Crystal clear safety thanks to DuPont SentryGlas

Laminated architectural glass is being used increasingly to meet modern safety codes and save energy through added daylighting and solar design. It also adds anti-intrusion security, sound reduction and protection from UV rays. Two common types of interlayer for laminated glass are films made of polyvinyl butyral, also called PVB, or DuPont™ SentryGlas ionoplast. The latter, developed especially for structural elements in architectural glazing, offers greater levels of clarity, is 5 times tougher and up to 100 times stiffer than PVB. Accordingly, SentryGlas is particularly well-suited to overhead glazing installations, facades, stair treads, balustrades or flooring applications.
