In recent years, the demand for impact-resistant glass has soared due to its ability to protect buildings and homes from severe weather conditions and potential break-ins. One brand that has gained significant attention in this field is MPE. This innovative impact glass solution offers an array of benefits that set it apart from traditional glass options.
Special high performance multi-layer polyester insert for heavy impact and printed laminated safety glass applications. Originally created for specialty markets such as high-security glazing and hurricane protection, evguard® MPE interlayers are now being specified wherever architects or engineers need a material that can provide superior performance.
MPE interlayer are up to 100 times stiffer and 5 times stronger than traditional interlayers, helping thinner laminates meet specified wind loads or structural requirements.
In many applications laminated glass made with MPE interlayer acts like an engineered composite, with low mechanical strain under loads, and outstanding post-breakage resistance to creep and collapse.
MPE is often being specified now for balustrades, railings, canopies and other applications where single tempered glass is no longer acceptable from a performance perspective.
Thanks to its impressive strength and modest weight, MPE interlayers are suitable for a broad range of commercial and residential applications. You can use it in anything from security screens to sealed glazing units.
