Laminated glass is a safety glass composite material made of two or more layers of glass bonded together through an interlayer. This unique structure allows it to effectively maintain integrity when broken, preventing fragments from flying and injuring people.

The manufacturing process of laminated glass is very precise: first, the cleaned flat glass and PVB film are stacked in order, and then sent to the autoclave for heat pressing at a high temperature of about 140°C and about 12-14 atmospheres to make the glass and the interlayer completely bonded. The thickness of PVB film is usually between 0.38mm and 2.28mm, and it can be stacked in multiple layers according to safety requirements. Modern technology can also produce laminated glass with special functions, such as UV protection, dimming or bulletproof.

Compared with ordinary glass, laminated glass has three outstanding characteristics: strong impact resistance, able to withstand high-speed impact of ice hockey without penetration; high safety, the fragments will adhere to the PVB film after breaking; good sound insulation, the PVB film can effectively absorb sound wave vibrations. These characteristics make it an ideal choice for ice hockey rink enclosure systems.

• Excellent impact resistance

Laminated glass in professional ice hockey rinks can withstand direct impacts from ice hockey pucks at speeds exceeding 100 km/h (test standard ASTM F1045). For example, the NHL standard requires that end zone glass can withstand 1.7 kJ of impact energy without breaking or penetrating.

• Ultimate safety guarantee

When the laminated glass for hockey rinks breaks due to extreme impact, the PVB interlayer can firmly grasp more than 98% of the glass fragments to prevent the fragments from splashing and injuring people. Comparative tests show that after tempered glass is broken, countless small particles will be scattered, while laminated glass remains intact as a whole, greatly reducing the risk of injury to athletes and spectators.

• Excellent optical performance

The light transmittance of high-quality laminated glass can reach more than 90% (EN410 standard), and there is no color difference or distortion, ensuring that the audience can watch the game without blind spots. Advanced anti-glare processing technology can also reduce light reflection and improve the quality of TV broadcast images, which is unmatched by ordinary glass.

• Excellent weather resistance

Professional-grade laminated glass has passed the high and low temperature cycle test of -30℃~+60℃, and will not delaminate, bubble or yellow in extreme environments. The UV filtering function of PVB film (can block 99% UV) can also prevent performance degradation caused by long-term sun exposure.

• Convenient maintenance features

The surface of laminated glass with special hardening treatment is 3 times more scratch-resistant than ordinary glass. It can be kept clean by wiping with water every day. Even if there are surface scratches, they can be repaired by polishing without replacing the whole body, which greatly reduces maintenance costs.

• Flexible design adaptability

Laminated glass can be made into a flat or curved shape (the minimum curvature radius can reach 8.5m) to meet the design requirements of different ice rinks. The thickness can be flexibly selected from 12mm to 30mm, which can meet both functional requirements and achieve aesthetic design.

FAQ

 

 

01.Which is more suitable for ice hockey rinks, laminated glass or tempered glass?

Laminated glass for hockey rinks is recommended for professional competitions because it has better penetration resistance; lower-cost tempered glass can be considered for amateur venues. The key difference is that laminated glass remains intact after being hit, while tempered glass will break into particles. Top events such as the NHL have fully adopted laminated glass.

02.How to obtain ice hockey rinks glass quote?

Customers need to provide glass specifications: type, size, thickness and quantity, etc.Then professional technicians will quote according to customer needs

03.Does your company support customized services?
