Glazing is composed of two very thin sheets (0.9-1.5 mm) made of high mechanical resistance glass and assembled on either side of thick plastic interlayer (0.76 mm) with controlled adherence; in series of comparative tests, superiority of new glazing has been proven; total thickness is reduced by half, which results in greater lightness, flexibility, and reduction of effects of inertia; other advantages include -- very high resistance to rupture and penetration caused by external impacts by small projectiles and even repeated impacts and total maintenance of visibility in event of breakage by exterior impacts.
