Triplex filling technology

 

The word triplex itself is of Latin origin and means triple. This term is usually referred to as a special technology for the production of glass products, and its result is laminated glass. The basis of triplex technology is the creation of a kind of “sandwich” of two or more glasses and a polymer layer between them. This layer is able to hold glass fragments upon impact, while at the same time its properties, as a material, remain unchanged.

Methods for the production of triplex

According to the production method, there are two types of triplex, distinguished by their qualities: -triplex created by film technology, it has the best optical characteristics, -triplex created by casting technology has higher strength. Consider the specifics of both methods of triplex production.

Filling technology

Glass plates are glued to each other along the entire surface with a special adhesive fluid (resin), under the influence of uniform UV irradiation, the resin completely polymerizes - this is the way triplex is filled. Triplex multi-layer is produced sequentially, layer by layer, so that the resin solidifies equally. This method allows you to connect different both in texture and color and in the thickness of the glass.

Film technology

With this method of manufacturing triplex is placed between the sheets of glass, then the entire package is pre-pressed in the colander, and then it is finally glued at a temperature of 150 degrees Celsius in an autoclave. In the colander, the air remaining between the film and the glass layers is squeezed out mechanically using rubber shafts, resulting in a certain adhesion of the glass to the film. Triplex is unloaded from the colander almost transparent. Triplex produced by modern technologies has the ability to absorb sound, reduce ultraviolet radiation, thermal resistance and mechanical strength several times more than ordinary glass
