Eastman is pleased to announce that Saflex LiteCarbon Clear has been chosen by AGC Glass Europe to introduce an innovative, low carbon laminated glass solution for the residential market. This association combines Eastman’s Saflex LiteCarbon Clear interlayer with AGC’s Low-Carbon Glass, offering a pioneering product as part of the Low-Carbon Stratobel solutions that meet the growing demand for environmentally friendly building materials.
As the building and construction industry increasingly focuses on reducing carbon emissions, this initiative aims to provide industrial window makers with a solution that reduces embodied carbon without compromising on quality or performance. The combined product ensures high transparency and safety standards, making it ideal for residential applications.
By integrating this innovative interlayer into the Low-Carbon Stratobel offering, AGC Glass Europe provides a significant reduction in embodied carbon, aligning with their customers' sustainability objectives.
“We are excited to have been selected by AGC Glass Europe to bring this complete low carbon solution to the market,” said Oliver Osborne, commercial director of AMI architecture with Eastman. “This association reflects our shared commitment to sustainability, providing solutions that align with global environmental goals.”
Saflex LiteCarbon Clear is a PVB interlayer of 0.76 mm featuring a reduced Global Warming Potential of 2.4 kg(1) CO2 eq/m². This represents an ideal synergy with AGC Low-Carbon Glass which features a reduced Global Warming Potential of 5.5 kg(2) CO2 eq/m² (for 4 mm float glass).
