AD-sorb elastomer / Developing glass breakage and shattering prevention sheet

カラヤン本社

We are currently developing a protective sheet for reinforced glass display materials that utilizes the shock-absorbing properties of AD-sorb elastomers. Since 2015, various verification activities have been conducted on the implementation of a display board "andon" in a highway tunnel, which has resulted in no damage such as cracking or shattering of the display board after implementation. As a result, the number of tunnels planned for additional implementation has increased, and we expect to complete the development of specifications that can be implemented in outdoor materials requiring higher levels of weather resistance soon. Implementation tests for soundproof glass and other materials are also scheduled to begin. Additionally, we are actively advancing the development of sheet materials that combine AD-sorb elastomers with heat-insulating and light-blocking agents, featuring various characteristics such as heat insulation, light blocking, soundproofing, vibration control, and crack prevention. We will begin implementing these materials in building window glass and other applications starting in 2018.
