Additional Information for Laminated Glass
Laminated glass is a type of safety glass that is made by sandwiching a layer of polyvinyl butyral (PVB) between two or more layers of glass. This process creates a strong and durable glass product that is resistant to breakage and provides enhanced safety features.
The PVB layer in laminated glass acts as an adhesive, bonding the glass layers together. This design allows the glass to remain intact even when shattered, reducing the risk of injury from sharp glass shards. Laminated glass is commonly used in applications where safety is a concern, such as in automobile windshields, building windows, and glass doors.
In addition to its safety benefits, laminated glass also offers other advantages. It provides sound insulation, reducing noise transmission from outside. It also offers protection against ultraviolet (UV) radiation, helping to prevent fading and damage to interior furnishings and materials.
Laminated glass can be customized to meet specific requirements, such as different thicknesses, colors, and levels of transparency. It is available in various sizes and shapes to suit different applications.
Overall, laminated glass is a versatile and reliable material that provides both safety and aesthetic benefits, making it a popular choice in the supply class of Glass Fabricated Materials in the supply group of Nonmetallic Fabricated Materials.
