1. Manufacturing processes for tempered laminated glass
How can quality laminated glass be produced economically? This is the fundamental question that manufacturers are constantly asking themselves. Manufacturing processes for tempered laminated glass present new challenges, and require individual solutions tailored to each production line. For example, the base materials – tempered glass and – viscoelastic interlayers must have characteristics and selection criteria adapted to the manufacture of the finished product. Machine tool manufacturers offer sophisticated and innovative equipment to improve production line yields. Interlayer suppliers collaborate in the processing of their products to establish the best manufacturing conditions and minimize rejects due to excessive bubbling and delamination. The following recommendations should put manufacturers' nightmares behind them.
