AUTOMOTIVE
Innovative solutions from AGC Flat Glass deliver the extraordinary quality, value-added performance, and product consistency demanded by the automotive industry. AGC offers an array of primary and fabricated solutions that meet the exacting needs of both automakers and auto glass fabricators.
Tinted float products from AGC Flat Glass are ideal for automotive applications, where they deliver high visible light transmission-coupled with reduced glare and solar heat transmission. This unique combination enables vehicles to stay cool-reducing air conditioning demands, increasing comfort, improving fuel efficiencies, and protecting interior components. AGC's tinted automotive products also enhance privacy.
Tempered glass from AGC is another perfect fit for the automotive industry-where safe breakage is always a concern. With four times the strength of annealed glass, AGC's tempered products resist breakage-and, if shattered, disintegrate into small, rounded pieces that minimize physical injury.
AGC Flat Glass also offers laminated glass for automobile windshields, providing additional protection for vehicle occupants. While the surface of AGC's strong laminated products may be broken, glass fragments stay inside the windshield frame, bonded to an inner layer of polyvinyl butyral (PVB).
For automotive applications that don't demand specialty solutions, AGC's clear float glass is an industry standard. Clear float products from AGC Flat Glass offer the versatility, visibility, and clarity required in any automotive application.
