What is Laminated Glass? Laminated glass is a safety and security glass that is made by sandwiching a laminated sheet between two pieces of glass. The laminated sheet is usually polyvinyl butryl (PVB) sheet. The PVB sheet in the middle of the glass helps in sticking the glass pieces to it when the glass is broken. The laminated glass is designed to prevent it from shattering into pieces and thus ensures safety. What are the characteristics of Laminated glass? Laminated glass is made by sandwiching PVB sheet between two panes of glass. They are sealed by a series of pressure rollers and then autoclaved. During the manufacturing process of laminated glass, mechanical and chemical bonding is developed between the PVB sheet and the glass. The adhesive nature of PVB creates the mechanical bond and the hydrogen bonding between PVB and glass is the reason for chemical bonding. Because of the chemical bonding of PVB with glass, even when there is any breakage, the laminated glass remains intact. What are the benefits of Laminated Glass? Laminated glass remains intact when broken, protecting people from injury. Laminated glass is very safe in overhead glazing The PVB interlayer material has viscoelastic property which in turn helps in the reduction of sound acoustic insulation Laminated glass reduces transmission of UV rays and hence protects the furniture from fading It is durable and maintains color and strength for a much longer time The installation of laminated glass is similar to any other type of glass What are the applications of Laminated glass? Laminated glass is widely used in building and housing products It is used in automotive and transport industries Laminated glass is mostly used in building facades and car windscreens It plays a major role in overhead glazing like skylights, glass ceilings and roofs Laminated glass can also be used in houses.
