Safety glass is a type of glass that is designed to minimize the risk of injury in case of breakage. It is commonly used in applications where there is a high risk of breakage, such as in car windshields, windows in high-rise buildings, and shower doors. Safety glass is made by laminating two or more layers of glass together with a layer of a transparent material such as polyvinyl butyral (PVB) or ethylene-vinyl acetate (EVA) in between. This design allows the glass to absorb impact and disperse energy, reducing the likelihood of shattering into sharp, dangerous shards.

One of the most common types of safety-glass is tempered glass, which is heat-treated to increase its strength. When tempered glass breaks, it crumbles into small, dull pieces rather than sharp shards, reducing the risk of injury. Another type of safety glass is laminated glass, which consists of two or more layers of glass bonded together with a layer of PVB or EVA. Laminated glass is often used in situations where impact resistance is a priority, such as in overhead skylights or glass floors. Overall, safety-glass plays a crucial role in minimizing the risk of injuries and fatalities in situations where glass breakage is a concern, making it a vital component in building and automotive safety standards.
