Sphinx Glass

The products come with advanced optical properties, exceptional clarity and light transmittance, thanks to Egypt’s high quality silica sands. Sphinx Clear Glass comes in a different qualities and with thickness ranging from 2mm to 19mm.

1. Silvering Quality
2. Automotive Quality
3. Architectural Quality

Sphinx Glass provides a range that is uniformly smooth and practical for all purposes from interior designs, car mirrors, household mirrors, and window panes, etc. Designers need only to specify the thickness required; from 2.7 mm till 6 mm and Sphinx Glass will provide perfect silvering quality glass for the best quality mirrors.

More recently, the curved shape has grown into popularity, becoming one of the most commonly in demand shapes for many producers and processors.

Sphinx Glass is committed to meeting the changing demands of car manufacturers, utilizing the most advanced manufacturing technologies to ensure the optimum quality of its products and services.

Sphinx Automotive Quality comes in varying sizes and thicknesses, beginning from 2.1 mm. to 3mm.

Yet its defining characteristic is its clear and undistorted visibility, whether in the clear float or green ranges, which provide high transmittance and reduce solar heat gain, making the different varieties of Sphinx Glass products ideal for windscreens, sidelights and backlights.

The product comes with advanced optical properties, exceptional clarity and light, transmittance, thanks to Egypt’s high quality silica sands.

The production process itself entails pouring molten glass over a bath of molten tin; the glass then flows over the surface, forming a smooth floating ribbon, with even thickness on either side of the tin. The ribbon then passes through a cooling tunnel known as the annealing (LEHR.). In this controlled setting, the temperature is gradually lowered to remove any internal stresses in the glass sheet and allow for its workability during processing.

At Sphinx Glass, special attention is paid to annealing process to ensure optimum post processing results in the tempering, double glazing, lamination, coasting and silvering stages. High dimensional accuracy is applied during the online cutting process to ensure the glass sheets come out as perfect rectangle.

Coated on clear or tinted, Sphinx Glass is designed to prevent undesirable heat gain while offering a smooth mirror effect.

Sphinx Pyrolytic reflective coatings – Solarite and Vistalite – have all characteristics of Pyrolytic coated glass:

• Long shelf-life
• Do not require edge deletion
• Useable for all post-processing operations, including: tempering, curving, bending, laminating, silk-screen printing.
• Can be used in monolithic or IG configuration
• The complete range of Sphinx Pyrolytic coated glass is CE, marked and conforms to EN 1096.

Solarlite Coated Float

Stunning brilliance

The Solarlite family of reflective coated glass was introduced in 2010 to the Egyptian Market to enhance the appearance of thousands of buildings and to the comfort of millions of inhabitants.

Solarlite glass can be glazed with the reflective coating positioned on either the first or second surface. The glass has improved performance and higher exterior visible-reflectivity with a metallic sheen when installed with the coating on the first surface. Combined in a 1-inch insulating glass unit with clear glass, Solarlite glass offers an expansive palette of appearance and performance options with solar heat gain coefficients (SHGCs) ranging from 0.34 to 0.14 and exterior reflectance of up to 37 percent.

When installed with the coating on the second surface, the glass has lower exterior visible reflectivity and maintains the substrate glass color. Combine Solarlite glass with Sphinx Glass on clear and tinted glasses, such as Euro Grey, Euro Bronze, Sky Blue , Clear or Green, to produce an even greater range of aesthetic options.

Vistalite Coated Float

Quietly neutral, with a hint of sheen

Vistalite subtly reflective color-enriched glass transmits generous levels of visible light and provides color neutrality, which amplifies and enriches the tint of the glass substrate underneath without a mirror-like appearance. More understated than traditional reflective glass, Vistalite glass is available in two distinct tints—Sky Blue and Euro Grey and rich-blue Pacifica®.

• Vistalite Clear
• Vistalite Sky Blue
• Vistalite Euro Grey

It only transmits the optimum amount of light and protects against unwanted UV radiations, while reducing heat intake, creating an ideal and private interior setting.
