Pilkington Optilam

Pilkington Optilam™ is the brand name for our laminated Glass range. Pilkington Optilam™ is ideal for providing both impact resistance and security since it may break on impact but the glass is held in place thus preventing injury or intrusion.
Pilkington Optilam™ is produced by combining two or more sheets of glass with one or more Plastic interlayers. The performance of Pilkington Optilam™ can therefore be varied by changing the number and thickness of each of the glass panes and the polyvinylbutyral (PVB) interlayers to give the specifier a wide choice of products depending on application, whether it be for safety or security, noise control, Solar Control, UV Screening, bullet and blast resistance or privacy and decoration.
Pilkington Optilam™ can be supplied with an ionomer interlayer (e.g. SGP) instead of PVB for increased loadbearing capability and improved post-breakage behaviour.
For solar control, privacy and decoration see Pilkington Optilam™ I.
For noise control see Pilkington Optiphon™.
