Results for tag: "Glass Interlayer"

Safety glass is a type of glass that is designed to be more resistant to breakage and shattering than regular glass. It is commonly used in applications where human safety is a concern, such as in automobiles, buildings, and other structures. Glass interlayers are a key component of safety glass, providing additional strength and protection against breakage. Glass interlayers are typically made from polyvinyl butyral (PVB) or ethylene-vinyl acetate (EVA) and are sandwiched between two or more layers of glass. The interlayer acts as a shock absorber, preventing the glass from shattering and reducing the risk of injury. It also provides additional insulation, soundproofing, and UV protection. The glass interlayer market is growing rapidly, driven by increasing demand for safety glass in the automotive and construction industries. The market is expected to benefit from the increasing use of safety glass in residential and commercial buildings, as well as the growing demand for energy-efficient windows. Some of the major players in the glass interlayer market include Eastman Chemical Company, Kuraray Co. Ltd., Sekisui Chemical Co. Ltd., Solutia Inc., and DuPont. Show Less Read more
