DuPont is expanding the range of DuPont SentryGlas interlayers to meet a broader range of needs for protective windows, doors and safety-glazed building elements. The newest SentryGlas is available in thinner sheets that provide protection while replacing thicker traditional interlayers. The new offerings broaden architects' and builders' choices for incorporating impact-resistant glass for more protective buildings. And, engineers can design stronger, more durable, more protective building elements such as skylights, rails, stairs, doors or storefronts.
In addition to supplying protective materials, DuPont has done extensive work in providing counsel to Gulf and Atlantic Coast states on stronger building codes and storm proofing, helping to enact hurricane building codes in Florida in 2007, and Miss. and Louisiana in 2005 following damage in the wake of Hurricanes Katrina and Rita.
