Anti-UV Tempered Glass

Shandong Yaohua’s anti-UV tempered glass combines high-strength safety glass with exceptional ultraviolet radiation shielding. The product is primarily manufactured as laminated tempered glass, incorporating one or more layers of polyvinyl butyral (PVB) interlayer bonded between glass sheets under high temperature and pressure. Standard PVB film effectively blocks almost all ultraviolet radiation up to a wavelength of approximately 400 nanometres (nm), covering both UV-B and UV-A bands. With UV blocking rates exceeding 95%, the glass provides robust protection against solar UV damage. This prevents fading, discoloration, and degradation of interior furnishings, curtains, artwork, and other valuables, making it ideal for residential and commercial applications where long-term asset preservation is a priority.

Beyond UV protection, the product delivers high safety performance through tempering, which increases mechanical strength by three to five times compared to ordinary float glass. When broken, tempered glass shatters into small, blunt granules, significantly reducing injury risk. The laminated structure ensures that even if broken, glass fragments remain bonded to the PVB interlayer, maintaining structural integrity and security. Additional benefits include noise reduction, as the PVB film effectively dampens sound wave transmission, and solar control capabilities, as colored interlayers help reduce solar heat gain and glare without distorting color perception. The glass also exhibits excellent water pressure resistance when properly sealed with compatible sealants. Shandong Yaohua produces 3mm to 19mm flat and curved tempered glass in various configurations, with maximum dimensions reaching 2440mm × 7000mm, accommodating diverse architectural and industrial needs.

Technical Parameters & Quality Standards

Shandong Yaohua’s anti-UV tempered glass complies with rigorous technical specifications and international quality certifications. UV blocking performance typically reaches 95% or higher for laminated configurations using standard PVB interlayers, with advanced specialty interlayers achieving over 99% UV-A blocking rates. The glass maintains excellent visible light transmittance while blocking UV wavelengths from 280nm to 400nm, ensuring bright interiors without compromising UV protection. Standard PVB interlayers block UV radiation up to approximately 400nm, effectively filtering harmful UV-A that standard glass alone does not fully eliminate.

In terms of mechanical properties, the product undergoes comprehensive testing per international standards: UV transmittance measured under ISO 9050, impact resistance tested to GB/T 15763 with falling ball impact energy ≥5J, bending strength meeting ≥100MPa, and surface hardness achieving Vickers hardness ≥600HV. UV aging tests are conducted for ≥1000 hours per ASTM G154 to verify long-term performance retention. Thermal stability withstands temperature shock from -50°C to 350°C without deformation. The company holds ISO9001 quality management certification, China 3C compulsory certification for safety glass, and energy-saving product certification. For export markets, the product passes Australian standards, EU CE certification, US SGCC, and North American IGCC certification.
