SentryGlasXtra (SGX) laminated glass, featuring an ionoplast interlayer by KURARAY, offers exceptional tear and break resistance. Even when both glass layers are tempered, SGX laminates prevent the “blanket effect” and completely eliminate the risk of falling, making them ideal for projects with extremely high safety and security demands. SGX provides several advantages, including higher durability than standard rigid PVB interlayers, excellent resistance to outdoor conditions, superior performance in extreme climates (very hot or cold), and the highest light transmittance among the SentryGlas PVB varieties.

During the lamination process, two or more glass sheets are bonded together under high heat and pressure, with an interlayer such as PVB or ionoplast (SGX) between them. The lamination takes place in Alcam’s climate-controlled lamination room, where temperature and humidity are consistently regulated. The glass with PVB or SGP interlayers undergoes preheating and bonding before being laminated in autoclave furnaces. The lamination process is carefully managed based on the glass type, thickness, and nature of the interlayer to ensure optimal durability and performance.

In the lamination process, two or more glass plates with a bonding layer between them are joined together under high heat and pressure. The binder layers can be PVB or ionoplast (SGX) layers. In the Laminating Room, where special air conditioning, temperature and humidity are kept under constant control, PVB or SGP is placed between the glass plates and after preheating and joining, they are laminated in autoclave ovens under appropriate temperature and pressure according to the type and thickness of the glass and the nature of the interlayer.
