  • Publication number: 20060141265
    Abstract: A solar-control transparent substrate composition is presented having a transparent substrate, a multi-layer stack and a low emissivity layer thereon. The multi-layer stack comprises at least three sub-layers with at least one sub-layer being a near infrared solar absorbing layer and at least one sub-layer being a low refractive index layer. Also provided is a method of producing the improved, coated, solar-controlled transparent substrate. The solar-control transparent substrate composition provides an improved solar control glass with reduced haze, improved visible transmission and a more neutral reflective color.
