Laminated glass is a type of safety glass.
It is made by bonding two or more layers of glass with an interlayer.
The interlayer is usually a polymeric material such as polyvinyl butyral.
Because of this multilayer structure, laminated glass does not fall apart easily when broken.
When it breaks, the broken glass pieces stick to the interlayer.
This reduces the risk of injury due to flying sharp pieces.
That is why laminated glass is used in car windshields.
Now consider the statement:
\[
\text{It shatters into sharp pieces.}
\]
This is not a characteristic of laminated glass.
Ordinary glass may shatter into sharp pieces, but laminated glass is designed to hold together when broken.
Therefore, the statement which is not a characteristic of laminated glass is:
\[
\text{It shatters into sharp pieces}.
\]
