Difference between Kuraray SGP and China SGP
SentryGlas®Plus (SGP) is an ionic interlayer used in laminated glass,developed by Dupont and now
part of Kuraray.
 Its tearing strength&Shearing modulus is 5 times that of PVB, and hardness is 100 times that of PVB.
 At room temperature, the bending deflection of SGP laminated glass is similar to that of equal thickness
glass. Compared with PVB laminated glass, SGP laminated glass has higher structural rigidity and
bending resistance, and the bearing capacity is twice that pf same thickness PVB laminated glass.
 The application of SGP laminated glass can effectively reduce the thickness of the glass, thereby reducing
the weight of the curtain wall.
 SGP laminated glass is more resistant to the influence of temperature environment .
 SGP itself is colorless and transparent, and is not easy to yellow. When combined with ultra-white glass
(low iron glass, high transmittance glass), it can achieve top crystal clear optical Effect;
 SGP has excellent edge stability, moisture resistance, and will not de-laminate due to moisture.

 The broken SGP laminated glass has small bending deformation and can withstand a certain amount of
load, unlike PVB laminated glass after being broken. In addition, SGP can greatly improve the
anti-collision performance, anti-theft, anti-riot performance and anti-disaster performance of the glass.
SGP's high strength, high transparency, and durability make it easy to adapt to the latest and most
stringent requirements of today's construction market.
Recent years,many China interlayer manufacturers also developed similar products,featured
manufacturers include Qun’an, Fullsbond,Jingdun,and Huakai ,etc.With cheaper price and similar
performance,China made SGP is becoming perfect substitute of Kuraray SGP product.Compared with
Kuraray ,China made SGP has below advantages:
 Better price. China local SGP price is 50% cheaper than Trosifol SGP.
 Flexible width:Kuraray SGP has limited width options,while China one can be customized.
 No production authorization. Factories don’t need to get authorization.
 Factories don’t need to report prior production.Even though Kuraray authorized SGP glass manufacturers
need to report several months before production,but for China SGP,no limitation.
The interlayer manufacturers also passed the tests for laminated glass,including boiling water
test,podium impact test,and some even got Miami Dade hurricane proof windows &glass test.Many
customers select to use China SGP to replace Kuraray SGP for limited budget.

But customers don’t know clearly the performance between China made SGP and real SGP
products,Mr Zhouzhen in Kuraray China issued a report analyse the difference.
1. Raw material difference.
Kuraray SGP use special ionic resin for construction grade as raw material and production finished in USA and
the Czech. Kuraray is the sole purchaser of DuPont ionic resin for construction.The resin has high light
transmittance,high bonding strength,high weather resistance and less yellow color.
Local imitators cannot purchase DuPont’s special ionic resin for construction, it will generally use DuPont
resins used in cosmetic bottle caps and bottle bodies, and added part of the wastes of Kuraray SentryGlas®
plus, and mixed them.
2. Optical performance difference.
Kuraray SentryGlas® Plus has high light transmittance (low fog Degree), excellent optical properties
such as low yellowing index.
Other domestic SGPs have shortcomings such as high haze and high yellowing index.If applied in
Large, thicke, multi-layer glass and ultra-white laminated glass will have heavy fogging and yellowish
problem.
3. Bonding strength difference.
Kuraray SGP has higher adhesion to glass.Other domestic SGP films have low adhesion to glass, which is
easy to cause de-lamination problem.

4.Moisture and solvent resistance difference
Kuraray SentryGlas® has excellent moisture and solvent resistance and will not be embrittled under the action
of water or organic solvents. Able to maintain the material integrity.
Other China SGP films have poor solvent resistance, and even under the action of weak organic solvents (75%
alcohol solvent), the materials are easy to become brittle and disintegrate.
Some domestic SGP films will be brittle and damaged even under cold water.
The test can be found on page 8 of original complete report:Kuraray SGP VS China SGP
5.Weather resistance
Since Kuraray SentryGlas® was invented in the 1990s, the actual product has been made into laminated glass.
All laminated glass samples are placed in the weathering laboratory in Florida, USA for natural exposure aging
experiments without protective measures. It has been more than twenty years since then. After more than 20
years of natural aging, none of the samples showed defects such as bubbles or whitening. Kuraray also issued
a declaration of no defects in 20.5 years .
All domestic SGP films have been promoted in the market in the last 2-3 years. Since the raw materials they
use are completely different from Kuraray SentryGlas®, these materials cannot prove the reliability of
long-term weathering and aging resistance.

Project analysis:

6
China made SGP interlayer was used in Malaysian project, serious delaminating accident occurred. The
problem of batch quality problem began to occur about 6 months after the glass installation,finally 30% glass
finally had problem. Finally, glass processors and curtain wall companies had to replace all defective glass,
which eventually caused huge losses.
Glass structure: 6mm tempered glass + 1.52mm domestic SGP + 10mm low iron tempered glass,
Glass size: 424mm x 424mm = 11,100 pieces 550mm x 300mm = 140 pieces
600mm x 350mm = 980 pieces
Project completion date: 1st quarter of 2018
Glass degumming date: 4th quarter of 2018
With above analysis,based on the basic safety performance requirements, please consider using genuine
Kuraray SentryGlas® Plus with long-term safety performance guarantee for your projects.
Morn is your one stop SGP laminated glass manufacturer and supplier, we recommend Kuraray SGP
laminated glass instead of inferior quality ones.Kindly contact us for more info.
