Hurricane Glazing – SentryGlas & Trosifol® | Kuraray

Kuraray hurricane impact glazing combines impact-resistant laminated glass with a high-strength interlayer that works to maintain the building envelope integrity. Trosifol^® hurricane glazing from Kuraray protects facades against high winds, heavy rain, and impact from windborne debris. Trosifol^® also helps increase security by containing broken glass within its frame to prevent additional debris. Hurricane impact laminated glazing is comprised of two or more lites of strengthened or annealed glass with a Trosifol^® interlayer.
