Kuraray SentryGlas® high-strength interlayer’s help create laminated safety glass that protects against large storms including hurricanes, larger impacts and higher deflection loads. SentryGlas® is up to 100 times stiffer and 5 times stronger than traditional PVB interlayers, giving architects and designers the ability to do more with less, creating innovative new spaces, while providing greater protection for occupants.
Typically used when panels of toughened laminated glass are providing protection against a fall from height in high occupancy environments or where movement of people is of sufficient volume that other interlayers will not meet required potential loadings. Also, used where panels are used that weather conditions require a stiffer product to reduce/control deflection to within accepted safe standards.
Commonly found in shopping centres, sports stadia, rail and bus stations as well as airports the use of this interlayer is growing.
It is possible also to use a thinner glass makeup to provide the same protection using SentryGlas® compared to other interlayers due to its strength this should always be checked with a structural/glass engineer, however.
At CT Glass we are an approved manufacturer of laminated glass using Kuraray’s products including SentryGlas®. This requires regular testing of samples from our production by the interlayer manufacturer, but more importantly we carry out daily/batch testing that must be performed to meet regulatory standards and ensure our products are safe for use in the market.
Used in many applications from doors to balconies, glass staircases and walk on glass, shopfront glazing – including as Security/Anti Bandit glazing and many more.
