5mm Glass + 1mm Customized Interlayer + 12mm PC Sheet Laminated Composite Glass
For architects, designers, and builders who specify large-format, safety-critical glazing, a persistent challenge has long lurked within the very promise of composite materials: warping. The traditional marriage of glass and polycarbonate (PC) sheets, while excellent for impact resistance, is often plagued by internal stress. The vastly different thermal expansion coefficients of the two materials, when bonded under standard hot-press lamination, create an inevitable pull. The result? Unsightly and structurally concerning bending, optical distortion, and in worst cases, delamination or fracture at the edges. This limitation has constrained design freedom and reliability, especially for panels exceeding one meter.
Today, that compromise ends. We introduce ArmorLite™, a revolutionary category of architectural laminated glass born not from incremental improvement, but from a fundamental re-engineering of the bonding process itself.
The Core Innovation: Cavity-Filling Casting Method
ArmorLite™ discards the conventional hot-press film method. Instead, we employ a precision Cavity-Filling Casting Process. The glass and polycarbonate substrates are meticulously aligned and sealed with a precise gap. Into this controlled cavity, our proprietary, optically clear resin interlayer is poured and cured under specific conditions.
This method is transformative. By allowing the interlayer to cure in a low-stress state, it accommodates the inherent material differences from the outset. The bond is uniform, bubble-free, and, most critically, stress-neutralized. This is why ArmorLite™ can reliably achieve what was previously high-risk: the production of flawlessly flat, large panels (over 1 meter) incorporating thick polycarbonate cores (10mm and above).
The Secret Ingredient: A Custom-Formulated Interlayer
The resin is not a commodity material; it is the heart of the product, engineered in-house for three non-negotiable performance pillars:
-
Extreme-Temperature Elasticity: The interlayer maintains exceptional flexibility and adhesion across a -30°C to 60°C range. Whether installed in a freezing alpine facility or a sun-drenched desert facade, the bond remains intact and resilient.
-
Unmatched Weathering Resistance: We subject our interlayer to the ultimate test: time. Samples exposed to direct outdoor elements for over five years show no measurable yellowing, hazing, or loss of optical clarity. This translates directly to long-term aesthetic integrity and lower lifetime maintenance costs for your project.
-
Operational Stability: Within the key ambient range of 0°C to 45°C, a standard 1-meter panel with a 12mm PC core is guaranteed to resist edge delamination and excessive thermal bowing. This ensures predictable performance in most inhabited climates.
Performance That Redefines Expectations
The synergy of our casting method and custom interlayer delivers a product with unparalleled advantages:
-
Zero-Warping Guarantee: The primary headache of glass/PC composites is eliminated. Specify with confidence for large, visible applications.
-
Inherent Safety & Security: The architecture combines surfaces: the hardness and scratch resistance of glass with the phenomenal, near-ballistic impact resistance of thick polycarbonate. In the event of glass breakage, fragments are tenaciously held by the interlayer.
-
Design Freedom: Enabled by reliable large-format production and the ability to use thick PC sheets, ArmorLite™ opens new possibilities for expansive glazing, cantilevered canopies, and robust security barriers without visual defects.
-
Long-Term Value: The 5-year proven outdoor stability is a testament to durability, protecting your project's investment and appearance for years to come.
Engineered for Demanding Applications
ArmorLite™ is the specified choice for projects where failure is not an option:
-
Large Architectural Glazing: Skylights, atrium roofs, curtain walls, and long-span canopies.
-
Security & Ballistic-Resistant Glazing: Bank teller windows, VIP vehicle glass, display cases for high-value items.
-
Specialized Environments: Swimming pool enclosures, cold storage doors, noise barrier windows, and hurricane-prone area glazing.
-
High-Design Elements: Frameless glass railings for tall buildings, large interior partitions requiring both safety and clarity.
