Polyvinyl butyral (PVB) interlayer is a thin film extruded from PVB resin mixed with plasticizer and additives. Polyvinyl butyral (PVB) is the most common interlayer used in laminated glass. Polyvinyl butyral (PVB) is a clear, colorless, amorphous thermoplastic obtained by condensation reaction of polyvinyl alcohol and butyraldehyde. The resin is known for its excellent flexibility, film-forming, impact resistance, penetration resistance, sound insulating and good adhesion properties as well as outstanding UV resistance.
The PVB interlayer majorly classified into standard polyvinyl butyral and structural polyvinyl butyral. Structural polyvinyl butyral offers properties which turned wide used in some part of automotive & construction industry. Standard PVB interlayers are used in more than 70% of laminated glass applications. The major function of these interlayers is to enhance the safety and security performance, and improve the acoustic and UV protection performance of the glass. The most important application of PVB interlayer is laminated safety glass for automobile windshields. It also finds various end user industry applications includes building & construction, security glass, bulletproof glass as well as in the photovoltaic industry to improve the long-term durability of solar modules.in addition it also used in flexible packaging applications due to its non-toxic nature.
