The strength
of INTRUDERPRUFE at preventing criminals from intruding
into a building or breaking through a shopfront is already
well known. What is sometimes less appreciated is the performance
INTRUDERPRUFE offers in blocking the intrusion of unwelcome
noise and UV light. INTRUDERPRUFE also prevents a simple
fall against a large window from turning into a tragic accident.
INTRUDERPRUFE is a clear laminated glass, made from two
layers of clear float glass, permanently bonded together
by pressure and heat with one or more Polyvinyl Butyral
(PVB) plastic interlayers . The result is an SABS approved
safety glass that can withstand many blows from a would-be
intruder.
INTRUDERPRUFE comes in three performance variations. These
are:
• Normal Strength (NS) for human impact safety - 0.38 mm
PVB
• High Penetration Resistant (HPR) for additional security
- 0.76 mm PVB
• High Impact (HI) for security in high risk applications
- 1.52 mm PVB
PFG INTRUDERPRUFE glass has been tested by repeatedly dropping
a 225g steel ball from a height of 9 metres. Each drop approximately
equaling the blow from a hammer. The number of blows required
to penetrate the glass are recorded in the table below.

the size of the hole at penetration point is approximately
50mm in diameter, many more blows are required to gain access.
Product
and Design Considerations |
To assist in optimising design and
specifications, PFG Building Glass offers a technical
advisory service covering most appropriate product for each
for each application; economy, thermal stability, Building
Regulations, guarantees and local and international product
standards, For maximum benefit to the project this should
ideally commence before working drawings
begin.
