This glass produces iridescent color effects in six different variations and makes a bold visual statement while conveying an impressive sense of depth – making it the ideal material for architects, artists, and designers to create lively color accents.
NARIMA®, with its 6 variations offers a beautiful colour effects in the blue-gold, blue-green, may-green, orange & yellow.
How is SCHOTT NARIMA glass made?
NARIMA® is a dichroic color effects glass. “Dichroic” means that NARIMA® glass reflects some colors and allows others to pass through. For this reason, the glass shows one color when it is looked through, but creates a completely different color impression in the plan view, depending on the angle.
NARIMA® is a color effects glass that is produced in a dip-coating process. Very thin layers of high and low refraction metal oxide coatings create vivid colors which change depending upon viewing angle and daylight conditions. Based on the hardness, scratch resistance and high chemical resistance, NARIMA is noticeably more durable than conventionally coated glass – and care and cleaning of the glass can hardly be more simple and uncomplicated.
The optics of NARIMA® changes slightly during the tempering process. The reflection curve shifts due to tempering. Different process parameters (glass size) can cause fluctuation of the optics due to tempering.
What makes it unique?
SCHOTT NARIMA ® Color Effects Glass is unique due to:
Design
offers beautiful color effects in blue-gold, blue-green, may-green, green, yellow and orange
can be used for eye-catching interior and exterior applications
causes dazzling visual accents with an impressive sense of depth and homogenous appearance
can be used for office buildings, museums and opera houses to doors and parapets
Quality
NARIMA® coatings are hard, highly scratch-resistant, highly thermally and chemically resistant
many processing options e.g. thermally toughened safety glass, heat-strengthened glass, laminated safety glass, insulation glass, etc.
NARIMA® as a dip-coated glass is harder than sputtered glass products and less vulnerable to humidity than foil-based solutions
