Argon, a safe, odorless, non-toxic gas which is 40% denser than air, significantly slows down the transference of heat and cold from pane to pane. The Argon can be upgraded to Krypton, which is 96% denser than air, to provide considerably more insulation value and significantly reduce heat transfer as well as energy bills.
The air-filled windows and argon-filled windows look exactly the same. It is also important to note that argon gas is nontoxic. As such, a cracked or broken argon window is just as harmless as an air-filled window.
Newer developments have increased the thermoplastic family for the lamination of glass. Beside PVB, important thermoplastic glass lamination materials today are EVA.
The advantages of EVA film are:
Laminated glass is a type of safety glass that holds together when shattered. In the event of breaking, it is held in place by an inter-layer, typically of polyvinyl butyral (PVB), between its two or more layers of glass. The inter-layer keeps the layers of glass bonded even when broken, and its high strength prevents the glass from breaking up into sharp pieces. This produces a characteristic “spider web” cracking pattern when the impact is not enough to completely pierce the glass.
