Laminated glass
is a type of safety glass that holds together when
shattered. In the event of breaking, it is held in place by
an interlayer, typically of polyvinyl butyral (PVB), between
its two or more layers of glass. The interlayer keeps the
layers of glass bonded even when broken, and its high
strength prevents the glass from breaking up into large
sharp pieces. This produces a characteristic "spider web"
cracking pattern when the impact is not enough to completely
pierce the glass.
Laminated glass
is normally used when there is a possibility of human impact
or where the glass could fall if shattered. Skylight glazing
and automobile windshields typically use laminated glass. In
geographical areas requiring hurricane-resistant
construction, laminated glass is often used in exterior
storefronts, curtain walls and windows. The PVB interlayer
also gives the glass a much higher sound insulation rating,
due to the damping effect, and also blocks 99% of
transmitted UV light.
Laminated Safety
Glass can be used on Shop fronts, windows, doors, shops,
Offices, Factories, Shelves, Schools and is a requirement in
many area's. |

A typical
laminated
makeup would be 3 mm glass / 0.38 mm interlayer / 3 mm glass. This gives
a final product that would be referred to as 6.38 laminated glass.
Multiple laminates and thicker glass increases the strength. Bulletproof
glass is often made of several float glass, toughened glass and Perspex[citation
needed] panels, and can be as thick as 100 mm. A similar glass is often
used in airliners on the front windows, often three sheets of 6 mm toughened
glass with thick PVB between them.
Newer developments have increased the thermoplastic family for the lamination
of glass. Beside PVB, important thermoplastic glass lamination materials
today are EVA[4] (EthylVinylAcetate) and TPU[5] (thermoplastic Polyurethane).
The adhesion of PVB/TPU and EVA is not only high to glass but also to
Polyester (PET) Interlayer. Since 2004 metallised and electroconductive
PET-Interlayers are used as substrate for light emitting diodes and
laminated to or between glass.
