Glass Q&A Can we use Laminated Glass for Shower Doors

Glass Q&A: Can we use Laminated Glass for Shower Doors?

Glass Questions
There is a glass question asked in YAHOO ANSWERS:
Can we use Laminated Glass for Shower Doors?
We are setting up a small hotel where we have decided to use glass shower doors for its bathrooms. Initially we were set to use tempered glass for the doors, but found that tempered glass is not available locally and has to be shipped from West Malaysia, making it very expensive. We have been asked to use laminated glass instead, which is widely available here in East Malaysia. But is laminated glass strength appropriate for bathroom use?
Thanks, comments are most appreciated. 🙂

Glass Answers
Here is my comments:
Yes, you can use the laminated glass in shower door. Actually many people have done this. And there are two types of laminated glass, PVB laminated glass and EVA laminated glass. I suggest you use the EVA laminated glass, because EVA laminated glass is better at moisture resistance.
And We have the special type of CNCGLASS EVA film for laminated glass that is good at alkalinity environment resistance, and our JADE WHITE CNC GLASS film is translucent, light can pass through, but people can not see through (privacy protected), very good at show door implication.
If you have any glass questions, please feel free to talk with us.

There is a photos tweeted by many people in China Weibo, it’s a ark work of glass.
People call it the Vulnerable artwork.
The glass arkwork is very beautiful.

TOPEST DNA GLASS BUILDING IN DUBAI

THE TOPEST DNA GLASS BUILDING IN DUBAI IS FINISHED.

Peter Lin

The inspiration fo the building is from human being DNA.
The height is 310 meter. And it has 73 floors.
From the photos of the glass building, we see there are a lot of safety laminated glass was used.
For the top building, safety laminated glass is required to used in windows and outside glass.

There are two kinds of laminated glass, one is EVA laminated glass, the other is PVB laminated glass.

The important property of EVA laminated glass or PVB laminated glass is the safety properties.
If the glass is broken. They will stick together, no spare parts will fall to hurt people.

Laminated glass is very important for architecture design.

+Glass Industrial Autoclaves are pressure vessels used to process glasses and polymer materials which require exposure to elevated pressure and temperature. The manufacture of high-performance components from advanced composites often requires autoclave processing.

+Vacuum
Parts processed in an autoclave are often silicone vacuum bagged to enable the pressure to operate isostatically on the workpieces. In simplest form, the workload is fully contained inside a loosely fitting silicone bag made of resilient plastic capable of withstanding the temperatures involved. When vacuum is drawn, the bag is compressed by atmospheric pressure and compacts the components inside. Between the parts and the bag, an absorbent material provides a channel for the evacuation of the air and wicks up the excess resin squeezed out during curing.

+In autoclave processing of composite parts, the SILICONE vacuum bag functionality may be where the greatest variety may be found. Some manufacturers will leave the bag under full vacuum from lay-up to post-cure tear-down. Others will hold the silicone vacuum bag only until the autoclave reaches full pressure. Yet others will back-fill the silicone vacuum bag with inert gas, typically nitrogen, at zero pressure.The role played by the silicone vacuum bag’s internal pressure can be critical in the consistent production of high-quality PVB Laminated Glass.

+Polyvinyl butyral (or PVB) is a resin often adopted for applications that require strong binding, optical clarity, adhesion to many surfaces(organic or non organic sheets), toughness, great tensile strength and flexibility. It is prepared from polyvinyl alcohol by reaction with butyraldehyde. The major application is laminated safety glass for automobile windshields. Tradenames for PVB-films include GlasNovations, Butacite, Saflex, S-Lec, CNCnext and Trosifol.

+Laminated glass is a type of safety glass that holds together when shattered. In the event of breaking, it is held in place by an strong polymer interlayer, typically of polyvinyl butyral (PVB) or EVA Film, between its two or more layers of glass. The PVB interlayer keeps the layers of glass bonded even when broken, and The high strength of cross-linked PVB interlayer prevents the glass from breaking up into large sharp pieces. This produces a characteristic “spider web” cracking pattern when the impact is not enough to completely pierce the laminated glass.

+There are several laminated glass manufacturing processes:
-using two or more pieces of glass bonded between one or more pieces of plasticized polyvinyl butyric resin using heat and pressure .
-using two or more pieces of glass and polycarbonate, bonded together with aliphatic urethane interlayers under heat and pressure.
-interlaid with a cured resin.
Each manufacturing process may include glass lites of equal or unequal thickness.

+Bent Laminated Glass:
When making Bent laminated glass with Polyvinyl Butyral PVB film, like car windshield glass, car windows etc, you will need silicone bag for vacuuming. Bent and curved glass is often used for automotive glass and marine glass installations.
