Low Iron Glass

JNS low iron glass is intended for applications that require a high transmission value and low coloration. Some low iron glasses are patterned and offer unique characteristics for the lighting and solar markets. Low iron glasses have similar chemical composition and properties as soda-lime float glass except the iron oxide content is significantly reduced, providing a less “greenish” tint. JNS Glass & Coatings can provide any of the manufacturer’s products that are commercially available, including Starphire™, Optiwhite™, Diamant™ and UltraWhite™, Solite™, Solatex™, Pixels™, and C-73 Prismatic™.
