Bulletin - The ORIGINAL only by Kuraray. SentryGlas® ionoplast interlayer and SentryGlas® Xtra™ ionoplast interlayer.
Kuraray – Trosifol® - SentryGlas®
entryGlas® ionoplast interlayer was developed in 1998 by the DuPont company to meet the requirements of the hurricane impact glazing market after Hurricane Andrew. SentryGlas® has since come to be recognized as a
high performance interlayer for structural and security laminated glass.
Bulletin: Blast performance of laminated glass
Kuraray – Trosifol® - SentryGlas®
Blast performance of laminated glass Kuraray Advanced Interlayer Solutions. Blast performance of laminated glass
In blast-resistant glazing materials and systems, laminated glass can be used to reduce the hazards associated with an explosion. Laminates made
with Trosifol® PVB or SentryGlas® ionoplast interlayers are typically used in window, door, curtain wall, and storefront systems designed to provide a higher level of performance than standard systems. Shock tube and arena test results support the use of both PVB and ionoplast interlayers in blastresistant glazing. This bulletin summarizes blast resistance test results for glazing systems made with Trosifol® PVB and SentryGlas® ionoplast interlayers.
Glass construction Classification according to EN16612:2019 and EN16613:2019 - Simplified method
Kuraray – Trosifol® - SentryGlas®
This document provides the technical data for Trosifol® PVB and SentryGlas® ionoplast interlayers which is required in the two following European codes: EN16612:2019
and EN16613:2019 The data provided allows the calculation of laminated glass stress and deformation according to the
simplified method as described in Annex D of EN16612:2019. This method allows to calculate the equivalent thickness of a specific laminated glass
make-up using a factor ω which characterizes the coupling characteristics of the interlayer. This factor can vary between 0 (no coupling) and 1 (full coupling).
Since the coupling function of the interlayer is time and temperature dependent, the method also defines 12 load cases for which the ω factors are shown
Hurricane Glazing
Kuraray – Trosifol® - SentryGlas®
Severe weather events such as hurricanes, cyclones, typhoons and tornados are capable of producing
damaging windborne debris. Windborne debris has the potential to penetrate buildings and once the building envelope has been compromised the level of damage greatly increases. The use of hurricane impact windows is one critical component of the building that can greatly improve the resiliency of the building to extreme weather.
Post Breakage Strength Testing for Overhead Laminated Glass.
Kuraray – Trosifol® - SentryGlas®
Design and structural performance of laminated glass in over-head glazing applications like canopies, skylights is very critical as it has an impact on the safety of occupants of a building and its maintenance workers. For such applications post breakage strength of laminated glass construction is of utmost importance.
Salt spray testing harsh but necessary to reinforce peace of mind for interlayer capabilities.
Kuraray – Trosifol® - SentryGlas®
As a result of the testing regimen, Trosifol is recommending its Trosifol® UltraClear High Adhesion PVB interlayer for laminated glass applications with exposed edges to the environment, due to its high edge stability. For structural applications, such as balustrades, point-fixed façades, canopies, etc., with exposed edges in a coastal environment and, critically, where post-breakage strength is also vital, SentryGlas® is the recommended interlayer for its high edge stability and stiffness.

Interlayer strength, depth and capabilities
SentryGlas® Xtra (SGX) is the latest generation SentryGlas® interlayer designed to improve lamination performance and efficiency.
Kuraray – Trosifol® - SentryGlas®
SGX has robust adhesion to the air side of glass without the need for primer making lamination of multi ply laminates easier. SGX optical performance and haze formation are much less sensitive to the autoclave cooling rate giving peace of mind to the laminator that the final laminate will have consistently high quality. The lower haze also makes producing very thick laminates of outstanding optical quality easily achievable. SGX complies with global safety glazing codes such as ANSI Z97.1, EN14449, EN12543, EN12600, EN356 and Safety Glazing Certification Council (SGCC). Properly laminated and installed SGX laminates of 2.53 mm caliper have been tested and pass the large missile impact test per ASTM E 1996.
Smart sheets for selecting the right glass combination for glass floorings and walkways
Kuraray – Trosifol® - SentryGlas®
Making the glass flooring with the combination of HS and FT glass is certainly the most ideal glass combination that not only ensures good resistance to accidental impacts but,
also a high post breakage strength. However, below factors give an all FT glass combination an edge over HS–FT glass combination.
Sound attenuation with laminated safety glass.
Kuraray – Trosifol® - SentryGlas®
Sound attenuation with laminated safety glass
In densely populated areas, noise is almost omnipresent: from traffic on the road, on rail and overhead in the air. Noise is also caused by production plants and construction on buildings and bridges. Even music from radios and concert halls or blaring television sets can often be annoying and even cause illness. It is only when we take a walk in the mountains or through a peaceful forest on
the weekend or on holiday that we notice just how much we are normally exposed to noise.

Trosifol® Bullet resistant glazing
Kuraray – Trosifol® - SentryGlas®
SentryGlas® ionoplast interlayers, Trosifol® PVB interlayers and Trosifol®
Spallshield® CPET composites are used in a variety of architectural and
automotive applications where resistance to bullet penetration and
spall is desirable. When properly designed and manufactured, glass
laminates made with these interlayer products can meet ballisticsresistance test standards in constructions that are lighter-weight, thinner and more durable than traditional all-glass and glass-clad polycarbonate alternatives
Trosifol® CPet Spall Shield
Kuraray – Trosifol® - SentryGlas®
Trosifol® Spallshield® CPET is a two layer composite structure of PET/hardcoat. The hardcoat is highly durable, chemically resistant, and virtually indistinguishable from glass. Trosifol® Spallshield® CPET provides superior lightweight anti-spall properties to glazing structures.
Trosifol® PVB Interlayers
Kuraray – Trosifol® - SentryGlas®
Kuraray offers the broadest portfolio in the industry with our Trosifol® PVB and SentryGlas® ionoplast
interlayers. Polyvinyl Butyral, PVB, has been the preferred interlayer material for laminated safety glass since the late 1920s. While the basic formulation has not changed, Trosifol® PVB interlayer has continued to evolve and improve its characteristics.
Trosifol® Security Glazing
Kuraray – Trosifol® - SentryGlas®
Architects are incorporating more glass in buildings for better aesthetics,
improved daylighting, and occupancy comfort. Despite these benefits,
glass is also the most vulnerable component of the building envelope when
it comes to attacks by intruders. The use of laminated glass not only offers
improved safety, but also can help to prevent intrusion. Laminated glass
can be designed for enhanced performance beyond basic safety to provide burglary and forced entry resistance, as well as bullet resistance.
Trosifol® SentryGlas
Kuraray – Trosifol® - SentryGlas®
The SentryGlas® interlayer from the Trosifol® Structural product familiy is five times stronger and up to 100 times stiffer than conventional laminating materials. With this kind
of strength the glass can be a more active structural element in the building envelope,
opening up design possibilities that didn't exist before. Besides its strength, SentryGlas®
ionoplast interlayer retains its clarity even after years of service. Unlike other interlayers,
SentryGlas® ionoplast interlayer is much less vulnerable to moisture exposure or yellowing
over time.
Trosifol® Spallshield CPEt
Kuraray – Trosifol® - SentryGlas®
The PET and hardcoat help provide an inner shield to protect occupants from glass spalling and lacerations. Spalling is the term used to describe the action of glass splintering
and flying inward after the glazing is struck by an object or bullet from the outside.
Trosifol® Spallshield® CPET helps create a protective barrier between people and glass.
Because Trosifol® Spallshield® CPET laminates are glass/plastic all of the best features of
glass are combined with those of plastic. The result is a glazing which is very lightweight, thin, and strong.
