A short comparative discussion between PVB, EVA and NovoGlass® TPU Film Interlayers for Smart Glass constructions It has been an old dream to control the light that goes through the glass windows in such a way we can modulate the intensity of light inside our home...
About Delamination of Security Glass and Ballistic Resistant Glass Structures
It is worth to mention that it is really a complicated and difficult job to select and assemble different type of materials to end up with a perfect laminate. Knowing that any laminated structure is the assembly of different type of materials, the possibility of...
About Delamination of Security and BRG Structures. How to improve the adhesion of PC and TPU?
All laminated structures made of different materials are subjected to different type of tensions, mainly due to their physical and mechanical differences. From Materials Science we always try to minimize them facilitating their integration by making use of the...
Glass Defrost by using NovoGenio TPU Film NovoGlass®SF with an Embebed Metallic Web
The frosting effect is a physical phenomena that we see every day at home, when we open our refrigerators, and all winter seasons outside our homes covering the glasses of our vehicles, and whitening our gardens and landscape. Frost is formed when the temperature of a...
How much Energy can be saved by blocking the IR Sunlight radiation?
It is known that when sweating inside a vehicle or at home during Summer time, a large part of the heat that "beats us" comes from the strong sun radiation that goes through the windows of the vehicle or the house. "Magically" the heat has the capacity to get inside...
A brief explanation of how to extend the life of Security Glass Structures by means of the TPU interlayers
This new ArtiBlog has the intention to focus all the attention on the Graphs showing objective data about the properties TPUs should fulfill, so as to belong to a Security Glass or Bullet Resistance Glass Structure with a durable performance component. Through these...
How to block the IR wavelength range of the Sunlight Radiation for the e-glass, Security, and BRG window structures?
The heat that comes from the Sun radiation Talking about the sense of comfort inside vehicles and houses, it is well known that temperatures between 20º-25ºC make us feel moreor less comfortable. Above 25ºC our feeling of discomfort raises up. Some of the heat that we...
Why to use PVB to Laminate GLASS when you can better use NOVOGLASS SF?
The 8 points comparison between the NovoGlass®SF Film and the PVB Until now the PolyVinylButyral (PVB) has been the traditional material used to laminate arquitectural glass in autoclaves. Since the seventies a lot of working experiences have...
BIPV: Is it Possible to Laminate Solar Cells Between Glass in Autoclaves?
This is an interesting question if you know how fragile the silicon cells are. The silicon cells are normally squared pieces of 16 x 16 cm2 with thickness between 180 or 200 microns that need to be handled very carefully. Otherwise they are easily broken down. If you...
Technologies mix: LEDs, Glass and Optical Films for Arquitectural Glass
Today, old Technologies have new chances of revitalization. The “easy” connectivity of technical knowledge gives new opportunities to business developers to revamp quiet industries in traditional sectors. They have the chance to revitalize their old and traditional...
