Toughening and processing

Toughening: Each pane is toughened before the panes are laminated, so every size and hole is fixed first.
Processing: Edges polished after lamination.
Note 1: Thickness is the panes plus the interlayer: 17.5 mm is two 8 mm panes with a 1.5 mm interlayer.

Care

Laminated glass edges are sealed with a neutral-cure silicone that is compatible with the interlayer. Acetic (vinegar-smelling) silicone and solvent sealants attack the interlayer and the edge clouds.
