STADIP® (PROTECT/SILENCE)

Laminated safety and security glass, STADIP, comprises two or more sheets of glass bonded together with one or more interlayers of polyvinyl butyral (PVB) film. It is meant to be used in building, furniture and industrial applications.

STADIP glass incorporates a single PVB sheet with a nominal thickness of 0.38 mm, distinguishing it from STADIP PROTECT glass which has a minimum thickness of 0.76 mm (2 PVB). 

STADIP SILENCE glass incorporates a special PVB sheet with particular acoustic properties. For the same thickness of glass, STADIP SILENCE achieves an average increase, expressed in Rw (EN ISO 717), of between 3 dB compared with conventional STADIP or STADIP PROTECT laminated glass and 5 dB compared with monolithic PLANICLEAR.

Laminated glasses with different levels of safety and security can be obtained by varying the number and/or thickness of each of the components. If the glass breaks, the fragments of glass are held in place by the PVB interlayer(s). In fully framed installations the broken glass retains a residual strength while awaiting replacement.

Products in the STADIP, STADIP PROTECT ranges comply with standards EN 12543 and EN 14449. Products in the STADIP SILENCE ranges comply with standards EN 12543.
