Secure

In safety glass, the glass is protected from possible spillage by a safety film that is placed between the layers of glass. This film plays a key role in providing additional protection and safety in case of glass damage. Here are some details about it:

Safety film: Security film, used in safety glass, is usually made of polymeric materials such as polycarbonate or polyvinyl butyral (PVB). It is a flexible and durable layer sandwiched between two or more layers of glass.
Enhanced safety: The safety film acts as an additional barrier that holds pieces of glass together in case of damage or breakage. As a result, even if the glass is broken, the pieces of glass do not scatter and do not pose the same danger to people nearby.
Break-in resistance: Glass with security film is harder to break, making it more resistant to burglary. This increases the level of security in case of attempted theft or burglary.
Weather protection: Glass with a security film is also more resistant to weather conditions such as high winds and hail. Even if the glass is damaged by an impact, the film holds it together, reducing the effects of damage and preventing water from entering the building.
Reducing the risk of injury: With this film, the risk of injury from contact with sharp pieces of glass is significantly reduced. This is especially important in places where there is a potential risk of glass damage, such as schools, public facilities and public buildings.

Glass with security film is widely used in commercial and residential construction for its safety and security features. If damaged or broken, they remain integral, protecting both property and people from potential damage.

Safety glass after breakage

The breakage of safety (laminated) glass looks significantly different from that of ordinary glass. When laminated glass breaks, it does not shatter into loose, sharp fragments. Instead, the damaged glass usually remains adhered to a transparent PVB (polyvinyl butyral) film, which acts as an adhesive between the layers of glass. The most important features of broken safety glass can be found below:

Cobweb of cracks: When such glass is struck, cracks are formed that spread radially and concentrically, forming a spider web-like pattern. The cracks are usually very dense at the point of impact, thinning at the periphery.
The shards remain in place: Shards of glass do not fly away, as is typical with broken ordinary glass. Instead, each piece remains attached to the film, maintaining the relative integrity of the entire glass.
Slight deformation: The impact site may show some deformation, where the glass is more concave or convex depending on the force and angle of impact.
Transparency despite damage: Despite numerous cracks, the glass still remains mostly transparent, although its clarity is reduced in areas of damage.
