Abstract

The present invention relates to an ultraviolet-shielding glass sheet including a glass composition based on soda-lime glass, the glass composition containing iron oxide and TiO 2 as coloring components. The glass sheet has a thickness of 1 to 5 mm, and an ultraviolet transmittance (Tuv 380) as determined at the thickness according to ISO 9050:1990 is 1.5% or less.

Claims (61)

1. An ultraviolet-shielding glass sheet comprising a glass composition based on soda-lime glass, the glass composition comprising iron oxide and TiO 2 as coloring components, wherein

the glass sheet has a thickness of 1 to 5 mm, and

an ultraviolet transmittance (Tuv 400) as determined according to ISO 13837:2008 convention A is 2.0% or less,

a visible transmittance (YA) as measured using CIE standard illuminant A according to JIS R 3106:1998 at the thickness of 3.5 mm is 26.1 to 40%, and a solar transmittance (TG) as measured according to JIS R 3106:1998 is 10 to 45%,

wherein the glass composition comprises, as base composition:

65 to 85 wt % SiO 2 ;
