LOS ANGELES, CA, May 2019 – Pulp Studio, designers and manufacturers of decorative glass for commercial markets, has added DermaGlass™ to its catalog of architectural glass. According to Pulp Studio, DermaGlass™ is a highly durable, light-weight glass that is strong enough for exteriors and facades, as well as interiors.
Pulp Studio states DermaGlass™ is only 1.3mm in thickness, yet it is as durable and damage resistant as more traditional thicker heat-treated glass. Using an ion-exchange process, DermaGlass™ is highly resilient and extremely versatile. Due to its thin profile it can be used by designers to bend the glass around columns or into decorative shapes.
Pulp Studio’s new ultra-thin and durable DermaGlass™ versus regular glass.
“We have been perfecting DermaGlass™ for more than two years; we knew there was a void in the decorative and technical architectural glass market for something that provides both exceptional strength and durability as well as the ability to be ‘designed’, and DermaGlass™ is that product,” said Bernard Lax, founder and CEO of Pulp Studio. “The fact that DermaGlass™ weighs so much less than traditional glass products makes it perfect for indoor applications like elevator cab panels that need both high strength and minimal weight. We are excited about continuing to find creative uses for this new product family.”
Available in sizes up to 58” x 118” DermaGlass™ can be used with Pintura back-painted coatings or laminated with graphic interlayers. The glass can be also be produced with a honeycombed core for additional safety. Pulp Studio says that DermaGlass™ panels fit together seamlessly, providing architects, developers and builders with the perfect solution when architectural glass is needed.
According to Pulp Studio, DermaGlass™ meets the following US standards for indoor use:
- CPSC 16
- CFR 1201
- ANSI Z97.1-2009
- ASTM E84
- ANSI maximum impact Class A
- CPSC maximum impact level Cat II
