Guardian UltraWhiteTM
| Low-iron glass with clarity you can see.
Designers have long sought glass that doesn't dull or distort the true color spectrum. Guardian UltraWhite is that glass. The virtual absence of color makes UltraWhite glass the natural choice when true color and clarity count. Simply compare UltraWhite glass to ordinary float glass and you'll see an exceptionally clear difference. UltraWhite can be combined with the following SunGuard products: SuperNeutral 68 on UltraWhite View these products using the performance comparison tool. Characteristics UltraWhite glass is manufactured with reduced iron content to improve clarity and reduce the green tint inherent in standard clear glass. Our scientists have found that reducing the iron and using a new raw materials formula increases light transmission and reduces the greenish tint in clear glass that is most apparent when viewed from the edge. This green tint becomes more visible as float glass gets thicker. |

The result is pure, sparkling, very clear glass.
Applications
The stunning clarity of UltraWhite glass makes it an obvious choice for atriums, skylights, doors and entranceways, display cases and storefronts. UltraWhite can be tempered, laminated and painted just like regular float glass and can be used virtually anywhere regular float glass is used.
UltraWhite provides a dramatic improvement in laminated applications. Until now, laminating conventional clear float glass typically resulted in color distortion and a reduction of visible light transmission as the laminate thickness increased. UltraWhite’s combination of strength, security and distortion-free vision equals unparalleled performance.
