Recent advances in structural interlayers are expanding what laminated glass can achieve in façades. New formulations improve residual strength after breakage, allow larger spans and contribute measurable sustainability benefits through longer service life and reduced material intensity.

Structural performance and new products

Trosifol ES Pro was introduced as a new interlayer option aimed at structural glass applications. SentryGlas continues to deliver high stiffness and post-breakage integrity that makes it suitable for demanding façades and overhead glazing.

Sustainability benefits

The use of high-performance interlayers can reduce glass thickness, lower embodied carbon and extend the service life of the façade. These factors contribute to both operational and whole-life environmental performance.

Rooprai emphasised that the combination of structural capability and sustainability credentials makes these interlayers increasingly relevant for high-performance building envelopes in the Indian market.
