Last updated: July 2026 dataBody-tinted glass achieves its color uniformly through the mass during melting, distinguishing it from surface-coated or filmed glass — a specification difference that directly affects solar heat gain coefficients and architectural performance ratings. Opacified glass and flashed glass (a thin colored layer fused onto a base glass) serve decorative and functional roles in stained glass, signage, and specialty architectural glazing. Absorbent or reflecting layer variants are widely used in energy-efficient building envelopes and automotive glazing, where coating integrity and optical uniformity are tightly specified.

Basic heading 66431 · $718K of $26.7B
Body-tinted (mass-colored) glass has colorant distributed uniformly throughout the glass matrix, visible when examining a cross-section or edge. Surface coatings or films applied after forming are a separate processing step and may shift classification to a different heading depending on the nature and thickness of the coating.
Stained glass studios and architectural restoration projects are primary consumers of flashed glass, which provides vivid color effects not achievable by painting. Opacified glass is used in decorative panels, appliance fascias, and privacy glazing where light transmission must be diffused or blocked entirely.
