Anti-Spall Glazing Solutions

Glass-Gard Anti-Spall Laminates & Interlayers

Glass-Gard is designed to support performance-critical glazing systems where glass must do more than provide visibility. When combined with glass and PVB through standard lamination processes, Glass-Gard helps increase the overall strength of the final glass construction while adding an interior protective layer.

Built for Protective Glazing Applications

Glass-Gard's PVB layer helps reduce the risk of dangerous glass fragments during impact events, including forced entry attempts, ballistic threats, severe weather, vandalism, debris, accidents, or collisions. Glass-Gard can be used with monolithic or laminated glass systems to add strength, improve safety performance, and support long-term durability in demanding environments.

What to Expect from Glass-Gard

Madico offers Glass-Gard anti-spall laminates and interlayers in 7 mil and 15 mil options to support different performance needs. The 7 mil option is designed for typical safety and anti-spall applications, while the 15 mil option provides added strength and performance for higher-risk applications.

Glass-Gard is designed for ease of fabrication and can be integrated into standard lamination processes using typical autoclave or lamination oven equipment. It can be used with any brand PVB, giving OEM glass fabricators flexibility when selecting materials and building glass constructions.

Laminados Glass-Gard Anti-Spall

Opções de 7MIL e 15MIL

A Madico oferece os laminados anti-queda Glass-Gard em duas espessuras para o ajudar a obter o desempenho do vidro necessário para os padrões actuais. O nosso laminado de 7MIL foi concebido para o anti-spall típico e a resistência adicional que se vê habitualmente na indústria e o nosso laminado de 15MIL oferece resistência e desempenho adicionais para aplicações de maior risco.

Facilidade de fabrico

O processo de fabrico dos laminados Glass-Gard pode ser efectuado com equipamento de laminação normal. Os nossos laminados são utilizados por muitos clientes tanto em sistemas de autoclave como em fornos de laminação, exigindo muito pouca ou nenhuma modificação no processo de laminação.

Não há Spall

Quando o vidro sofre o impacto de um objeto, os pedaços de vidro podem ser perigosos para as pessoas no interior de edifícios, veículos ou transportes públicos. Os laminados anti-estilhaçamento Glass-Gard são uma camada protetora entre o vidro e as pessoas.

Camada de peso leve

Os laminados anti-estilhaço da Glass-Gard são uma solução leve e eficiente para aumentar a resistência do sistema de vidro em geral. Através de vários testes, o nosso laminado anti-estilhaçamento tem ajudado os nossos clientes a reduzir o peso e a espessura das suas composições de vidro em geral.

Utilizado com PVB de qualquer marca

Como um fabricante de vidro OEM, você quer opções quando se trata de seus fornecedores. Os produtos Glass-Gard da Madico são preparados de um lado para aumentar a adesão e podem ser usados com PVB de qualquer marca.

Resistência e durabilidade

A força dos laminados anti-estilhaço Glass-Gard, quando combinados com PVB, reside na sua capacidade de resistir a impactos de alta velocidade, dispersando a energia e minimizando o risco. Os nossos laminados utilizam o revestimento duro da Madico, comprovadamente resistente a químicos e a riscos, que oferece propriedades semelhantes às do vidro.

Where Glass-Gard Anti-Spall Laminates & Interlayers Are Used

Glass-Gard is designed to support performance-critical glazing systems where glass must do more than provide visibility. When combined with glass and PVB through standard lamination processes, Glass-Gard helps increase the overall strength of the final glass construction while adding an interior protective layer.

.

Bullet-Resistant Glazing

In bullet-resistant glass systems, Glass-Gard can be used as part of a multi-layer protective construction to help improve overall glass strength and reduce spall formation. When the glass is impacted, the anti-spall layer helps contain fragmentation and minimize the risk of glass shards dispersing toward occupants.

Glass-Gard provides an additional protective layer within the glazing system, helping support ballistic performance while allowing fabricators to build stronger, more efficient laminated glass constructions.

Vidros resistentes a entradas forçadas

Glass-Gard helps strengthen windows and glass doors against unauthorized entry attempts. When subjected to forceful impacts, such as attempted break-ins or vandalism, the anti-spall layer helps hold the glass together and reduce dangerous fragmentation.

By helping contain broken glass and support impact resistance, Glass-Gard contributes to safer, more secure spaces for commercial buildings, government facilities, schools, storefronts, and other vulnerable locations.

.

Storm-Resistant Glazing

Storm-resistant glazing requires materials that can help withstand severe weather, flying debris, and high-impact conditions. Glass-Gard adds a protective layer that helps hold glass together during impact events, reducing the risk of dangerous shards dispersing into occupied spaces.

For buildings in hurricane-prone or high-risk weather regions, Glass-Gard can support both structural protection and occupant safety while maintaining the transparency and visibility expected from protective glazing systems.

.

Vidros para transportes públicos

Glass-Gard can help improve safety in public transportation vehicles, including buses, trains, and other transit applications. In the event of impact, accident, vandalism, or flying debris, the anti-spall layer helps contain glass fragments and reduce the risk of injury to passengers. For transportation authorities and vehicle manufacturers, Glass-Gard offers an added layer of protection that supports passenger safety, vehicle durability, and confidence in demanding public-use environments.

Vidros para automóveis

In automotive glazing systems, Glass-Gard can help enhance passenger protection by adding strength and durability to laminated glass. During accidents, collisions, rollovers, or impact events, the anti-spall layer helps hold the glass together and reduce the likelihood of hazardous glass fragments entering the vehicle interior.

Glass-Gard can support windshield, side window, and large sunroof applications where additional safety performance and impact resistance are important.

Architectural glazing with Glass-Gard can help improve building safety while preserving transparency, natural light, and design flexibility. It can be used in commercial buildings, healthcare facilities, government buildings, residential spaces, and other applications where additional glass strength and protection are required. Beyond safety performance, Glass-Gard also supports decorative and design-driven applications. Glass-Gard interlayers can be printed on directly, allowing for colors, patterns, gradients, branding, privacy effects, and other custom architectural glass designs.
