A recent innovation from AGC Interpane, Planibel Easy self-cleaning glass makes window cleaning easier. The durable pyrolytic coating of the glazing uses the UV radiation in sunlight to break down dirt in five to seven days.

The self-cleaning function has been independently tested and confirmed by the Fraunhofer Institute for Surface Engineering and Thin Films (IST) according to EN1096-5. In the rain, the special coating distributes the water especially evenly across the glass and allows it to run off more easily, so that it also dries faster.

The product is available in multiple variants: Planibel Easy Clear (4mm) achieves a high daylight transmittance of 84%; the solar factor is 82%, which allows desirable solar energy gains to be made in cooler months. Planibel Easy Blue (4mm) is a bluish variant, which is especially recommended, for example, for the roof glazing of conservatories. The daylight transmittance here is 63%; the solar factor is 58%.
