Saint-Gobain Glass BIOCLEAN® Self-cleaning glass

BIOCLEAN is a low-maintenance self-cleaning glass manufactured by depositing a transparent and permanent layer of photocatalytic and hydrophilic material onto the glass.‎ The combined natural action of the sun and the rain keeps the glass cleaner for longer and makes it easier to clean.‎ SGG BIOCLEAN has been designed for external use, either for application in residential or non-residential buildings, including: - Windows, roof windows, bay windows - Glass conservatories, roof and patio doors - Glazed facades, skylights, overhead and atria glazings In both residential and commercial buildings, cleaning windows can be a huge task, whether for the occupant or the building owner, in terms of maintenance cost.‎ Thanks to the hydrophilic and photocatalytic properties of the coating on the glass, SGG BIOCLEAN® brings endless benefits to both the cleaning and associated drawbacks of cleaning glass.‎ The coating is permanent.‎ SGG BIOCLEAN®  functionality will remain the same over the life of the glazing.‎ The coating is highly transparent.‎ The principle of SGG BIOCLEAN® relies on the natural action of the sun and the rain (or water).‎ SGG BIOCLEAN® harnesses the UV rays present in daylight (photocatalysis) to efficiently break down organic dirt and grime located on the exterior face of the glass.‎ Then, thanks to the hydrophilic property, rain (or water) forms a sheet of water across the glass and washes away the broken- down organic dirt and mineral materials.‎ These combined properties allow: - Ease of maintenance.‎ any dirt that does appear on the glass is much easier to remove - Less maintenance.‎ The need to clean the glass is significantly reduced along with maintenance bills.‎ - A clearer view.‎ Due to the clarity of the glass, you can now enjoy a clearer view.‎ Further info from manufacturer on BIOCLEAN® Saint-Gobain Glass
