Laminated glass is a form of safety glass achieved by combining two or more sheets of float or tempered glass with one or more interlayers, processed through autoclaving at 1400 °C and pressures reaching up to 14 bars. The most prevalent interlayer in laminated glass is polyvinyl butyral (PVB), imparting strength and tensile safety, making it suitable for diverse industries like construction and building, automotive, electronics, and solar panels.

The primary types of laminated glass include polyvinyl butyral (PVB), sentryglas plus (SGP), ethylene-vinyl acetate (EVA), and others. Polyvinyl butyral (PVB) is a commonly used resin in applications that demand binding, optical clarity, adhesion to glass surfaces, toughness, and flexibility. Predominantly employed as an interlayer in laminated safety glass for architectural and automotive applications, PVB enhances the strength of the glass. Various interlayers, such as polyvinyl butyral, ionoplast polymer, and others, find applications in building and construction, automotive, electronics, solar panels, and various other industries.
