Glass SONGCOLOR
Special optical glass SONGÎÍÃ

glass is a decorative, disaining, and sunlight protecive glass wih special optical coating.
SONGCOLOR glass getting their colors by interference transmitted or reflected sunlight.

The degree of transmission (2 to 80%) and the ranges of transmission and reflection are determined by the properties of coating.
SONGCOLOR glass can be used in designing and decoration of shop windows, building facades and interiors, for sunlight protection, heat insulation, and improvement of microclimate in premises. It can be of use in furniture production for the creation of new furniture designs and modernization of the existing ones.
Colored mirror glass better fits the interior than ordinary mirrors.
SONGCOLOR glass can afford colored light inside premises.

Examples of decorative glass Glass with titanium nitride coating  Hotel "Palace" in Tverskaya street in Moscow Office building with a restaurant in Tverskaya street in Moscow

SONG Ltd. has developed a unique technology of coating deposition onto large overall-dimensions glass of SONGCOLOR type through special masks with fairly fine pattern. The technology considerably expands the sphere of colored glass application for decorative finish of buildings both inside and outside.

SONGCOLOR mirror glass is made from the best M1 polished glass of home production.
Maximum size 1600x1300mm, 5mm thick
The glass can be cut to suit the customer's needs.

SONGCOLOR glass can be manufactured as:

Colors:

colored miror glass
brightly-colored mirror glass
colored toned glass
softly-colored toned glass of high transparency

 

gray,
goldish,
yellow,
green,
blue,
brown,
cherry,
violet,
and immitation gold (titanium nitride)

Note: titanium nitride is a high-quality corrosion-resistant coating that looks like coating of gold. This glass can be produced wih various reflection ability (10 to 100%). It differs from other mirror glasses "in immitation gold" by its unique properties and can be used even in saunas.

Special optical glass SONG

Special optical glass of SONG Ltd. can efficiently improve both the protection from sunlight and heat insulation as compared to ordinary glass.
Special coatings on glass, developed by SONG Ltd., reflect or transmit sunlight in the IR region while the transmission in the visible region can be varied. This property makes the glass suitable for heat insulation of premises.
When used in window panes, the glass can efficiently contribute to heat and power saving in cold periods of the year.
Similar coatings developed by SONG Ltd. have fond application in special reflectors in medical illuminant devices. For example, surgery needs powerful light sources that would adequately illuminate the operation place but would not cause undesirable warming of tissues of a patient. Moreover, these sources should provide sufficient illumination for a surgeon to perform longer operations without intervals necessary for the surgeon's eyes rest. The present-day halogen incandescence lamps considerably increase the illumination power. Interference coatings can cut off the light of the red and infrared spectral regions, which makes more than 60% of the total power of incident illumination but does not contribute to the visible illumination of an object. This cutting-off can increase the illumination power of incandescence lamps by several times and thus increase the illumination of an object without extra warming-up of an illuminated area.
Complex optical coating on the reflector surface would transmit heat (IR part of an electric lamp) and reflect light in the visible spectral region, closely resembling natural sunlight. This property provides the possibility of conveying a powerful flow of light to the "operation area" during surgical operations without warming up tissues by heat rays because the rays are transmitted through the reflector surface instead of being reflected. Moreover, the surgeon observes tissues in natural light without distortions and can see very fine details that cannot be seen under conventional illumination (e.g., capillaries under the skin).
These illumination systems can and do find wide application in stomatology and other fields of medicine, in art when artificial illumination closely resembling natural sunlight is required.
SONG Ltd. is an important provider of such reflectors of its own production.
