Bandit Resistance

By increasing the thickness of the PVB interlayer or glass, the product is able to withstand penetration by people attempting to rob or cause damage to property or premises.  This product is particularly suitable where valuable items are sold or stored, such as in jewelry shops or banks.

 

 

Smart-Safe laminated safety glass is manufactured by bonding together two or more panes of high quality float glass with a tough plastic interlayer known as Poly Vinyl Butyral (PVB) under a heat and pressure process.  This gives the user many benefits, which are as follows:

 

Safety

Even when broken, Smart-Lam laminated safety glass stays firmly in place as it is bonded to the PVB interlayer.  This means that there are no flying shards of glass that can cause death or injury to people in the vicinity.  As the glass stays in place in the frame even after being cracked, it also remains weather tight.  This means that the glass can be left in place and replaced when convenient.

 

 

Blast resistance  

Unfortunately for us all, bomb attacks are frequent occurrences in many parts of the world.  Smart-Lam laminated glass can help to reduce the injuries caused by the actual explosions themselves, as well as the injuries caused by the broken shards of glass flying out of a building and injuring people.  Obviously some buildings may be more of a target than others, however with indiscriminate terrorist attacks from the likes of suicide bombers or car bombs, all buildings can be at risk.
