The glass used in motor vehicles is subject to different conditions to rest substantially conventional glasses. Therefore, the glass used in automobiles must be subjected to the techniques of tempered or laminated. The advantage of these types of glass is that, if broken, becomes small fragments representing less danger of injury to the vehicle occupants. In the case of laminated glass, its composition, glass fragments are joined to a plastic sheet offering resistance to foreign objects inside a vehicle, thereby ensuring the security of goods and people within it.
Also, there are other types of glass or treatments applied to them, improving their characteristics to certain exterior elements such as solar radiation, rain and sound: laminated and tempered tinted glass – glass is colored to reduce the effects of solar radiation (infrared and ultraviolet). Tinting gives a decrease in heat transfer into the vehicle and maintains a high level of light transmission.
It applies to all the moons of the vehicle windshield, side and rear. Tinted glass on dark – A material even darker tint, due to major advances in technology, can make sense of privacy to the occupants of a vehicle. It is often used in solar roofs and on the moons of the rear of the vehicle.
This type of glass has two modes: one using a heat conductive metal adhered to the glass, and connected by terminals to the car’s electrical system heats the glass surface making me to allow visibility through it. Another is through a transparent electro-conductive coating applied to the glass that provides heat and operates over the entire surface of the moon. Thermal or solar control glass.
Allows darken or lighten the tint of the glass with electro chromic technology, preventing Step into the vehicle of a high percentage of solar energy. Glass with integrated antenna – Allows incorporating glass of various antennas (AM / FM, GSM, TV, security systems) by screen printing. These types of glass offered as a convenience, prevent theft of rod antennas.
A glass coating repels water incorporated into the moon provides greater visual comfort when driving under rainy conditions. It is frequently applied to the windshield and front side windows. Another way to facilitate the driving rain is to incorporate a sensor that detects windshield moisture on the glass surface and automatically activates the wipers.
Acoustic glass
Lunas PVB laminated layers are especially designed and installed so that the glass offers a greater noise reduction than standard laminated glass. The above types of glasses, Vitepal Brothers Ltda distributed in our locations in Santiago and Viña del Mar, Chile, provide more and better facilities and levels of comfort thanks to advances in technique. In our quality glass manufacturers for vehicles, we offer new and better products.
