2 1992 the Story Begins 1992 Hurricane Andrew Hits Homestead as a Category 5 Hurricane with winds gust of 270 KPH $26 billion in damage Most of the damage was caused by the very high winds Improvements to Glazing System Design Could Have Prevented Much of the Damage Seen March 15, 2018 Trosifol Business 2

3 Effect of Hurricane Andrew Many insurance companies left the state of Florida Miami Dade County developed new performance requirements for windows, doors, storefronts, curtain walls, and skylights, as well as storm shutters based on testing Certification program adopted to qualify systems March 15, 2018 Trosifol Business 3

4 Impact Glazing Requirements in Florida ASTM D1996-Impact and ASTM D1886-Cycling Levels of Protection and Impact Test Requirements Level of Protection Assembly elevation Wind Zone 1 49 m/s (110 mph) basic wind speed < 54 m/s (120 mph) Wind Zone 2 54 m/s (120 mph) basic wind speed < 58 m/s (130 mph) at greater than 1.6 km (one mile) from the coastline Wind Zone 3 58 m/s (130 mph) basic wind speed 63 m/s (140 mph), or 54 m/s (120 mph) basic wind speed 63 m/s (140 mph) and within 1.6 km (one mile) of the coastline Wind Zone 4 basic wind speed > 63 m/s (140 mph) Basic Protection 9.1 m > 9.1 m (30 ft) (30 ft) Enhanced protection 9.1 m (30 ft) > 9.1 m (30 ft) C A D D C A D D D A E D D A E D Loading Sequence Cyclic Static Pressure Differential Loading Loading Direction Air Pressure Cycles N. of Air Pressure Cycles 1 Positive 0.2 P Ppos Positive 0.0 P Ppos Positive 0.5 P Ppos Positive 0.3 P Ppos Negative 0.3 P Pneg 50 6 Negative 0.5 P Pneg Negative 0. 0 P Pneg 50 8 Negative 0.2 P Pneg 3350 Cycling pressure used is determined by design pressure of the building for the maximum inward (Ppos) and maximum outward (Pneg) air pressure differential for which qualification is sought.

5 What is Impact Glazing Laminated Glass Two or more lites of glass and one or more interlayers Glass retention if breakage occurs Types of laminated glass Polyvinyl butyral (PVB) Ionoplast Laminated Glass Glass Interlayer Glass Typical Constructions 6 mm HS Glass/ 2.28 mm interlayer/ 6 mm HS Glass for Large Missile impact 6 mm HS Glass/1.52 mm or 0.89 mm interlayer/ 6 mm HS Glass for Small Missile Impact

6 1998 SentryGlas Introduced to the Hurricane Glazing Impact Market High modulus interlayer 100 x stiffer and 5x more tear resistant than PVB Designed to meet the highest requirements of impact and system design pressure-hvhz ( High Velocity Hurricane Zone) High modulus enables the use of dry glaze systems Lower system cost Superior edge stability- Excellent for open edge applications March 15, 2018 Trosifol Business 6

10 SentryGlas Stiffness Enables Use of Dry Glaze Systems Wet glazed systems Often used for shop glazed fenestration products Commonly used for the High Velocity Hurricane Zone (Wind Zone 4) PVB based interlayers must be wet glazed to pass the required cycling test Dry glazed systems Especially suitable for job site glazed fenestration systems Dry glazing eliminates the use of wet sealants and more closely replicated the as tested conditions Large missile impact systems have been certified up to psf Cost savings in terms of labor and materials Time savings in replacing broken glass Assurance that system is properly glazed March 15, 2018 Trosifol Business 10

13 Beyond Hurricane and Wind Borne Debris Protection Early 2000 other benefits beyond wind borne debris protection were discovered Coupling effect Thinner glass and higher loads than with PVB Superior post breakage strength Enhanced safety beyond PVB Stairs, floors, walkways, railings March 15, 2018 Trosifol Business 13

14 Coupling Effect- Effective Thickness Coupling Effect (Structural Interlayer) No Coupling Effect (Standard PVB) 6.5 mm 5 mm 5 mm 10 mm 5 mm 5 mm SentryGlas provide a coupling effect allowing for thinner glass to be used in some cases March 15, 2018 Trosifol Business 14

15 Effective Thickness vs Temperature Stiff PVB Ionoplast PVB Increase in temperature lowers shear modulus reducing the coupling effect and effective thickness March 15, 2018 Trosifol Business 15

20 SentryGlas Strength Enables Cost Effective Systems Considerations in Glazing Designs Glass thickness reduction due to the structural coupling approach with SentryGlas Cost (materials) savings due to thinner cheaper float glass Stiffness allows for dry glazing saving cost of silicone and on site installation Reduced handling and processing costs-reduction in weight of glass results in less handling and reduced transportation cost Large panels can be used which require fewer metal attachments March 15, 2018 Trosifol Business 20
