Product Brief
Laminated glass manufactured by Emirates Glass is a high-performance safety glass composed of two or more layers of glass bonded together with a tough interlayer, typically polyvinyl butyral (PVB). This construction ensures that even if the glass breaks, the fragments remain adhered to the interlayer, significantly reducing the risk of injury and enhancing security. Emirates Glass offers laminated solutions tailored for architectural applications, including facades, skylights, partitions, and balustrades, with added benefits like sound insulation, UV protection, and compatibility with their EmiCool® solar control coatings.

| Impact Category | Unit | A1 | A2 | A3 | A4 | A5 | B1-B7 | C1 | C2 | C3 | C4 | D |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| GWP-GHG | kgCO₂e | 3.26E+00 | 1.69E-02 | 3.27E-01 | 3.68E-02 | ND | ND | 0.00E+00 | 3.47E-03 | 1.38E-02 | 4.61E-03 | -7.87E-01 |
This indicator includes all greenhouse gases, excluding biogenic carbon dioxide uptake and emissions, as well as biogenic carbon stored in the product, as defined by IPCC AR6 (2021). The indicator aligns closely with the Global Warming Potential (GWP) outlined in EN 15804:2012+A2:2019, incorporating updated characterization factors and environmental impact indicators. Reading example: 1.57E-03 = 1.57*10⁻³ = 0.00157.
