An Iranian car manufacturer has reportedly used a new kind of nano-glass from Kaveh Glass Company in its automobile windows and windshields to reduce energy wastes. According to Kaveh, the glass can be used in various climates as it prevents the heat outside the car from entering the interior in hot areas and does not let the heat inside the car go out in cold areas. The sales manager of Kaveh elaborated on the different types of such glasses they have produced, and said, “Laminate building glass is one of the glasses produced by Kaveh Glass Company. Nano glasses have been used to form one layer of this glass.” Explaining the advantages of using nanotechnology in window and windshield glasses, he reiterated, “Nano-coatings used in laminate glass enable them to have wider applications. Among the advantages of the glass, mention can be made of colour diversity, translucency, energy and heat transfer, and change in reflection.” The company has already used nanotechnology in the production of other types of glass, such as soft coating glasses, visible and invisible light reflectors, energy waste reducer and self-cleansing glasses. According to the export manager of the company, Turkey, India, Saudi Arabia, as well as some European countries, have shown interest in its nano-glass, which started to be produced in 2005.
