Types of Windshield

By naked eye, the windshield has the same form. This view is deceptive, because the glass can be distinguished from sruktur and different functions, among others, could maintain the safety of the passengers in the vehicle.However, the material manufacture of vehicles adapted to the conditions that might occur, and therefore designed as possible. At least, there are two types of car glass, namely :

Temperred Glass
This type of glass is ordinary glass ang hardened by heating process until it reaches a temperature of 650 degrees centigrade, then cool immediately.This type of glass is relatively difficult to solve, because it has the strength of three times stronger than ordinary glass. But if pierced by a sharp object exceeds a sixth of thick glass, it will be shattered like crystal. This type of glass is usually used on the side and rear of the car. So when the collision from the side is not easily broken. However, for large passenger vehicles such as buses, this glass is its temperlite easily solved by using a special solver and usually the device attached to the wall of the vehicle. 
Laminted Glass 
Also called Lamisafe, this type of glass is formed of three layers of material, namely two glass and a sheet film (Polyvinyl Film Grain / PVB), which is in the middle sandwiched between two glass. The strength of this type of glass located at the film strong and very closely, so as to increase the strength of the glass.Another function of the film sheet which when subjected to impact, the glass will remain attached to the film. This type of glass can withstand ultraviolet rays up to 96 percent. This type of glass is used for the front of the vehicle.As we often see the windshield of the vehicle that hit hard object collision but not shattered, since the glass shards stick to the film sheets. In addition, the rider can still see the road because of damage to the glass is only concentrated on the collision area is concentrated on the area of ​​collision.
