Saflex Clear

Makes architectural glazing safer and secure

Enhanced safety for architectural laminated glass 

Globally, architects and designers rely on Saflex Clear PVB interlayers in laminated glass to help meet regional standards for safety glass while protecting people and property. Unlike monolithic glass, properly designed laminated glazing made with Saflex interlayer:

  • Reduces the risk of injury from broken glass.
  • Holds glass in place, preventing glass shards from becoming dangerous flying or falling glass fragments.  
  • Can help maintain the building envelope even after impact.

Designing security into laminated glass

The trend toward using more glass in building design has increased the need for additional protection.  Saflex Clear PVB interlayer enhances laminated glass by:

  • Helping prevent injuries and can help delay forced entry.
  • Can help resist entry or penetration in cases of bomb blasts, ballistic attack, forced entry, or similar other types of vandalism.
  • Combining with Vanceva color and Earth Tones to create safe spaces without sacrificing style or comfort.
