Kuraray Releases New Bird-Friendly Specialty Glazing

 

Trosifol's bird secure pro glass

Trosifol and SentryGlas, by Kuraray, introduced BirdSecure Pro, designed to keep birds safe while they fly by urban areas.

Birds' safety and well-being must be considered anytime glass structures are created, particularly as regulations are adapting it to benefit of the environment.

About Bird Secure Pro

The effective dot pattern applied directly to the BirdSecure Pro interlayer has been optimized and now shows better results, say company officials. The color composition of the dot pattern has been revised, and the dot size and spacing have been significantly changed.

Both Trosifol and SentryGlas BirdSecure Pro were developed according to the specifications of the American Bird Conservancy, fully tested according to the standards and meet the LEED SSpc55 building standard. In addition, the new interlayer acts as a UV blocker. As with its predecessor, it is easy to laminate and the new solution can be used alone or with solar control coatings. Although the dot pattern is highly effective against bird strikes, it cannot be seen by humans from a distance of more than two meters, so it does not obstruct or obscure views.

The relevant safety features of Trosifol PVB and SentryGlas ionoplast interlayers remain unchanged: glass fragments will remain attached to the interlayer in the event of glass breakage and will not cause injury to people or animals.
