Intumescent interlayer glazing coatings: Saint GobainRecent Research Landscape

Standard glass panes fail under high-impact or thermal stress, leading to structural breach and safety risks. This technology engineers the chemical composition of secondary seals and coatings to enhance impact resistance and maintain structural integrity.

What technical problems is Saint Gobain addressing in Intumescent interlayer glazing coatings?

Fire induced optical degradation

(3)evidences

Optical degradation and uncontrolled foaming during heat exposure compromise visibility and structural integrity. Preventing premature opacity or mechanical failure ensures safety and visibility during fire events.

Thermal integrity failure

(3)evidences

Secondary seals and enclosed edges in multi-pane glazing often fail under high thermal loads. Preventing seal degradation ensures structural integrity and containment of intumescent materials during fire events.
