It is the name given to the glass obtained by joining two or more glass plates together using PVB (Polyvinyl Butyral) through heat and pressure. PVB is a type of resin used in special applications requiring strong bonding, optical clarity, adhesion to many surfaces, durability and flexibility.
PVB is also a protective layer and is quite flexible. When it is combined with glass layers, it gains a completely transparent appearance. This polymer layer is quite strong. Therefore, even if the glass is broken, the fracture that occurs on one of the glass plates does not affect the other plate and prevents the broken pieces from falling by holding them on top.
The main application areas are security and automobile glasses. Various colors and thicknesses can be selected in glass and interlayers to obtain the desired appearance. Laminated glass is generally known as “Safety Glass”. In addition to this feature, it also provides sound insulation. Tempering process is applied to laminated glass to provide higher strength.
They can be used in all areas requiring high security and protection such as store windows, building facades, glass floors and glass stairs.
