Benefits of DuPont™ SentryGlas®
![]() |
Stiffer and tougher than PVB, clear DuPont™ SentryGlas® interlayers come in standard thicknesses of 35, 60, 90 and 120 mil (0.90, 1.52, 2.28 and 3.05 mm) |
Changing the way you look at glass
Five times stronger and 100 times stiffer than conventional laminating materials, DuPont™ SentryGlas® interlayers help create glass that protects against bigger storms, larger impacts and heavier loads.
SentryGlas®
Since the interlayers are an engineered component within the glass, they serve as a more active structural element in the building envelope. This extra strength also increases design freedom, and improves long-term weather resistance. SentryGlas® is also less susceptible to moisture and it remains free from clouding, even after years of service.
On the edge
DuPont™ SentryGlas® handles higher structural loads than PVB, so it’s an excellent choice for facades that have open edges and minimal support. It reduces the need for four-sided edge framing.
Protection from the elements
SentryGlas® is stiffer and tougher than conventional interlayers. This means it can withstand greater impacts from winds and wind-borne debris. In fact, homeowners are increasingly opting for SentryGlas® over storm shutter systems.
Benefits at a glance
- Safety: In the event of breakage, glass fragments remain firmly bonded to the interlayer, reducing the chance for injury.
- Security: SentryGlas® can be used in glazing that withstands bullets, hurricane-force winds and even bomb blasts.
- Solar energy control: SentryGlas® can be specified with reflective coated glass or low-E glass, with heat-absorbing glass tints. UV-absorbing additives can also be incorporated into the interlayer.
- Durability: SentryGlas® is extremely durable and resistant to clouding, even after years of exposure.
- Design Flexibility : SentryGlas® can be used in glass manufactured flat or curved, including annealed, toughened, heat-strengthened, spandrel, wired, patterned and color tinted glass.
