This dichroic color effect glass from SCHOTT produces
dazzling variable color effects with spectacular
depth effects depending on the position, reflection
and transmittance.
Extremely thin layers are applied
to the glass using the SOL-GEL
dipping process. The coated glass
subsequently consists of multiple
optical interference layers that
account for the various intentional
color effects.
The predominantly oxidic layers
are hard and highly resistant to
both scratches and chemicals.
A combination of highly refractive
and low-refractive layers results in
a rainbow effect. Different colors
result depending on incident solar
radiation, the viewing angle and
the background.
