## Stopray ![Stopray description](https://metalco.epikouros.events/_images/products/DoubleGlazing/sopraydescr.png)

- The solar-control function is achieved by applying a C-type metallic coating (EN 1096-1) to the glass
- Various performance levels and colours available, including a unique neutral, low light-reflection range
- Some colours can be toughened after the coating has been applied
- Range of spandrels available in double glazing with Blackpearl
- Use: always in double glazing (position 2) – single glazings available for glass processors
- Uses: single glazing – insulating glazing – laminated glass – thermally toughened glass – enamelled glass

#### Benefits

- High level of light transmission, low level of internal solar heat throughput
- Selectivity (relationship between LT and SF = maximum 2): excellent for the range of neutral colours
- Suitable for use in all climates: combines solar control in the summer with thermal insulation in the winter. Particularly well suited to tertiary buildings with air conditioning to maintain a comfortable temperature while at the same time keeping energy costs to a minimum
- Finish: wide range of light-reflection and light-transmission levels
- Look: different colours – extensive range of neutral colours

#### Comments

- Coating always applied in position 2
- Absorption: variable – a thermal shock analysis should beconducted

### Performance and Colour Ranges
