Storm and cyclone resistant interlayer for laminated glass
Saflex Storm interlayers are specifically designed and formulated to meet the exacting building requirements for laminated glass in severe wind and windborne debris markets. These are tough, resilient interlayers that provide rigidity, strength, glass adhesion, and protection against windborne debris and flying objects. Laminated glass made with Saflex Storm PVB interlayer is designed to retain glass shards in post breakage scenarios.
Saflex Storm is a composite interlayer constructed of PVB and Film. This interlayer, product code VSON, provides higher capability with regard to size and pressure versus Saflex HP along with tear resistance during cycling. The composite interlayer performs in both large and small missile applications while delivering the added benefits of forced entry resistance, acoustic control, and UV screening. It is a very high adhesion interlayer which demonstrates excellent edge stability and sealant compatibility.
Whereas no single product offers complete protect from a powerful cyclone or storm, Saflex Storm can be used to help maintain the building envelope and aid in keeping the structure intact throughout the duration of severe windstorms, and until replacement can be made of any broken or damaged glazing. In addition, Saflex Storm interlayers can be used for impact resistant glazing design of normal and essential facilities. Common large missile impact protection from a flying timber and small missile protection at higher elevations and increased wind loads can be achieved with these products.
