Description

Saflex® Structural interlayer is a PVB interlayer designed for applications where interlayer rigidity and high glass adhesion requirements for laminated glass are critical. In properly designed systems, Saflex Structural is capable of containing glass shards at high and low temperatures after impact and under load—even in open edge laminated glass.


Due to the strength and stiffness of the Saflex® Structural interlayer, laminated glass can either sustain a higher uniform load for a given configuration or the glass thickness can be reduced while keeping the same load and area as compared to conventional laminated glass. Saflex® Structural interlayer is formulated to provide strong resistance to delamination in open edge exposed applications and is compatible with most visibly reflective, low emissivity, and ceramic frit coatings. Saflex® Structural interlayer also has good sealant compatibility performance. Saflex® PVB interlayers have been awarded the Gold level Material Health Certificate from the Cradle to Cradle Products Innovation Institute. Cradle to Cradle Certified™ is the global, science-based standard for products that are safe, circular, and responsibly made.


Features and benefits:

  • Manufactured with post-breakage safety, meaning that the higher load capability sustains safety after breakage.
  • Superior edge stability enhances delamination resistance.
  • Enhanced unit strength enables thinner glass to reduce weight and cost.
  • Enhanced interlayer strength enables thinner glass to reduce weight and cost.
  • 3.2 m width improves throughput and reduces costs.
  • Compatible with Vanceva Colors.
