Low-iron NSG TEC™ Sodium Block is used as substrate for solar mirrors in concentrated solar power applications. The sodium barrier layer offers improved product shelf-life and durability and can offer solar mirror manufacturers improved stability.

NSG TEC™ offers a wide variety of thermal and heated glass performance properties, whilst increasing light transmittance and optimising electrical conductivity.

Glass manages solar heat radiation by three mechanisms: reflectance, transmittance and absorptance. These are defined as follows: Absorptance – the proportion of solar radiation absorbed by the glass. In hot conditions or for building with high internal loads, solar control glass is used to minimise solar heat gain.

The glass manufacturer will supply its NSG TEC™ electrically conductive glass to customers of Cohda, which will combine the product with its Power-Tap (P-Tap) wireless power technology. P-Tap technology allows electricity or data to be transferred wirelessly through a transparent conductive coating to power any device.

UK touchscreen and glass processing expert Zytronic is reinventing the white goods category with its futuristic new ‘transparent goods’ Hi-Fi system concept, powered invisibly using NSG TEC™ electrically conductive glass.
