Laminated glass

Laminated glass is produced by permanently bonding two pieces of glass together with a tough plastic interlayer (polyvinyl butyral) under heat and pressure. The interlayer material is invisible when viewed through the glass. With glass on either side, the finished lite is indistinguishable from monolithis glass when installed in a frame. Most often, laminated glass is produced from annealed glass, but heat strengthened or tempered can be used when special performance needs are required. Polyvinyl butyral (or PVB) is a resinusually used for applications that require strong binding, optical clarity, adhesion to many surfaces, toughness and flexibility. It is prepared from polyvinyl alcoholby reaction with butyraldehyde. The major application is for laminated safety glass for automobile windshields and constructions. Features: Laminated glass is formed as s sandwich of 2 sheets of glass bonded to a tough and thermoplastic polyvinyl butyral (PVB) interlayer. It is also a safety material against destroy and theft without frament splashing down when broken. Applications: Furniture Architecture Windows and skylights Show windlows and showcases Water tanks and observation windows of swimming pools
