Pacifica™ Tinted Glass Blue & Green Tinted Glass Two new stunning blue tints from Vitro Architectural Glass (formerly PPG Glass) — Pacifica™ glass and Solarblue™ glass — are available with subtly reflective and traditional reflective coatings to provide architects with five distinct aesthetic options. The glasses are available with high-performance Solarban® 70XL or Solarban® 60 solar control, low-e coatings on the second surface to give architects four new performance options. Rich blue Pacifica glass adds to the Oceans of Color ® collection of nautically inspired tints, which also features Atlantica,™ Azuria,™ and Solexia™ glasses. Two additional aesthetic options can be created by using Pacifica glass with reflective Solarcool ® or subtly reflective, colorenriched Vistacool ™ coatings. Solarblue glass displays a light sky-blue tint. As part of Vitro Glass’s Earth and Sky Tones performance tints, Solarblue glass complements Graylite,® , Solarbronze® and Solargray ® glasses. It may be used with Solarcool reflective coating. With the addition of Pacifica and Solarblue glasses, Vitro Glass offers the industry’s broadest selection of tinted glasses. Energy and Environmental Performance Architects seeking to optimize environmental performance can obtain Pacifica and Solarblue glasses with high-performance Solarban 70XL or Solarban 60 solar control, low-e coatings on the second surface. In a one-inch insulating glass unit with clear glass, these pairings can deliver LSG ratios between 1.50 and 1.87. Pacifica or Solarblue glasses may also be used as the exterior lite in an insulating unit with Sungate® 500, Solarban 60 or Solarban 70XL coatings on the third surface.
