In situations where the harmful, degrading, and color-fading effects of UV rays are undesirable, special UV-blocking PVB layers must be used. Although standard laminated glass provides some level of UV filtration compared to regular glass, it does not offer sufficient protection. Alcam offers solutions with TROSIFOL UV PROTECT, which eliminates the damaging effects of UV rays entirely.

Alcam’s experience and expertise

In the lamination process, two or more glass panes, with interlayers placed between them, are bonded under high heat and pressure. The interlayers can be made of PVB or ionoplast (SGP). In the specially climate-controlled Lamination Room, where temperature and humidity are continuously monitored, the glass with PVB or SGP interlayers undergoes preheating and bonding. Afterward, they are laminated in autoclave furnaces at the appropriate heat and pressure based on the type, thickness, and interlayer material of the glass.
