Dr. Schenk's GlassInspect for laminated flat glass is an inspection solution focusing on the quality assurance and process control for the production of automotive and architectural glass with functional features, like fire protection glass, safety glass or glass with special noise reduction capabilities.

Laminated glass is produced by bonding two or more glass sheets together with an interlayer, usually Polyvinyl Butyral (PVB). The interlayer(s) will prevent the glass panel to shatter into small glass pieces when breaking, which gives the glass application its safety character.

The interlayer of a car windscreen stops broken glass from bursting inside the car when breaking and has an important safety functionality.

The lamination layer of bullet proof glass has a similar function. This glass is additionally hardened by the inbetween material and is therefore also used in airliner front windows.

Fire protection glass prevents the glass panels to break into pieces under enormous heat exposure. In addition the lamination provides a barrier for the heat radiation.
