Non-warping composite glass made with PC sheets and laminated glass, available for customization.

Non-warping composite glass made with PC sheets and laminated glass, available for customization.

For architects, designers, and builders who specify large-format, safety-critical glazing, a persistent flaw has long undermined the promise of traditional glass-polycarbonate composites: warping.

While the union of glass and polycarbonate (PC) offers exceptional impact resistance, it is fundamentally compromised by internal stress. The vastly different thermal expansion coefficients of the two materials, when bonded using standard hot-press lamination, create inescapable tension. The result? Visibly bowed panels, optical distortion, and in critical cases, edge delamination or fracture. This flaw has constrained creative freedom and technical reliability—especially for panels exceeding one meter.

That compromise ends now.

We introduce ArmorLite™—not merely an improved laminate, but a fundamentally re-engineered architectural glazing system. Born from a complete rethinking of the bonding process, ArmorLite™ delivers what was once considered unattainable: perfectly flat, stable, and durable large-format composite glass.

Core Innovation: The Cavity-Filling Casting Process

ArmorLite™ replaces the conventional hot-press film method with a precision Cavity-Filling Casting Process. Glass and polycarbonate substrates are meticulously aligned with a controlled, uniform gap. Into this engineered cavity, we pour a proprietary optically clear resin interlayer, which cures under carefully defined conditions.

This method is transformative. By allowing the interlayer to cure in a near-zero-stress state, it accommodates material differentials from the outset. The result is a bond that is uniform, bubble-free, and critically—stress-neutralized. This breakthrough enables what was once high-risk: the reliable production of flawlessly flat panels over 1 meter, incorporating thick polycarbonate cores (10mm and above), with no compromise on stability.

The Performance Heart: A Custom-Engineered Interlayer

Our resin is no commodity material—it is the core of ArmorLite™, formulated in-house to meet three non-negotiable performance criteria:

• Extreme-Temperature Resilience: Maintains elasticity and adhesion across -30°C to 60°C, ensuring integrity in alpine cold or desert heat.

• Proven Weathering Resistance: Real-world samples exposed to direct outdoor elements for over five years show no measurable yellowing, hazing, or loss of optical clarity—guaranteeing lasting aesthetics and reduced lifetime maintenance.

• Operational Stability: Within the key ambient range of 0°C to 45°C, a standard 1-meter panel with a 12mm PC core resists edge delamination and thermal bowing, ensuring predictable performance across most climates.

Redefining What Composite Glass Can Achieve

The synergy of casting technology and engineered interlayer delivers unmatched advantages:

• Zero-Warping Guarantee: Eliminates the primary failure mode of traditional glass-PC laminates. Specify large, visually exposed applications with total confidence.

• Inherent Safety & Security: Combines the hardness of glass with near-ballistic impact resistance from thick polycarbonate. Upon impact, fragments remain securely bonded.

• Expanded Design Freedom: Enables expansive glazing, cantilevered canopies, and high-security barriers—all without visual defects or size limitations.

• Long-Term Value: Five-year outdoor validation ensures durability that protects both investment and architectural intent for decades.

• 

Engineered for Critical Applications

ArmorLite™ is the specified choice where performance cannot be compromised:

• Architectural Glazing: Skylights, atrium roofs, curtain walls, long-span canopies

• Security & Ballistic Glazing: Bank teller windows, VIP transport, high-value displays

• Specialized Environments: Swimming pool enclosures, cold storage doors, hurricane-rated facades

• High-Design Elements: Frameless balustrades, large interior partitions demanding safety and clarity

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

• Q: How does ArmorLite™ differ from standard PVB laminated glass with a PC sheet?

  • A: The key difference is the manufacturing process and interlayer. Traditional hot-pressed PVB cannot reliably manage the stress in large glass/PC composites, leading to warping. Our casting method and custom interlayer are specifically designed for this combination, guaranteeing flatness, durability, and long-term clarity.

• Q: Can you produce curved or shaped panels?

  • A: Yes, we can. Please consult our engineering team with your specific design drawings for feasibility and quotation.

• Q: What is the lead time and Minimum Order Quantity (MOQ)?

  • A: We offer flexible support starting with prototype orders. Contact us with your project details for an accurate timeline and MOQ.

• Q: Do you provide test reports and samples?

  • A: Yes. Technical data sheets are available. Sample panels can be provided for qualified projects.
