Detailed Product Description

Laminated glass is produced by bonding two or more layers of glass together by means of a special plasticised interlayer, polyvinyl butyral (PVB).

This interlayer, after processing under controlled heat and pressure conditions, assumes a similar refractive index to the glass consequently having no adverse effects upon light transmission and at the same time, absorbing over 99% of the harmful ultraviolet rays found in natural sunlight.  The excellent bond strength of the PVB to glass serves to maintain the integrity of the laminate in the event of deliberate or accidental damage, whilst also preventing penetration through the assembly.

Laminated glass is mainly used for safety glass in homes and offices, architectural and vehicular applications.
