Resilient Materials: Laminated Glass Interlayers for Increased Safety & Protection Global Platform for Disaster Risk Reduction May 22, 2013 Jonathan Cohen, Global Business Director, DuPont SentryGlas® Contact :

Protecting People & Property Terrorist attacks are on the rise Impacts on human safety and capital related to both natural and manmade disasters likely to increase 2 Severity of climate related events Urbanization

A new Construction Material for DRR Glass : increasingly popular and desirable material Standard glass can cause major destruction, injuries and death Nickel sulphide spontenaous breakage When combined with SentryGlas® interlayer, laminated glass provides security and enhanced safety 3 Facilities vulnerable to severe weather conditions & bomb blasts High risk of injury or death from flying and falling debris High risk of destruction inside buildings

Improved Bomb Blast Protection With SentryGlas® Injuries from flying glass are minimized Broken fragments of glass are retained Improved protection to building occupants Broken SentryGlas® laminates remain in place, protecting building contents from vandalism 4 Industrial Accidents Terrorism Civil Unrest

Improved Protection from Severe Weather With SentryGlas® laminates Resist effects of windborne debris impact and sustained high winds in storms Reduce catastrophic failures caused by internal pressurization of the building SentryGlas® laminates remain in place after breakage and serve as a weather barrier until replacement can be made Building protected from vandalism 5

Building Codes & Best Practices Building codes are typically representative of minimum requirements for construction.. There are building code requirements for buildings that are located in earthquake and hurricane prone areas of the United States Security from manmade attacks or terrorism is seen as a level above the minimum requirements Government agencies, such as the U.S. State Department and the UK Home Office are the entities that generate security glazing requirements for their buildings. 6
