy mirrors meet ISO standards on abrasion, bond strength,moisture, temperature and solvents.

Typical applications

Spy mirrors offer almost unlimited design applications bothindoors and outdoors. They are used wherever surveillance isrequired without being seen. 20% spy mirrors are used to coverinformation displays.

Special features

The light ratios between the rooms separated by spy mirrorsmust be at least 1:5 lux (for 20 % 1:10 lux). Spy mirrors with lighttransmission values of 1 %, 12 % and 20 % are available. Furtherpossibilities (e.g. 30 % and 40 %) on request.

Dimensions

190 x 300.5 cm; glass thicknesses 3 to 12 mm.

Divider mirrors

Divider mirrors are partially translucent mirrors with opticalinterference coating. Part of the incident light is reflected, theother part transmitted.

Advantages

Divider mirrors meet ISO standards on abrasion, bond strength,moisture, temperature and solvents. They are weather-resistantand extremely low-absorption.

Typical applications

Divider mirrors are used for neutral and low-absorption split-ting of light in lasers, in optical measuring technology or for tel-evision applications such as monitors or teleprompters. Thanksto their high weather resistance, divider mirrors are alsoincreasingly used in the architectural field.

Special features

Divider mirrors with light transmission values of 70 % and 50 %are available. Further possibilities – also combinable withLUXAR – on request.

FIRESWISS FOAM fire resistance with glass

The steadily increasing demands made in the safety field arealso reflected in the development of fire resistance for buildings.Modern architecture requires more and more often transparentsolutions for the provision of fire compartments.

Fire-resisting glasses protect, when correctly used with theappropriately tested frame systems, human life and propertyfrom the destructive power of a fire.

The fire-resisting glass for the requirements of fire resistanceclass EI from Glas Trösch bears the name FIRESWISS FOAM.

FIRESWISS FOAM is an all-rounder, offering in addition to fireprotection a large number of important properties: it can beprovided with fall/break-through resistant properties in the fieldof building and personal protection and processed into insulat-ing glass. The use of SILVERSTAR coatings makes FIRESWISSFOAM a very efficient thermal insulation and solar control glass.

109


Tf

7.1 The mode of operation of FIRESWISS FOAM

Under direct temperature effects, the thermo-transformationcoatings between the float glass plates foam up and thus createan insulating heat shield thanks to their outstanding fire-retard-ing and fire-resistant effect. During the required fire resistancetime (30, 60 or 90 minutes) the thermo-transformation coatingsfoam up one after the other to absorb the energy from the fire.

The foamed-up heat shield means that the side of the glass fac-ing away from the fire only heats up by around 100 K while thetemperatures from the fire are almost 1000 °C.

Storage

Never leave the delivered thermal insulation out in the open orexpose it to direct sunlight. The thermal insulation glass mustbe stocked in a dry place with low humidity of ‹ 60 %.

Maximum duration of storage: Closed packs, with packaging: 6 monthsOpen or unpackaged packs: 2 months

Handling

The coating must not be touched with bare hands. Wear cleanspecial gloves when working with thermal insulation glass.Saliva residues projected onto the layer by persons talking orcoughing can cause oxidation of the layer.In the case of destacking with the coating against the suctionunit, suitable suction unit covers must be used.The coated side can be identified with a continuity tester or bythe reflection of a light source or object.

122


Cutting of size

SILVERSTAR thermal insulation glass must always be placed onthe cutting table with the coated side upwards. Special cuttingoils recommended by us must be used here. SILVERSTAR andCOMBI thermal insulation glasses are cut on the coated side.The cut glasses can be separated manually or automatically.With automatic separation, the cutting rollers must be providedwith buckskin protectors or be in an absolutely clean state.

Interim storage

To prevent scratching, the glass sheets must not be slid overone another when stacked prior to further processing. Sheets ofdiffering sizes must be separated from one another by theinsertion of paper strips. On the glass transport trolley, thecoating must always face upwards. Interim storage of the cutsheets prior to their assembly as insulating glass units must beas short as possible.The cut SILVERSTAR glass must be processed within 8 hour.

Caution:No touching with bare hands, no humidity, no contact with thebody.

Fixed dimensions

Never leave delivered SILVERSTAR thermal insulation andCOMBI glass fixed dimensions (float glass, laminated andtoughened safety glasses, casting resin glass) out in the open orexpose them to direct sunlight.The humidity in the fixed dimensions store must not exceed 60 %. The maximum duration of storage is 2 weeks.Due to the risk of corrosion, the fixed dimension glasses mustbe processed within 8 hours of opening of the packaging.

Caution:No touching with bare hands, no humidity, no contact with thebody. Please comply with our instruction sheets.

Removal of coating from the edges

The coating is ground mechanically off the edges of the glasssheets by a simple process. If the coating is not removed cor-rectly from the glass edges, corrosion of the silver layer mayresult.

Checking that the coating has been removed is possible using acontinuity tester.

124


Washing

The washing machine and in particular all the brushes must beclean. Washing must be performed with fully demineralisedwater.The following requirements are placed on the water in the rear-most and if possible in the last-but-one washing zones:

Conductance ‹40 microsiemensRecommended water temperature 40°C No addition of washing agents

In the prewashing zone, soft brushes with an individual bristlethickness of between 0.15 and 0.25 mm should be used. If thisis not the case, the brushes must be lifted (e.g. with magneticsensors).

To prevent scratching, soft brushes with a bristle thickness ofbetween 0.15 and 0.25 mm should be provided in the mainwashing zone at the side where the coating is cleaned. We re-commend a fixed maintenance schedule (nozzles are frequentlyclogged).

After washing, the coated glass must be visually checked undersufficient light. Glasses with clearly visible scratches, stains andmarks must be taken away before assembly.

8.2.2 SILVERSTAR SUNSTOP T solar control glass General

SILVERSTAR SUNSTOP T is a temperable solar control glass.There are four different colour-nuanced coating designs: SIL-VERSTAR SUNSTOP Neutral 50 T, Blue 50, Blue 30 and Silver 20.For each colour type, the visual and radiation physics valuesbetween a tempered and a non-tempered SUNSTOP T glass arevery similar.

Note: SILVERSTAR SUNSTOP Blue 50 T and SILVERSTAR SUN-STOP Neutral 50 T can, depending on the lighting situation, bevery hard to distinguish by eye. It is recommended that neat andclear-cut identification or labelling is assured before and duringwork, as otherwise there is a risk of mix-ups.

Technical data

The visual and radiation physics values of the SILVERSTAR SUN-STOP T coatings are altered during the tempering process. Thetechnical data depend not only on the coating, but also on theentire pro-cess sequence, including storage, cutting, edge fin-ishing, washing and in particular tempering. When this processsequence is under control, the optometric data are within the tol-erance limits.

Quality checks

Glas Trösch continuously checks during the production processthe optical and electrical values of the non-tempered SILVER-STAR SUNSTOP T coatings. From each production campaign, random samples are taken,tempered, and then tested in the laboratory for their optometricand mechanical properties:

Colour values (L, a* , b*) for reflection and transmission Electrical surface resistance of the function coating Haze Mechanical load capacity Chemical load capacity

Glas Trösch thus creates the ideal conditions for reproducibilityof the tempered solar control glass.

Requirements for tempering process

Basic principles

With heavily reflecting solar control glass, even small scratchesmight already be visible. The glass must therefore be handledwith corresponding care. In particular, the coated side shouldnot be touched unless this can be avoided. Compared with nor-mal solar control glass, a complicating factor with temperablesolar control glass is that even minor damage or impurities onthe coated side which are barely visible to the naked eye can bemuch more conspicuous after tempering.

128


Time spans and storage

For temperable solar control glass, we suggest the followingtime guidelines:

Storage until processing: ‹ 12 Monate Storage as cut fixed dimension: ‹ 24 Stunden

Handling and transport

SILVERSTAR SUNSTOP T is a fairly robust and durable product.If there are nevertheless marks such as fingerprints or suctionunit marks on the tempered glass, the following rules shouldapply:

Avoid touching the coated side. It is essential to pick up the temperable solar control glass by its coated side, the suction units used must be either very well cleaned and degreased or have suitable protective covers. For manual handling, wear clean and soft gloves.

After cutting, the glass can be transported sheet against sheet,as there are still separators on the glass surface; however, afterwashing at the latest the glass sheets must be stacked withcardboard or paper interleaves or cork or plastic spacers!

Cutting oil residues adhere to the coating, and in some casesmay be impossible to remove completely in the washing ma-chine, therefore becoming visible again as stains after temper-ing. In any event, the time between cutting and edge finishing shouldbe kept as short as possible.

Edge finishing and washing after tempering

After edge finishing, the glass must be washed without delay. Itmust be ensured that residues from edge finishing cannot dryonto the glass surface before washing. Furthermore, the glassshould be rinsed off with sufficient water so that any glass dustis completely removed before the brushes start polishing. A high water quality is of crucial importance, and regular clean-ing of the washing unit is an essential feature of this. The glass must be absolutely clean, meaning it emerges fromthe washing machine cleaned of all residues from packaging(Lucite), cutting (oil), edge finishing (glass dust) and absolutelydry.

Tempering oven

General

In any event, the glass is transported through the facility, heatand tempered with the coating side (= fire side) upwards. As ageneral principle, a normal float glass program can be used forthe tempering process in a first step.

The solar control coating can be destroyed by excessively hightemperature stress or by over-long heating up times. It is im-portant to heat the glass to the lowest possible tempering tem-perature and to initiate an optimum tempering process. Theoven temperature should not exceed 700 °C here.

SILVERSTAR SUNSTOP T can be tempered up to a thickness of19 mm.

Convection assistance

SILVERSTAR SUNSTOP T can be tempered in ovens with or with-out convection assistance.

Cleaning the tempering system

A clean oven is a further important factor in the successful tem-pering of SILVERSTAR SUNSTOP T. It is recommended to oper-ate the oven system without or only with a minimum supply ofSO2 (sulphur dioxide gas).

Before tempering the solar control glass, the ceramic ovenrollers can be cleaned, for example with a few batches of struc-tural glass, hence picking up dust particles inside the oven sys-tem.

It must also be ensured that there are no more glass particlesin the tempering station that could get blown onto the glass dur-ing the blowing-off process.

Heat soak test

In the heat soak test, it must be ensured that the spacers are notpressed too hard by the weight of the glass onto the coatingside, as this can leave marks which can no longer be removed.For further details see draft standard pr EN 14179-1.

132


Quality check

The tempered solar control glasses can be visually assessed forflaws prior to further processing, in accordance with DIN 1096.

Packaging

If SILVERSTAR SUNSTOP T is not immediately processed furtheron the spot after tempering, it must be carefully packaged forfurther transportation. There must always be an interleaf bet-ween the glass sheets, but if possible not cork spacers (recom-mendation: see under Handling and transport).

SILVERSTAR SUNSTOP T can be bent with radii of up to 2000 mm,either convex or concave, whether as float, toughened safety orheat strengthened glass. Success and possible tighter radiidepend however to a great extent on the bending process.Bendability should be confirmed with tests in each individualcase.

8.2.3 FIRESWISS FOAM fire resisting glass

Transportation, storage and packaging

Transport, storage and packaging must be in accordance withthe specifications of the manufacturer.

Glass surfaces that have come into contact with cement slurryor with liquid that has been in contact with cement slurry andthen with glass surfaces must be rinsed off, but not rubbedclean, using clean water.

Failure to comply with the recommendations for transport-ing, storing and cleaning can result in damage or – in the worst case – destruction of the glass product. EUROGLAS/Glas Tröschshall not accept any responsibility for resultant direct and con-sequential damage.

The complete guidelines for assessment and handling ofFIRESWISS FOAM are available at any time from EUROGLAS orGlas Trösch.

8.2.4 Technical advice for the application of thermal insula-tion glass and solar control glass

Assessment criteria for solar control insulating glass andsolar control balustrade sheets

The coated glasses are evaluated according to DIN EN 1096-1.

Colour consistency in the outward appearance

For production reasons, absolute identicality of coated glassesin their colour and/or reflection, both in their outward appear-ance and when looking through them, is not always possible:this applies in particular for subsequent orders. If glasses areordered for a building over a lengthy period, this must be madeknown to the manufacturer at the very start of the order so thatdivergences in the colour impression can be minimized. Anessential factor for colour consistency as far as possible is ofcourse always installing the glass in the direction we suggested.

Flatness

Minor divergences in the flatness can be caused by the process-ing or by the double sheet effect. Deformations of the glass sur-face leading to a slight distortion of the reflected image do notconstitute grounds for complaint. To reduce the double sheeteffect, we recommend selection of a slightly thicker outerreflecting sheet. For thermally tempered glasses, slight defor-mations are possible due to manufacturing reasons. These arenot deemed to be grounds for complaint.

Technical values

All the technical values have been determined in the course ofchecking by independent testing institutes in conformity withthe respective valid standards. If other institutes obtain a differ-ent result, this result shall not be authoritative for us; only theresult of a check by an institute commissioned by us shall beauthoritative.

Thermal breakage risk

Prevention of thermal breakageThermal breakage is the result of overstressing of the glass bydifferent temperatures on the same glass surface. Solar con-trol glasses are more at risk from overstressing of this kindthan clear glasses, since they absorb part of the solar energyand are thus heated. By thermal tempering to obtain tough-ened safety glass, the risk of thermal breakage can be practi-cally ruled out.

High radiation absorptionGenerally speaking, solar control glass must be tempered forglass combinations with a radiation absorption capacity greater than 50 %.

136


Partial shading

Glasses which are partially in shade and partially exposed tosunlight are subject to a certain risk of thermal breakage. Theextent of the risk depends crucially on the type of shading. Thereis for example a considerable risk when less than 25 % of thesurface of the glazing is shaded while the shade zone makes upmore than 25 % of the extent of the glass.

Apparent faults in the transformation into insulating glass

The following are excluded from evaluation and do not representgrounds for complaint:

Interference phenomena

Interference phenomena can occasionally occur in multiple-sheet insulating glass units. They are the result of mutual influ-encing of the light rays and the precise plane-parallelism of thefloat glass sheets, which are the conditions necessary for lighttransmission without distortion. Interference consists of moreor less thick rigs, streaks or stains that become visibles in thespectral colours and which are shifted by simple finger pressurein the surface of the glass. Interference phenomena in no wayimpair light transmission or the functioning of the insulatingglass, they are a physical reality and hence do not justify com-plaints. In some cases, interferences can be eliminated by turn-ing the insulating glass or slightly modifying the angle of incli-nation.

Double sheet effect

In all insulating glass elements, the air is hermetically sealedinside the cavity. As a result, the pressure on the inside of theinsulating glass element depends on the altitude of the manu-facturing location, the atmospheric pressure and the air tem-perature at the time of manufacture.

If these conditions differ at the installation location, a differencewill occur between the outside air pressure and the air pressurein the cavity of the insulating glass element.

138


This can cause temporary inward or outward bulging of the indi-vidual float glass sheets. Seen from the outside, the reflectedimages appear more or less distorted. The quality of the insu-lating glass element, its thermal insulation and sound insula-tion properties, light transmission and clear view are in no wayimpaired. To improve the optical quality of reflecting solar con-trol glasses, a slightly thicker outer sheet can can be chosen. Inthis way the pressure difference is absorbed by the thinnersheet while the thicker one remains stable. Care must howeverbe taken in the case of small-sized insulating glass elements orelements with unfavourable height-to-width ratio. The permis-sible bending tensile stress is more rapidly exceeded than is thecase with large-sized elements, and fracture of the glass canresult. The double sheet effect results from the laws of physicsand hence cannot be construed as grounds for complaint.

Anisotropies (hardening stains)

Anisotropies are only found on glass that has been subjected toa tempering process. A double refraction of the light rays is cre-ated in the tempering zones. These anisotropies are visible,when polarised light is present, in the form of slight clouding inthe spectral colours.

Multiple reflections

Multiple reflections of varying intensity can occur in the varioussurfaces of the insulating glass element. This effect can appearmore intensely in glasses with reflecting coatings. Since thiseffect is a natural property of glass, multiple reflections cannotbe made the subject of complaints.

Condensation in the insulating glass element

Interior sideThe due point of the glass surface on the room side is deter-mined by the heat transmission value (U value), the humidity of the air, the ambient temperature and the air circulation.Recently built windows have greater tightness than older win-dow frame systems and thus prevent heat losses and also any exchange of moisture. As a result, the room humidity increas-es and, once a certain humidity is reached, the glass surfaceon the inside mists up. This increase in humidity can be pre-vented by short but frequent airing.

Exterior sideBecause of the higher thermal insulation of modern insulat-ing glass elements, the outer sheet only heats up slightly,since little energy passes from the inside to the outside. Also,at low temperatures overnight, the outer sheet cools down inaddition and can mist up outside when there is high outsidehumidity.
