Dual-action cleaning for exterior windows exposed to natural UV light and rain

The secret of Pilkington Activ lies in its special coating, which works in two stages:

• Breaking Down Organic Dirt
  Using a PhotoActiv process, the coating reacts with ultraviolet rays from natural daylight to break down and disintegrate organic dirt

• Washing Dirt Away
  The second part of the process happens when rain or water hits the glass. Because Pilkington Activ is hydrophilic, instead of forming droplets the water sheets off the glass. This not only washes away loosened particles of dirt but also prevents the formulation of droplets which cause streaks and make windows look dirty
