In recent years, other manufacturers have produced and sold interlayers that do not have the same properties as SentryGlas庐, but they are using the name 鈥淪GP鈥 to refer to those interlayers in order to benefit from the long-standing quality and reputation associated with the SentryGlas庐 brand. Kuraray feels it is important for the glass industry to understand that authentic SentryGlas庐 products are not associated with SGP, and one should not expect SGP products to perform at SentryGlas庐 product levels.
Kuraray has now consolidated reference for SentryGlas庐 products as 鈥淪G鈩⑩ and has recently obtained a US trademark registration for SG鈩.
While the acronym SGP was used when the product 鈥淪entryGlas庐 Plus鈥 was first introduced by DuPont in 1998, the 鈥淧lus鈥 was dropped from the name over 10 years ago.
Unfortunately, the SGP moniker has persisted in the industry, and its use is now causing confusion with authentic SentryGlas庐 products.
In order to avoid confusion, the proper designation SG鈩 should be used when requesting or referencing authentic SentryGlas庐 interlayers.
In addition to SentryGlas庐, Kuraray also produces the next generation in the product line, SentryGlas庐 Xtra鈩 (SGX鈩).
