Impact-resistant glass is a type of glass designed to withstand significant force without breaking. It is commonly made by sandwiching a layer of plastic, such as polyvinyl butyral (PVB), between two layers of glass. This construction helps absorb energy from impacts, making it ideal for use in areas prone to severe weather, vandalism, or accidents. This glass is often used in automobiles, buildings, and windows to enhance safety and security. Its durability not only protects against shattering but also reduces the risk of injury from flying glass shards. Impact-resistant glass is a popular choice for both residential and commercial applications.
