SIG® Laminated Glass

Code: 108

SIG's Laminated Glass is a type of safety glazing material engineered for enhanced security and occupant protection. It comprises multiple glass panels joined together with a resilient plastic interlayer, typically polyvinyl butyral (PVB). This composite structure offers numerous advantages. In the event of breakage, the interlayer retains the glass fragments, mitigating the risk of injury from falling shards and enhancing ballistic resistance. Laminated glass can also be formulated to incorporate UV filtering capabilities and dampen sound transmission.

A symphony of strength and safety

production: The union of Glass and interlayers   
Glass Selection: The foundation can be clear, tinted, or reflective glass, chosen based on appearance and performance.
Interlayer Selection: Polyvinyl Butyral (PVB) is the most common interlayer, known for clarity and UV resistance. Other options like thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) or ethylene-vinyl acetate (EVA) offer enhanced sound dampening or fire resistance.
Cleaning and Pre-treatment: Glass panes and interlayers undergo thorough cleaning to remove contaminants, ensuring proper adhesion and clarity. Pre-treatment of the interlayer may further improve bonding.
Lamination Process: The glass and interlayer are assembled in a clean environment. Heat and pressure bond them with minimal optical distortion.
Autoclave Curing: Thicker laminates or specialized interlayers undergo additional curing in an autoclave, strengthening the bond and performance.
Key Properties and Features:

SIG's laminated glass offers enhanced safety by holding fractured glass together on impact, minimizing injury risks, making it ideal for facades, balustrades, and enclosures. It also improves security by resisting forced entry, deterring break-ins. Additionally, the interlayer dampens sound for acoustic control in noisy areas and provides UV protection, blocking harmful rays to reduce interior fading.

Applications: Prioritizing Safety and Performance

  • Building Exteriors: SIG's laminated glass is often used for building facades, curtain walls, skylights, and canopies. It offers enhanced safety, improves sound insulation, and may provide UV protection for building occupants.
  • Interior Glazing: SIG's laminated glass finds application for partitions, railings, and glass doors within buildings. It enhances safety in high-traffic areas, reduces noise transmission, and can be used for security purposes.
  • Automotive Applications: Windshields in modern vehicles are typically constructed from SIG's laminated glass for enhanced occupant safety in the event of an accident.
  • Architectural Features: SIG's laminated glass can be incorporated into staircases, walkways, and balconies to provide a visually appealing element while prioritizing safety for those using the space.
  • Security-Sensitive Applications: SIG's laminated glass with thicker interlayers or specific interlayer materials can be used for display cases in museums or jewelry stores, offering increased security for valuable items.

In conclusion, SIG's laminated glass transcends the limitations of conventional float glass by prioritizing safety and performance. Through its unique combination of strength, sound dampening, UV protection, and enhanced security, SIG's laminated glass caters to diverse applications in architecture, construction, and security-conscious environments.
