SECURGLASS is Renner Italia’s shatter-resistant topcoat designed to secure flat glass surfaces. This high-tech coating, certified to EN 12600:2004, protects the glass like a crystalline armour. An invisible shield that meets all the requirements set out in safety regulations attualmente vigenti nel settore dell’edilizia.
Like all the paints in Renner Italia’s ITALIAN GLASS range, SECURGLASS is designed to meet the aesthetic requirements of contemporary designers where a very high level of transparency is required. Always in step with the times, the minimalist elegance of glass is enhanced by this formulation, which leaves all the intrinsic characteristics of this material – such as its brilliance and lustre – completely unaltered.
The UNI EN 12600:2004 standard defines the parameters for impact resistance, penetration resistance and the fracture behaviour of glass. The primary objective of safety in the building industry is to reduce the risk of injury caused by accidental impacts when glass materials are used. The water-based SECURGLASS topcoat (GO M588) strengthens the glass, trapping any shards that might be produced by the accidental breakage of a pane, with the aim of reducing cuts and puncture wounds. To meet all the requirements of this stringent standard, Renner Italia’s chemists have developed SECURGLASS, achieving the highest compliance class under the UNI EN 12600:2004 standard, namely 1 (B) 1, for both toughened glass (resistance to free-fall) and non-toughened glass (resistance to cuts). The first figure refers to the maximum height (1200 mm) at which the sample does not break or breaks in the manner of safety glass, and is measured on a scale of 1 to 3, where 1 represents the best result. The letter B refers to the manner in which the laminated glass breaks. The final digit, also measured on a scale of 1 to 3 where 1 is the best result, represents the maximum drop height at which the sample does not break or breaks in the same way as laminated safety glass whilst maintaining its containment capacity.
