Lamination (*Subject to capability test result)
Stopray SMART 51/33 can be laminated with coating layer applied against the PVB interlayer in position
#2. We highly recommend usage of this configuration in #2 only. AGC can assist its customers in
calculating the light- and energy- characteristics.
To guarantee the aesthetics and to ensure superior performance, special care must be taken during the
fabrication as described in the previous sections. Please pay attention to the processing guide
instructions for the lamination process.
In general, the laminated glazing cannot be processed in an industrial atmosphere with a high level of
humidity. Glazing systems should be designed to prevent de-lamination or corrosion of the inside coating.
The processor is responsible for the correct processing of the laminated glazing.
After the lamination process, products should be inspected as follows:
For durability of laminated glass, please refer to EN12543-4, EN12600 and EN356. The correct
lamination and safety compliance is the responsibility of the processor.
The following points require special attention when using inside laminated coated glass.
Stopray SMART 51/33 is a self-matchable product in position 2 of the laminated glass.
The opto-energetic performances before and after tempering are similar.
Loss of thermal insulation performance in monolithic (u-Value)
The adhesion test could be slightly lower for the coated side (standard values for pummel are 5.5 and
4 for uncoated and coated side, respectively)
The interlayer is a clear architectural polyvinyl butyral (pvb)
AGC recommends a number of tested sealing compounds in a specific document.
Note:
Recommendations in identifying coating positing in a laminated glass configuration:
Method 1: At the Laminating Line
✓
First, place coated glass with coating facing up;
✓
Second, place clear or tinted glass with non-Tin side facing UP by using a Tin side
detector;
Method 2: Before final packing for delivery or subsequent processing
✓
Ensure the facing of the laminated glass is OK by using the Tin side detector.
Outcome of the Tin side detector:
a)
Tin & non-Tin
→
Tin side is coated glass
b)
Tin & Tin
→
Unable to determine coated glass,
refer to Method 3.
Method 3:
✓
When both sides of Tin detector indicate “Tin”, inspect the glass edge through
transmittance using the background lighting.
✓
Move your vision side to side to have clearer image of the glass transmittance contrast.
a)
Laminated with Clear glass – coated glass will have lower transmittance.
