Self Cleaning Glass
NEAT™ Naturally Clean Glass
Neat glass harnesses the power of the sun’s UV rays to loosen dirt so water can rinse it way, leaving windows virtually spotless. Windows stay clean longer and clean easier.
How Neat Glass Works
- A thin, invisible titanium dioxide coating harnesses the power of the sun’s UV rays to loosen dirt so water can rinse it away, leaving windows virtually spotless.
- Durable silicone dioxide treatment makes glass smoother as it ages so water disperses evenly, sheets off and evaporates quickly, greatly reducing water spotting.
- When water (either rain or water sprayed on the glass) hits the ultra-smooth surface, it disperses evenly, sheets off and evaporates quickly, washing away the grime and leaving glass almost spotless.
Please note, Neat is only available with Sol-R® Shield 270™ and Sol-R® Shield 366™.
