It is essentially a float glass which covered with a layer of a photo catalytic material. The most commonly used photo catalytic material is titanium oxide. Since titanium oxide is easily handled and chemically unreactive it is often used to manufacture self cleaning glass. While ordinary glass requires proper cleaning and self cleaning glass saves the trouble of constant inspection and care. Self cleaning glass is most suitable for office buildings, commercial houses etc. Self cleaning glass has hydrophilic properties as well. This feature dose not let subjection of water affect the dust settlement. If this glass is washed with water the dust gets wiped of along with the water. The various companies which manufacture glass are Saint Gobain, Adreaen glass works, Breuer, Huppe, Heritage, Masco corporations etc.
