SCHOTT NARIMA™ - the living glass

This dichroic colour effect glass from SCHOTT produces dazzling variable colour 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 colours result depending on incident solar radiation, the viewing angle and the background.
