Infra-red Cut Glass Iris^®

Beat the Heat

What is Iris^®?

An invisible coating applied inside the laminated glass reflects the infrared (IR) rays before they can enter the car cabin.

Features and benefits

Summer comfort

Improves thermal comfort in summer, reducing perspiration, breathing difficulties, hot seats and steering wheels

Thermal reflection

Lowers the temperature up to 15°C by reflecting invisible infrared solar rays, keeping the vehicle more comfortable as soon as you get inside (Depends on environmental conditions)

Supports air conditioning

Reduces the time needed to cool down the car interior

Environmentally friendly

Enables fuel savings and decreases CO2 emissions by reducing air conditioning needs

Mileage increase

On EVs, coated glass will reduce air conditioning needs, resulting in an increased mileage range.

Concept

An invisible coating applied inside the laminated glass reflects the infrared (IR) rays before they can enter the car cabin.

Thermal Comfort

Improves thermal comfort inside the car in summer by reflecting invisible infrared solar rays. Depending on car configuration and climatic conditions, up to 15°C temperature reduction inside.

For example, solar energy transmission is down to 30% compared to 55% when using standard tinted green glass.

Solar Energy Transmission

Solar factor (TTS) down to 40% compared to 65% when using a tinted green glass

Compatibility

Compatible with other technologies in the windshield (i.e. acoustic glazing, thin glazing, head-up display).

Special techniques such as zoned decoating can be used to ensure radio wave transparency.
