Ensuring Protection and Preservation: Kuraray’s Trosifol® UV Extra Protect
Overexposure to UV radiation poses risks to both human health and valuable materials. While the sun’s energy is essential for life, the invisible ultraviolet (UV) light can have detrimental effects. At GlassBalkan, we’re excited to introduce Kuraray’s revolutionary solution – Trosifol® UV Extra Protect. This cutting-edge laminated safety glass interlayer allows visible light to pass through while providing complete protection against harmful UV radiation.
Unveiling a Historic Transformation: Royal Garrison Church
Witness the remarkable implementation of Trosifol® UV Extra Protect in the restoration of the Royal Garrison Church in Portsmouth, UK. With a rich 800-year history, the church required advanced measures to safeguard its precious artifacts and withstand the coastal environment. Thanks to Kuraray’s innovation, this historic gem can now thrive for generations to come.
Preservation and Performance in Perfect Harmony
Collaborating with esteemed architects Caroe & Partners and expert fabricators Bassett and Findley, Daedalus Conservation played a pivotal role in the renovation project. Understanding the significance of the church’s fragile military standards and the need for UV protection, the team chose Trosifol® UV Extra Protect as the interlayer for the glass panels. This specially designed PVB film offered the ideal combination of structural integrity and UV resistance, ensuring the preservation of the church’s historical treasures despite the challenging coastal conditions.
Advancing Preservation with Trosifol® UV Extra Protect
Kuraray’s Trosifol® UV Extra Protect is not only transforming the Royal Garrison Church but also revolutionizing the preservation of cultural artifacts, architectural marvels, and everyday materials exposed to UV radiation. With its exceptional UV-blocking capabilities and impressive performance, this innovative solution is paving the way for enhanced protection and longevity.
