Breaking pattern of LAMILEX UV
|
LAMILEX UV is a glass unit with increased safety properties.
It is manufactured from two or more sheets of glass with an interlayer
film of polyvinyl butyral film laminated under heat and pressure.
The interlayer film functions to intercept ultraviolet rays.
|
 |
 |
 |
Safety |
|
Even if the glass is broken, the tough interlayer film
prevents fragments from shattering. |
 |
Discoloration resistance |
|
It intercepts 99 percent or more of incoming ultraviolet
rays, protecting furniture and furnishings near windows from discoloration
caused by exposure to direct sunlight.

 |
 |
The location of installation should be carefully selected
in consideration of temperature conditions. |
 |
Avoid exposing the edges of the glass. The exposed edges
can absorb water, causing the interlayer film to become translucent
and possibly delaminate. |
 |
If the surface temperature of LAMILEX UV rises above
70 °C, foaming may occur within the interlayer film. |
 |
The interlayer film is susceptible to damage from organic
solvents. Handle the edges of the glass unit carefully. |
 |
Calculate thermal value as LAMILEX UV composed of heat
absorbing glass or wired glass is subject to thermal cracking under
certain environmental conditions. |
 |
Since LAMILEX UV composed of heat absorbing glass or
wired glass is subject to thermal cracking, the glass surface should
not be coated with paper or exposed to direct currents of air from
air-conditioning units. |
 |
Three water drain holes (5 mm in diameter) must be provided
at the sash bottom for draining rainwater or condensation quickly.
 |
 |
 |
Use a superior elastic sealing compound (polysulfide
or silicone). |
 |
Use polyethylene foam or chloroprene rubber as a backup
material.
 |
 |
Provide setting blocks of chloroprene rubber (90°
hardness) at two places along the bottom edge. |
