Laminated glass is considered to be a safety glass because when it breaks, the broken pieces tend to adhere to the plastic interlayer, reducing the risk of injury from sharp glass shards.
Laminated glass is a type of safety glass that holds together when shattered. It consists of two or more layers of glass bonded with a strong plastic interlayer, polyvinyl butyral (PVB). The layers of glass and PVB are typically held together by heat and pressure in an autoclave curing process. Laminated glass has a number of characteristics which make it popular for use in many applications. Laminated glass is often used in automotive, architecture, and furniture applications due to its strength and flexibility.
The plastic interlayer in laminated glass helps to reduce noise transmission, making it an excellent choice for use in areas with high levels of noise pollution.
Laminated glass can help protect against harmful UV radiation, which can cause damage to furniture, flooring, and other interior finishes .
