Sapphire AR™ (Food Displays)

By applying our Anti-Reflective coating on regular float glass we have achieved the lowest reflection % and
made the glass virtually invisible. We have also added qualities such as smooth surface for much easier handling and processing and temperability.

THIS SAPPHIRE™ PRODUCT HAS THE FOLLOWING FEATURES AND BENEFITS:

  • NO REFLECTION
  • IMPROVED TRANSMISSION
  • EASY TO ADAPT
  • SUITABLE FOR TEMPERING, BENDING, AND PRINTING
  • ABRASION RESISTANT AND EASY TO CLEAN
  • HIGH DURABILITY AND LONG LIFETIME OF THE COATING

TECHNICAL INFORMATION

Substrate Thickness, mm Maximum Size, mm Light Transmission Light Reflection (per side)
Regular Float 2-8 2250×3210 ~97% ~0.5%

Applications

  • Full Glass Door Cabinets
  • Integral Food Display Cabinets

Application example:

Sapphire AR Low-E™

Refrigerated cabinets covered with Sapphire anti-reflective products are energy efficient and make it easy to see the
products on display.

By combining Anti-Reflective coating with Low-emissivity glass, we have created the lowest reflection % in combination with the lowest U-value of any glass on the market. This makes the glass virtually invisible and also energy efficient. The final glass products have a smooth and durable surface for much easier handling and processing for any food display design.

MAXIMUM PRODUCT VISIBILITY

Anti-reflective coatings minimize the reflections and provide a clear view to the products inside the food display.

INCREASED ENERGY EFFICIENCY

Anti-reflective glass has exceptional transparency, reducing the required lighting brightness within the food displays. The  low-E glass products are suitable for lamination and DGU unit design for even further energy savings.

 

TECHNICAL INFORMATION

  • Reflections reduced to <1%
  • Improved visible light transmission
  • Improved U-value and energy efficiency
  • Suitable for tempering, bending, and printing
  • Abrasion-resistant and easy to clean
  • High durability and long lifetime of the coating
  • Easy to process to your specifications

Sapphire AR™ (Lighting)

Anti-reflective coatings on glass for lighting applications provide the highest light transmission to save energy. Sapphire by Groglass ensures that the maximum amount of light gets steered through the glass and illuminates with the highest efficiency. For outdoor lighting, this can mean significant energy savings by requiring less energy for the same lighting brightness. The top coating by Groglass ensures durable and maintainable glass products with exceptional quality.

Sapphire anti-reflective glass can improve the efficiency of most lighting objects that use glass as protection for the light source.

Street lights
Tunnel and infrastructure lighting
Stadium lighting fixtures
Industrial and retail lighting

Sapphire by Groglass for lighting – data sheet
