Introduce the safety of laminated glass
Information summary:Laminated glass is a type of glass product with high safety, which is made by sandwiching transparent polyvinyl butyral (PVB) or other intermediate films between two or more pieces of glass and processing them under high temperature and high pressure. Its safety is mainly reflected in the following aspects:
Laminated glass is a type of glass product with high safety, which is made by sandwiching transparent polyvinyl butyral (PVB) or other intermediate films between two or more pieces of glass and processing them under high temperature and high pressure. Its safety is mainly reflected in the following aspects:
1. Strong impact resistance: Due to the presence of the intermediate film, laminated glass has higher strength and impact resistance than ordinary glass. When subjected to external impact, the intermediate film can absorb and disperse the impact force, making the glass less prone to breakage, thereby reducing the risk of personal injury and property damage caused by glass breakage. For example, in application scenarios such as building doors and windows, car windshields, laminated glass can effectively resist the impact of flying objects, ensuring the safety of indoor personnel and passengers inside the car.
2. It is not easy to splash and injure people after breakage: When ordinary glass is broken, it will form sharp fragments, which can easily cause serious injuries to surrounding personnel. When laminated glass is broken, the intermediate film will bond the broken glass fragments together, keeping them intact and preventing them from splashing around. This feature is particularly important in fields such as construction and transportation, greatly reducing accidental injuries caused by glass breakage and splashing.
3. It has anti-theft performance: The high strength and impact resistance of laminated glass make it have a certain anti-theft function. Thieves find it difficult to easily break through laminated glass and enter indoors, which increases the difficulty of theft. Some banks, jewelry stores, and other places with high safety requirements often use laminated glass as door and window glass to improve the safety of the place.
4. Good sound insulation performance: The intermediate film can effectively block the propagation of sound, making laminated glass have good sound insulation effect. In noisy environments such as buildings near roads or airplane runways, using laminated glass can significantly reduce the interference of external noise, create a relatively quiet indoor environment for people, and improve the comfort of life and work.
5. UV protection performance: Some laminated glass intermediate films have a certain UV protection function, which can effectively block the penetration of ultraviolet rays, reduce the fading and aging effects of ultraviolet rays on indoor items such as furniture, fabrics, artworks, etc., and also protect indoor personnel from UV damage.
