DG41

Code: 507620000

DG structural interlayer is a tough, resilient film produced from plasticized polyvinyl butyral (PVB). It is designed specifically as an interlayer for applications where increased interlayer rigidity and high glass adhesion are required relative to standard glazing interlayers. DG provides superior structural capacity versus standard PVB interlayers and is designed with ease of processing in mind.

Laminated glass as a building material has experienced a striking upsurge in recent years as glass use in facades and interiors has become so coveted. Tempered glass produced to meet the human impact requirements has been used for years. The awareness and risk of sudden rupture, failure and fall-out caused by nickel sulfide inclusions, processing or installation has been heightened by coverage in glazing industry trade journals. Although tempered glass has been traditionally used for its load strength and safe break characteristic, the fragmentation upon breakage that showers from tall buildings can become dangerous and affect pedestrian well being, cause vehicular damage and even close down passageways and roadways for long durations. This can affect retail, hospitality and in some cases emergency services.

DG combines the benefits of a rigid interlayer with the features of glass containment, UV screening, edge stability, clarity and noise abatement.
