Low E Film Comparative Corrosion Testing

Saint Gobain Solar Gard, 27 June 2016 - Low E, or Low Emissivity films, are able to keep the heat inside a building in winter as well as reject it in summer. In recent years technology in Low E films has advanced significantly and now the latest high performance Low E films can stop nearly half the heat from escaping in winter.

That impressive winter performance has made high performance Low E film the fastest growing market segment in Australia & New Zealand and Solar Gard's Ecolux 70 is a market leader.

As you may know high performance Low E films are more expensive than standard flat glass films and as a result we see most sales going to high end properties where quality is of the utmost consideration. No one wants to see a film fail through corrosion and especially not when installed in high end properties.

As a comparative bench marking exercise Solar Gard Saint-Gobain through its San Diego laboratory tested Ecolux 70 against two competitor's Low E films using a Saint Gobain proprietary corrosion test, see before and after samples illustrated above. As you can see Ecolux 70 performed exceptionally well showing zero corrosion whereas the competitor's samples showed excessive corrosion after only 14 days in the same chamber.
