HUNDREDS OF TIMES THE STIFFNESS, THINNER LAMINATES, INCREASED SAFETY
SentryGlas® interlayers are significantly stiffer than those made from traditional PVB. Under the same load ensures the possibility of reducing the thickness without sacrificing safety. Thanks, Sentry Glas offers architects exciting perspectives and new creative scopes.
SentryGlas® interlayers are up to 100 times stiffer and 5 times stronger than traditional PVB interlayers.
EDGE STABILITY, WEATHER RESISTANCE AND TRANSPARENCY FOR MANY YEARS
Compared to conventional interlayers, SentryGlas® is less sensitive to moisture and weathering at temperatures between -30 °C and +70 °C.
In conjunction with standard silicone sealants, butt-jointed glass plates with SentryGlas® interlayers show no discoloration or other changes at the edges, even after years. SentryGlas® interlayers enable highly transparent safety glazing and universal areas of application. Your yellow value is 1.5 and below and does not increase significantly. Conventional intermediate layers, on the other hand, have a yellow value of 6 to 12.
SentryGlas® Interlayer
Structural interlayer material for storm, blast, ballistic, and single-point supported glass applications
Kuraray SentryGlas® (SG5000) and SentryGlas® XTRA™ (SGX™) (SG6000) are interlayers designed to be laminated between two or multiple layers of Glass. Initially developed for the security and hurricane glazing markets, SentryGlas® interlayers are now being specified by architects and engineers for high-performing glass applications.
SENTRYGLAS® IS WIDELY USED FOR:
Structural load-bearing glass—stairs,
flooring, walkways, canopies, SentryGlas® Interlayer Properties, and Material Options
SentryGlas® (SG5000)– interlayer is stronger and more rigid than conventional laminating materials, creating safety glass that protects against storms, impacts, and blasts. The interlayers become an engineered component within the Glass, holding more weight. The Glass can serve as a more active structural element in the building envelope, increasing framing system design freedom. SentryGlas® is less susceptible to moisture, weathering, and edge defects than other interlayers.
SentryGlas® XTRA™ (SGX™) (SG6000– interlayer sheet offers improved adhesion to the air side of the Glass without requiring an adhesion promoter. SGX™ optical performance and haze formation are much less sensitive to the autoclave cooling rate. The lower haze makes producing very thick laminates of outstanding visual quality easy to achieve. SGX™ complies with global safety glazing codes ANSI Z97.1, EN14449, EN12543, EN12600, EN356, and Safety Glazing Certification Council (SGCC). Properly laminated and installed, SGX™ laminates of 2.53 mm caliper have been tested and passed the significant missile impact test per ASTM E 1996.
Structural Glazing– Structural interlayer helps architects and glazed building system manufacturers meet society's need for greater security, energy efficiency, noise reduction, and safety requirements. It allows architects to do more with less, creating innovative new spaces while providing more excellent protection for occupants. SentryGlas® improves the long-term weather resistance of laminated glass systems.
Safety & Security Glazing– Interlayers are used in a broad range of safety and security applications to offer protection. When designing security glass for bullet and blast-resistant buildings or vehicles, SentryGlas® will help let light in and keep trouble out.
Decorative Glazing– There are many ways to decorate laminated safety glass using SentryGlas® interlayer by embedding a metal mesh, metalized PET fabric, or printing on a PVB interlayer.
Transportation– SentryGlas® interlayers help build lighter-weight, more fuel-efficient vehicles that withstand harsh climate conditions while ensuring passenger safety.
Tech Tip– SentryGlas® ionoplast interlayers help create safety glass that protects against more giant storms, more enormous impacts, and more powerful blasts. SentryGlas® is 5 times tougher, up to 100 times stiffer than conventional laminating materials
