Abstract:
The present invention discloses a curved bullet-proof composite having glass, glass- ceramic or flexible ceramic in the strike-face layer in order to be mechanically curved during a low heat (temperature) and pressure lamination process. The composites can be made of one or more gravity and heat-curved glass, glass-ceramic or ceramic layers in one or more intermediate layers. In addition, the present invention discloses a process for manufacturing the glass of the instant invention, comprising the following steps: a) size (cut) glass or glass-ceramic in the strike-face layer and intermediate layers to the geometry or shape of the curved bullet-proof composite; b) edge glass finishing, glass-ceramic or ceramic; c) individually curve by means of gravity and temperature the glass or glass-ceramic intermediate layers; d) carryout an ion exchange process of one or several glass and/or glass-ceramics of the strike-face layer and intermediate layers; e) paint the black stripe using organic paint on the strike-face layer and/or one of the intermediate layers; f) assemble the strike-face layer, intermediate layers, adhesive materials and the internal plastic layer; and g) mechanically curve during pressure and heat lamination the strike-face layer, intermediate layers, adhesive materials and the internal plastic layer.
