| In this text, we will discuss the advantages and disadvantages of single laminate and block autoclaving, suggested operational parameters, design of spacers, and the autoclave cycle.
| In this third episode of the #AskGlaston flat tempering series, Taneli Ylinen deals with the commonly asked question of how to handle the issues with mixed production.
| This text takes a look at the roller process of lamination. It explores different heating concepts such as convection, long wave and short wave IR radiation, and micro-waves, as well as the importance of the correct IR radiation.
| In this post, we discuss what emerging designs require and how automotive glass processors can meet these requirements.
| This Glastory blog by Kalle Kaijanen is dealing with the processing of high-strength / structural laminates.
| Laminating glass is a process that requires precision and safety. In order to ensure that the glass is laminated safely and to a high standard, special cleanroom requirements must be met. This includes air pressure, clothing, static charges, and cleaning protocols.

| When we look at glass lamination, there are 3 basic systems: Nip roller system, Vacuum bag system and Autoclave free system.
| In the next session(s), Luc would like to take you through the 3 glass lamination processes in detail, going from glass and PVB requirements to design concepts.
| This paper presents work undergone for a set of four high-rise towers, featuring 11,136 unique cold-bentpanels, hundreds of which are pushed beyond 250mm.
| The paper undertakes a review of basic interlayer stack data with regards to viscoelastic properties and adhesion, and the engineering hypotheses using recent preliminary fitting test results for various loading schemes.
| In the second episode of #AskGlaston Flat Tempering Series, we will talk about the new solution to estimate the stress level in glass – online.
| This first episode is devoted to the white haze phenomenon – one of the most asked about issues in the history of #AskGlaston.
| This latest Glastory blog by Miika Äppelqvist is dealing with the areas of the tempering process that can be improved to make operations more efficient.
| Industry demand for impeccable glass quality has increased notably over the last years. Customer expectations run high, forcing glass processors to strive for ever-stricter quality control and ensure minimal rejection rates for finished products.
| The most common quality issues that arise in tempered glass are roller waves, glass distortion, bad anisotropy and white haze. In this post, we want to focus on white haze and ways to control it.
| In 2015, the bold concept of a curvy tower at 252 East 57th Street, New York, was presented to an audience at the Glass Performance Days conference. At that time, building construction was just beginning, and no one was certain such a novel idea could be realized.
| This poetry in architecture, one of the most advanced structures in the Nordic countries, Oodi Library exalts the very elements of glass, wood and steel that work in balance as a free-standing masterpiece.
| In glass tempering, we look for equipment that uses less energy, leading to fewer emissions. But sometimes, the numbers are too good to be true.
| Making new and existing buildings as energy efficient as possible is one way to help meet the EU’s CO2 reduction goals.
| The significance of balancing operational and embodied carbon continues to grow.
| Global environmental concern is motivating efforts to improve energy efficiency in all industrial sectors. And glass tempering is no exception.
| Today, almost all new devices – from home appliances to production equipment – are connected. Rapid development in consumer electronics has been increasingly moving towards industrial use. In the glass industry, this development is still in its early stages.
| To really succeed in glass lamination, it takes much more than just having the best equipment – it’s about understanding the process in and out.
| Glass production is an energy-intensive process by its nature, so even small reductions there can result in considerable savings in energy and costs.
