Resilient Materials Laminated Glass Interlayers for Increased Safety

Resilient Materials: Laminated Glass Interlayers for Increased Safety & Protection Global Platform for Disaster Risk Reduction May 22, 2013 Jonathan Cohen, Global Business Director, Du. Pont Sentry. Glas® Contact : Jonathan. v. cohen@dupont. com

Protecting People & Property Urbanization Severity of climate related events Terrorist attacks are on the rise Impacts on human safety and capital related to both natural and manmade disasters likely to increase 2

A new Construction Material for DRR • Glass : increasingly popular and desirable material • Standard glass can cause major destruction, injuries and death • Nickel sulphide spontenaous breakage • Facilities vulnerable to severe weather conditions & bomb blasts • High risk of injury or death from flying and falling debris • High risk of destruction inside buildings • When combined with Sentry. Glas® interlayer, laminated glass provides security and enhanced safety 3

Improved Bomb Blast Protection With Sentry. Glas® Industrial Accidents • Injuries from flying glass are minimized • Broken fragments of glass are retained • Improved protection to building occupants • Broken Sentry. Glas® laminates remain in place, protecting building contents from vandalism Terrorism Civil Unrest 4

Improved Protection from Severe Weather With Sentry. Glas® laminates • Resist effects of windborne debris impact and sustained high winds in storms • Reduce catastrophic failures caused by internal pressurization of the building • Sentry. Glas® laminates remain in place after breakage and serve as a weather barrier until replacement can be made • Building protected from vandalism 5

Building Codes & Best Practices • Building codes are typically representative of minimum requirements for construction. . • There are building code requirements for buildings that are located in earthquake and hurricane prone areas of the United States • Security from manmade attacks or terrorism is seen as a level above the minimum requirements • Government agencies, such as the U. S. State Department and the UK Home Office are the entities that generate security glazing requirements for their buildings. 6
