    Ceramic Frit Compatibility with SentryGlas® Interlayers


    This bulletin reviews the compatibility of DuPont™ SentryGlas® interlayer
    with several DuPont-tested frit coatings used in modern glazing. Ceramic
    frits can be specified in a variety of colors and patterns for aesthetics or
    solar control in laminated glass. These vitreous compounds are applied
    to the glass by screen-printing, roll-coating, spraying, or curtain-coating
    following the frit suppliers’ processing instructions. They are then heat-
    treated to create a permanent coating. When such a fritted surface comes
    in contact with the laminating interlayer, it is important to verify lasting
    compatibility between the frit and the interlayer. Moisture and salts, for
    example, can be detrimental to frit coatings over time. Testing therefore
    requires extended contact between materials under controlled conditions.
    The table below lists tests DuPont uses to assess the compatibility of
    interlayers and ceramic frit.

    DuPont has conducted these tests on laminates made with SentryGlas®


    ionoplast and fritted glass, to observe changes in color, appearance, or
    defects such as corrosion of coating, bubbles, delaminations and other
    defects. At the conclusion of testing with the following ceramic frits,
    DuPont™ SentryGlas® interlayer showed no observable visual defects:
