SentryGlas celebrates 25th years of making glass panes stronger

Today, SentryGlas is used worldwide for laminated glass facades, glass roofs, windows, doors, railings and many other glass applications. With the highest residual load-bearing capacity over a wide temperature and load range after the glass laminate has broken, there is hardly any other laminated film.

In more than 25 years, the use of SentryGlas ionoplast has expanded significantly as building engineers have realised that the performance benefits developed for hurricane applications can also benefit many other aspects of a building, including facades, overhead glazing, railings, doors and partitions.

Optimised for light-coloured, low-iron security glazing

Due to their high clarity, SentryGlas ionoplast interlayers also enable constructions and designs to be realised in low-iron safety glass. The SentryGlas Translucent White ionoplast interlayer combines all the technical advantages and structural properties of SentryGlas with a variety of white colour transmissions, providing an appealing aesthetic, the basis for attractive lighting effects and giving architects and planners much more freedom in their designs.

SentryGlas Translucent White is suitable for both commercial and residential applications and offers excellent durability and edge stability, even in extreme weather conditions, as well as outstanding performance after breakage, as the developers emphasise.

Beware of counterfeits - nothing beats the original SentryGlas

Products with outstanding properties are unfortunately often copied and, as imitations, never achieve the high quality standards and performance of the original, according to those responsible at the supplier. Many manufacturers produce glass interlayers that do not have the same properties as SentryGlas, but use the name "SGP". This gives the impression that they are Kuraray interlayers in order to capitalise on the quality and reputation of the SentryGlas brand and confuse the market.

Kuraray has consolidated the references for SentryGlas products as "SG" and obtained a US trademark registration for SG. To avoid confusion, the correct term SG should be used when asking for or referring to genuine SentryGlas interlayers.

Film manufacturer Kuraray attaches great importance to the trust of its customers and takes action against any infringement and deception in the unlawful use of its registered trademarks and brands.

This is what the next generation of films looks like

In addition to SentryGlas, Kuraray is also producing the next generation of the product line, SentryGlas Xtra (SGX). This interlayer pushes the boundaries of optics and transparency in laminated glass even further.
