Properties:

1.      Low cost

2.      Resistant to devitrification and water

3.      Attacked by common reagents like acids

4.      Its melts easily

Preparation: Safety glass is prepared by placing a thin layer of Vinyl plastic between two sheets of glass. Then the plastic and glass sheets are pressed together under heat, so that the plastic thin layer is sandwiched in between the glass sheets. The edges of the combined sheets are sealed with some water resistant compound. The glass becomes quite tough. (The glass sheets used are ordinary glass sheets and plastic sheet used is of either cellulose acetate of polyvinyl butyl (acetyl) resin).

Properties:

(1)         Safety glass shatter-proof.

(2)         It is quite touch.

Uses:

(a)          Three layer laminated glass is used as wind shields in automobile and aeroplane industries.
