44.2 Clear Laminated Glass, Safety, Various Thicknesses and Colors are Available, Cut-size

Model Number: LG0004 Key Specifications/Special Features: Laminated glass is produced by permanently bonding two piecesof glass together with a tough plastic inter-layer (polyvinylbutyral) under heat and pressureThe inter-layer material is invisible when viewed through theglassWith glass on either side, the finished lite isindistinguishable from monolithis glass when installed in aframeMost often, laminated glass is produced from annealed glass,but heat strengthened or tempered can be used when specialperformance needs are requiredPolyvinyl butyral (or PVB) is a resin usually used forapplications that require strong binding, optical clarity, adhesionto many surfaces, toughness and flexibilityIt is prepared from polyvinyl alcohol by reaction withbutyraldehydeThe major application is for laminated safety glass forautomobile windshields and constructions

Laminated glass is a combination of two or more glass sheetswith one or more inter-layers of plastic (PVB) or resin

In case of breakage, the inter-layer holds the fragmentstogether and continues to provide resistance to the passage ofpersons or objects

This glass is particularly suitable where it is important toensure the resistance of the whole sheet after breakage such as:shop-fronts, balconies, stair-railings and roof glazing

Production there are two types of laminated glass: PVB andresin laminated glass: PVB laminated glass is two or more sheets ofglass which are bonded together with one or more layers (PVB) underheat and pressure to form a single piece

Resins laminated glass is manufactured by pouring liquid resininto the cavity between two sheets of glass which are held togetheruntil the resin cures

Features:

• Laminated glass is formed as s sandwich of 2 sheets of glassbonded to a tough and thermoplastic polyvinyl butyral (PVB)interlayer
• It is also a safety material against destroy and theft withoutfragment splashing down when broken

Applications:

• Furniture
• Architecture
• Windows and skylights
