EVOLAM is a laminated glass, consisting of one or two glass layers of the same or different thicknesses, laminated with one or more 0.38mm EVA foil interlayers.
The EVA (Ethylene-vinyl acetate) film interlayers are ‘hydrophobic’ or water repellent, (unlike PVB which is ‘hydrophilic’ or absorbs water), so it can be installed outdoors without the risk of delamination. The EVA film also has qualities that make EVOLAM ‘UV resistant’.
By varying the thickness and number of glass sheets and EVA foil interlayers, various levels of security can be obtained.
EVOLAM can be used both indoors and outdoors and has a very high transparency index.
EVOLAM glass can be processed for various applications, with various specific cutouts and holes according to the project’s requirements.
Protection against injury – if the glass breaks, the fragments remain stuck to the lamination film and any potentially harmful shards are held in place.
Freefall protection – correct sizing and proper application of regulatory requirements, as well as correct calculation of the laminate glass thickness, give EVOLAM a residual stability in case of breakage as well as a retention of the body/ies that caused the glass to break.
Intrusion protection – Laminated safety glass, mounted in an adequate frame, can be an essential burglary deterrent, helping to ensure the security of stores, homes, offices etc. The evaluation of risk and regulations determine the level of protection to be achieved and therefore the type of glass that will be used.
