Description

About This Program

Laminated glass is used in many different applications requiring different performance attributes. Glass makeups for structural, decorative, acoustic, security, ballistics, and safety can be tailored to achieve optimum properties. Interlayer properties that contribute to desired performance and tools to help select the appropriate interlayer will be described. Once an interlayer is selected, it must be specified properly and architectural specifications for the different interlayers will be discussed and provided.

Session Takeaways

Identify different reasons why laminated glass is used
Understand properties of interlayers that make them best suited for specific applications
Review tools that can be used to select the appropriate interlayer for different applications
Specify the interlayer once it is selected
