Curbell Plastics, Inc. Named Authorized DuPont(TM) SentryGlas® Supplier
Orchard Park, N.Y. (September 22, 2011) - Curbell Plastics, Inc. was recently named the authorized C Quick Ship supplier by DuPont Glass Laminating Solutions for North America.
SentryGlas® is an innovative structural interlayer manufactured by DuPont that is designed to help architects, engineers, and glazed building system manufacturers meet society's need for greater safety and security. Stronger and more rigid than conventional laminating materials, SentryGlas® interlayers allow glass to serve as a more active structural element in minimally supported glass applications, such as facades, canopies and railings. It is also used in numerous missile impact windows, doors, curtain wall, storefront, and skylight systems. James E. Olson, Sales and Development Manager for DuPont's Glass Laminating Solutions noted: "The Quick Ship program was designed to get common sizes and material configurations to customers more efficiently. At present, Curbell will offer 60 and 90 mil SentryGlas® interlayer sheets, cut to size, in rectangular sizes up to 72"x120".
As part of their increased focus on the glass and glazing market Curbell welcomes Liz Grimes as Business Development Manager for Security Glazing and Safety Eyewear. Liz brings 22 years of experience in the plastics industry to Curbell. As an experienced market development specialist Grimes has written numerous technical articles for the International Association of Plastic Distributors and the Plastics Distributor and Fabricator Magazine. She is currently serving as an at-large board member for the Philadelphia Section of the Society of Plastics Engineers. In her new role she will focus on developing the market for SentryGlas® materials and helping customers to better understand all of the benefits plastics can offer. "Many customers in the glass lamination industry do not know about all of the products we have to offer them," says Grimes, "Educating these customers about the ways we can help make their jobs easier will be a big part of my focus".
