aint-Gobain Sully’s Solution
Based on our 40 years of experience in several countries,
Saint-Gobain Sully has developed solutions for several
types of impact constraints regulated by different
standards. The company tests hundreds of compositions
each year in its integrated testing facilities and
participates in the development of standards for railway
glazing for the EN and UIC.
Saint-Gobain Sully solutions for impact
resistance include:
- fire and smoke qualifications according to several
standards;
- pressure cycles resistance;
- climatic tests resistance;
- thermal insulation;
- acoustic performance.
1. Optimised glass composition
Impact-resistant glazing is composed of an interlayer
(PU and PUB), glasses with varying thickness and an
anti-spall layer. With its expertise, Saint-Gobain Sully
defines the best position of a ply for a relevant impact
and for fire/smoke resistance.
2. Chemical reinforcement
In addition to tempered glass, we offer the
technologically advanced solution of chemical
reinforcement. Chemically reinforced glass is
highly impact resistant, more flexible and has a
safer crack pattern.

3. Anti-spall protection
A special film is applied on the internal side of the glass
in order to avoid the projection of spalls into the cabin
and protect the driver from projectiles.
