The association of Semi VISION-LITE® with other low emissivity coatings must be assessed case by case, please contact your sales representative. For VISION-LITE® II dual coating (tempered version), the inner side of the inner panel can be coated with PLANITHERM® UN II.
(laminated or monolithic). In case of • VISION-LITE® II, two protective sheets (clear glass 4 mm) are used on each side of the pack; • The pack and its contents must be protected from water.
Therefore, glass processor should ensure that the process is adapted for coated glass and that the quality control is relevant to detect any quality problem as soon as possible. In case of claim, samples will be required and a visit from a Saint-Gobain Glass representative may be requested. MAY 2022...
“rainbow” or milky white haze on the surface of the glass, or corrosion pitting on the coated side. VISION-LITE® range glass sheets must be stored, as float glass, vertically (at 3 to 7 degrees) under the following conditions: •...

In case VISION-LITE® range is submitted to several processing steps (edge working + drilling +…) each of them followed by washing, it is recommended to pass the cut sizes in the same direction for each washing phase (to avoid possible generation of multiple crossed scratches).
For interim stacking of washed panes, use cork pads near the edge of the sheets. • In case, in a further step, for VISION-LITE® or VISION-LITE® II, it is of the highest importance that no residues or marks are left on the coating surface after the exit of the pre-processing washing machine.
The tin side and the air side of the VISION-LITE® II can be identified on the cutting table by looking for the cutting line on the edge of the jumbo which is coming from the cutting wheel of the float line (air side).
