Abstract
The present invention provides for a new improved green privacy glass. In accordance with the teachings of the present invention, the iron is oxidized with the help of inexpensive manganese oxide. No chromium, cerium nor titanium oxides are added to obtain the desired green color. The glass has a %UV less than 13% at 4.0 MM. This low UV absorption could eliminate the need for a black band in glass to prevent the fading of the color in glass.
