SaflexTM Solar

Saflex interlayers are plasticized polyvinyl butyral (PVB) sheeting produced by Eastman and its affiliates. These interlayers are bonded through a heat and pressure process to two or more pieces of glazing to produce laminates with impact and glass containment properties. Saflex Solar interlayers, SG and SH formulations, are very effective, high visible light transmitting, solar control products designed to produce glass laminates with enhanced solar heat gain performance as compared to monolithic clear glass and laminates with conventional clear PVB interlayer. Saflex Solar utilizes an absorbing technology that can be used alone, in conjunction with other Saflex and Vanceva™ color interlayers, spectrally select and coated glasses and as one or more lites in insulating glass units (IGU). The product is designed for use in exterior laminated glazing, especially in markets that require solar control configurations not easily adapted to the inclusion of low-e glazing or complex configurations. Laminated glass with Saflex Solar is ideal for use in retrofit applications where the overall thickness for the glass unit is limited, the glass is curved, or the framing system cannot accommodate an IGU or for historic reasons the frame cannot be modified. Saflex Solar are supplied in a variety of roll lengths and widths. Most common standard roll lengths are 250 meters in the thickness of 0.76 mm.
