Solar control coatings in automotive glazing improve the thermal comfort for passengers, degrease solar irradiation into the cabin and reduce fading of materials. In IRR glazing solar radiation reduction is performed by silver based low-e-stacks with high visual transmittance and high near infrared reflectance. The new ARB regulation for California demands for reduced total solar transmittance Tts of < 50% of automotive glazing in new cars from 2012 on and of < 40% starting 2016. While most suppliers will be able to meet the 2012 goals, achieving the 2016 target requires a major step forward in coating design and optimization of layer properties.
