SentryGlas® ionoplast interlayer supports first-of-its-kind building to showcase watchmaking expertise. Stunning spiral design balances amazing mountain vista with the demands of snow-based physics, creating the perfect monument to watchmakers. Located Le Brassus, in the Jura mountains, about an hour north of Geneva...
This case study describes the façade performance of the 2nd tallest building in China, the Ping An International Finance Center located in Shenzhen.
In this paper the mechanical and application properties of Sikaflex®-268, a high performance polyurethane adhesive are presented and compared to Sikasil® SG-500, a typical silicone adhesive used for structural glazing applications in facades.
During a recent project to understand the ability to use Transparent Structural Silicone Adhesive (TSSA) via linear bonding for cable wall fittings, a unique aspect of the material indicates a potential novel method for cold bending glass. Used in long sections and small widths, the TSSA was able to effectively bend...
