Discover Satinal’s Innovative STRATO® RIGIDO: Elevating Structural Protection and Design Flexibility in Laminated Glass
In the ever-evolving landscape of architectural innovation, Satinal introduces an extraordinary advancement with its latest offering – STRATO® RIGIDO. This cutting-edge structural interlayer sets new standards for impact resistance and design versatility in laminated glass applications. Let’s delve into the features, applications, and creative possibilities that make STRATO® RIGIDO a game-changer in the realm of architectural glass.
Enhancing Structural Integrity: The Power of STRATO® RIGIDO
At the core of STRATO® RIGIDO is its ability to provide exceptional protection against strong impacts. Even in the unfortunate event of a glass component breaking, the laminated structure remains resilient, ensuring both stability and safety. This innovative solution requires lamination with two sheets of STRATO® EVA film, a thermosetting material that forms three-dimensional bonds at the molecular level during the lamination process. This characteristic makes STRATO® EVA laminated glass structurally sound, surpassing the limitations of traditional PVB film.
Versatility in Applications: From Indoor to Outdoor
One remarkable aspect of STRATO® RIGIDO is its compatibility with a range of applications. Unlike hygroscopic materials, STRATO® RIGIDO is not sensitive to moisture, making it ideal for both indoor and outdoor use. Paired with STRATO® EVA film, it withstands humidity, water, and temperature fluctuations, ensuring a robust solution for various environmental conditions. Architects and designers can now confidently integrate STRATO® EVA laminated glasses into projects regardless of weather extremes.
Transparency Options for Every Design Need
When transparency is paramount, laminating STRATO® RIGIDO with two sheets of STRATO® CLEAR EVA film becomes the preferred choice. Known as the non-plus-ultra of EVA films for the architectural glass market, STRATO® CLEAR EVA provides a completely natural, transparent, and neutral-looking glass. Its high degree of transparency and UV protection make it an ideal solution for projects where clarity is essential.
However, privacy is often a crucial consideration in architectural design. STRATO® RIGIDO addresses this by offering compatibility with the STRATO® FROST EVA film product range. With three distinct finishings – STRATO® LEGGERO, STRATO® SATINATO, and STRATO® LATTE – this combination allows for various levels of opaque effects and transparencies, catering to design preferences with light transmission ranging from 2% to 65%. Additionally, STRATO® FROST EVA plays a dual role by capturing and diffusing light uniformly, without reflections.
Integrating Colors: STRATO® RIGIDO Meets Design Aesthetics
Adding another layer of customization, STRATO® RIGIDO can be paired with STRATO® COLOUR EVA film. This collection offers a spectrum of solid and transparent colors, allowing architects and designers to infuse vibrant hues and safety into their projects seamlessly. The combination of STRATO® COLOUR EVA, STRATO® RIGIDO, and STRATO® FROST EVA film opens up endless possibilities for achieving perfect color-frosted finishes.
Multilayer Combinations: The Essence of Safety and Style
Safety and stiffness are paramount in architectural projects, and the STRATO® product range perfectly balances these elements. STRATO® RIGIDO, when assembled with two sheets of STRATO® EVA and two panes of glass, provides an exceptional level of structural safety. The versatility of STRATO® RIGIDO extends further, allowing for multiple combinations with various panes of glass, STRATO® RIGIDO, and STRATO® EVA films.
For a visual understanding, refer to the infographic examples below illustrating how panes of glass can be creatively combined with multiple sheets of STRATO® RIGIDO and STRATO® EVA films. These combinations not only meet but exceed architectural guidelines, ensuring structural safety for diverse projects, including buildings, canopies, ceilings, floors, facades, and more.
Dimensions, Thickness, and Length: Tailoring to Project Needs
Understanding the importance of diverse project requirements, STRATO® RIGIDO is available in different formats, widths, thicknesses, and roll lengths. Satinal Spa, being the first EVA film production site in Italy, takes pride in offering a product that is 100% made in Italy and meets the highest standards. STRATO® RIGIDO, with its variety of sizes and thicknesses, caters to a spectrum of project needs, ensuring adaptability and reliability.
The application of STRATO® EVA film involves a precise process, requiring careful consideration of applied temperatures and cycle times. Satinal’s commitment to quality is evident through rigorous quality controls conducted in its Research and Development Lab. Satinal’s deep experience in working with EVA-based materials is essential in unlocking the full potential of STRATO® RIGIDO, ensuring perfect adhesion to glass surfaces and unleashing its capabilities across diverse applications.
