Attentions for Edging Laminated Glass With EVA Glass Interlayer Film
By Peter Lin
Avoid Leaking of EVA Film inside Laminated Glass
The principle of making laminated glass is heating and vacuuming (pressing the glass to squeeze out the air).
And when heating ,the EVA Film melt into liquid and the EVA film melt index is higher than PVB Film. So when vacuuming (the pre-laminated glass get the pressure), the EVA Film near the edges of the pre-laminated glass will be leaking out.
And if the EVA Film is leaking out too much, the edges of the laminated glass may have bubbles around.
There are two ways to solve this problem:
(1) -Use the green tape to seal the pre-laminated glass, but make sure you make some small holes on the green tape to help vacuuming.
(2)-If you make small laminated glass, you can put some wood bars surrounding the pre laminated glass. The surrounding woods should be as high as the pre-laminated glass. Which can make sure that the pressure is even on the pre-laminated glass.
Cooling the Laminated Glass after Heating
If you get the laminated glass out of the silicone vacuum bag too early, the temperature of the laminated glass is still higher than the room temperature, if the balance is too much, the laminated glass may get burst, or there may be some bubbles around the laminated glass edges.
In summer, if the room temperature is higher, you can use fan to help cooling the glass.
But anyway, don’t stop vacuuming until the temperature of laminated glass is close to the room temperature.
Attentions for Edging Laminated Glass With EVA Film
1-Don’t edge the laminated glass until the laminated glass with EVA Film has been cooled for 24 hours. Because if you edging too early may cause the delamination in the edges of EVA laminated glass.
2-It’s better if you can edging the glasses before laminating with EVA Film, then you don’t have to edge the EVA laminated glass after heating.
3- If you laminated with some decorative inserts inside the glass, and the decorative inserts is easy to absorb water, then you should edging the glasses before laminating with EVA Film. Because if you have to edge after heating, the decorative inserts may absorb water and lead to the delamination.
4-Please use the gentle grinding wheel to edge the EVA laminated glass
First in first out:RULE OF STORAGE OF EVA FILM
When we talking about storage of EVA Film.
Most EVA Film manufacturers will guarantee that self life of EVA Film for laminated glass is 6 months to 1 years.
So when store the EVA Film, please remember “first in first out” rule.
Make sure you use the EVA film you order earlier.
And also make sure you use the EVA Film during the self life period.
Because after the EVA FILM expired, maybe the adhesive strength, impact strength or transparency will be declined.
