Abstract
The ultraviolet/infrared absorbent low transmittance glass has a grayish, almost neutral color shade, low visible light transmittance, low total solar energy transmittance, and low ultraviolet transmittance, and is suitable for a rear window of a vehicle and capable of protecting privacy. The glass consists of base glass including: 65 to 80 wt. % SiO ; 0 to 5 wt. % Al O ; 0 to 10 wt. % MgO; 5 to 15 wt. % CaO wherein a total amount of MgO and CaO is 5 to 15 wt. %; 10 to 18 wt. % Na O; 0 to 5 wt. % K O wherein a total amount of Na O and K O is 10 to 20 wt. %; and 0 to 5 wt. % B O , and colorants including: 1.0 to 1.6 wt. % total iron oxide (T-Fe O ) expressed as Fe O ; more than 0.019 wt. % and equal to or less than 0.05 wt. % CoO; more than 0.0008 wt. % and equal to or less than 0.003 wt. % Se; and more than 0.05 wt. % and equal to or less than 0.1 wt. % NiO. The glass with any one of thicknesses between 1.8 mm and 5 mm has a visible light transmittance (YA) measured by the C.I.E. illuminant “A” in a range from 5 to 25%, a solar energy transmittance (TG) of 5 to 25%, and an ultraviolet transmittance (Tuv) specified by ISO of not greater than 15%.
