All Sungate® Low-E insulating glass units improve thermal performance and reduce solar
heat gain. Because the coatings are neutral, Sungate® glasses are the ideal solution for
energy-efficient commercial structures where the original appearance of the glass is desired.
PPG manufactures two Sungate® coated Low-E glasses for commercial construction.
Sungate® 100 Low-E Glass
Sungate® 100 glass combines a clear glass appearance with excellent thermal properties.
The U-Value of a Sungate® 100 insulating glass unit is improved 35% compared with a
standard clear glass unit. Visible light transmittance of the Sungate® 100 glass unit is 92%
as high as a clear uncoated glass unit.
Sungate® 500 Low-E Glass
Sungate® 500 glass provides the clarity and color neutrality of clear uncoated glass with
some of the best performance characteristics available.
Using Sungate® 500 glass in an insulating unit improves U-Value 27% over a standard clear
glass unit. Additionally, the Sungate® 500 glass unit transmits almost 94% as much visible
light asPPG Sungate® Low-E glasses enhance energy efficiency and maintain the original
clear or tinted glass substrate color.

Formerly Sungate® 1000, this outstanding PPG glazing product takes on a new name but
retains its outstanding performance properties.
Solarban® 60 was engineered to control solar heat gain, which is essential to minimizing
cooling costs. In a standard one inch insulating glass unit, Solarban® 60 has the following
features:
• Exterior appearance similar to clear, uncoated glass
• Blocks approximately 60% of the total solar energy
• Excellent insulation value (U-Value = 0.29)
