Glaslamineret

Glaslamineret refers to a composite material or process involving glass and lamination. It is most commonly associated with safety glass, specifically laminated glass. In this context, glasslamineret describes the construction of multiple layers of glass bonded together by an interlayer, typically polyvinyl butyral (PVB). When laminated glass is subjected to impact, the glass layers may fracture, but the interlayer helps to hold the fragments together, preventing them from shattering and scattering. This property makes it significantly safer than monolithic glass in applications where breakage could pose a hazard.

The production of glasslamineret involves placing the interlayer material between two or more sheets of glass. This assembly is then heated and pressed under controlled conditions to achieve a strong and durable bond between the glass and the interlayer. The thickness and type of both the glass and the interlayer can be varied to achieve specific performance characteristics, such as increased strength, improved sound insulation, or enhanced security.

Applications for glasslamineret are widespread. It is used in automotive windshields, architectural glazing such as windows and doors in buildings, skylights, and balustrades. Its safety features are also utilized in display cases, protective barriers, and even in some electronic displays where impact resistance is important. The transparency of glass is maintained while incorporating enhanced safety and security benefits.
