A Little Bit About Automotive Glass – Truck Tech

Reading Toyota’s official description of the 2011 Tundra, you’ll find the following lines about glass:

Standard High Solar Energy Absorbing (HSEA) glass helps filter solar heat and most UV (skin-sensitive) light energy entering the vehicle. This reduces occupants’ sun exposure, helps to keep the interior cooler and enhances durability of interior materials. Limited grade models receive standard IR-cut glass, further reducing solar levels.

The question is, What the heck are “High Solar Energy Absorbing” glass and “IR-Cut” glass, and how do they work?
