PPG Honors Developers of Breakthrough Low-E Glass
Developers of the industry's highest-performing and most fabricator-friendly low-emissivity glass were honored recently at a PPG Industries (research and development conference.Honored with the PPG President's Award for Technical Achievement for their work on Solarban 60 solar control low-E glass were: Mehran Arbab, James Finley, Howard Gillery, Ed Kapura, Paul Medwick, Dennis O'Shaughnessy, and Andrew Wagner.
Solarban 60 low-E glass reduces solar heat gain by about 49 percent in argon-filled insulating units compared with standard clear glass units, meaning homes require less energy to cool. Ultraviolet light transmittance of argon-filled Solarban 60 glass units, meanwhile, is about 72 percent less than clear glass units, helping to reduce fading and degradation of carpets, curtains and furniture.
The PPG President's Award was created in 1983 to recognize groups and individuals whose outstanding work contributes to PPG's commercial success. Winners are chosen at the discretion of the PPG Collegium of active and retired technical personnel whose outstanding career contributions have established substantial product and process innovation. President's Award winners are recognized on a biennial basis, receiving a cash award and plaque.
