Product catalog summary
Product Overview: Saflex® Crystal Clear is a polyvinyl butyral (PVB) interlayer designed for laminated glass, offering a color-neutral aesthetic. It meets various safety glass standards such as ANSI Z26.1 and EN 12600. The interlayer is durable against weathering and compatible with infrared reflective, metal-coated glasses.
Available Forms: Supplied in roll form with a standard length of 250 meters and a thickness of 0.76mm. It is available only in a color-neutral form designated as RB4N.
Storage Conditions: Store inside the moisture barrier bag and use within two years to prevent blocking.
Laminating Conditions: A detailed Laminating Guide is available through Saflex representatives.
Properties:
  • Flammability: Extent of burning is 7.9 mm, with a heat of combustion of 31 MJ/kg.
  • Mechanical: Elongation at failure is 270% (ISO 527-3), tensile strength is 23 MPa (ISO 527-3).
  • Optical: Haze is less than 1%, refractive index is 1.479.
  • Physical: Glass transition temperature is 25°C, hardness is 77 Shore A.
  • Solar and Thermal: Solar transmittance is 82%, solar heat gain coefficient is 0.85.
Modulus Data: Relaxation modulus and Young’s modulus are provided for structural calculations, varying with temperature and load duration.
Disclaimer: Information is provided in good faith but without warranty. Users should determine suitability for their purposes.

Saflex Crystal Clear Product Technical Data-1

PRODUCT TECHNICAL DATA Saflex® Crystal Clear – Polyvinyl Butyral Interlayer Saflex® interlayers are plasticized polyvinyl butyral (PVB) sheeting produced by Eastman and its affiliates. These interlayers are permanently bonded through a heat and pressure process to two or more pieces of glazing to produce laminates with impact and glass containment properties. Saflex Crystal Clear PVB interlayer is Eastman’s interlayer that provides a highly desirable aesthetic to create the most color-neutral laminated glass available from the Saflex portfolio. Aiming to enhance the natural aesthetics of low-iron glass, Saflex Crystal Clear was designed to remain virtually undetectable at any visible angle, in any light. Laminated glasses with the properly laminated Saflex Crystal Clear PVB are capable of being classified as safety glass in accordance with, but not limited to, various regulations such as ANSI Z26.1, ANSI Z97.1, AS/NZS 2208; CNS 1183, CPSC 16 CFR 1201, EN 12600 and ISO 29584. Product Overview: Saflex Crystal Clear PVB interlayer, has demonstrably met or exceeded many regulations for laminated safety glazing (including those listed above) when properly selected, laminated, and installed. Saflex Crystal Clear was specifically formulated to provide exceptional durability when exposed to natural weathering, especially when laminate edges are left unprotected from the elements. Saflex Crystal Clear PVB interlayers have been shown to be compatible and durable when laminated in intimate contact with most infrared reflective, metal coated glasses. Saflex Crystal Clear PVB interlayer can be combined with other Saflex and Vanceva PVB interlayers designated for the architectural market. More information on Saflex Crystal Clear PVB interlayer can be found at www.saflex.com or by contacting your local Eastman representatives. Available Forms: All Saflex interlayers are supplied in roll form on 15.2 cm (6 inch) diameter cores. Saflex Crystal Clear PVB interlayer is supplied in a variety of roll lengths and widths. The most common standard roll length is 250 meters (820 feet). The thickness is 0.76mm (0.030 inch). Saflex Crystal Clear PVB interlayer is available only in its color neutral form and is designated as RB4N. Storage Conditions: Saflex Crystal Clear PVB interlayer should be stored inside the moisture barrier bag that the roll is shipped in and maintained within the temperatures recommended in the Saflex laminating guide. It is recommended that the interlayer be used within a two- year period from purchase to minimize the sheet adhering to itself on the roll (blocking). Laminating Conditions: A Laminating Guide which details recommended practices for storage, handling and lamination is available to Eastman’s laminating partners. This technical guide is available only from a Saflex Technical Service (TS) Representative or Saflex Sales Manager. To find the name of the Saflex representative for your organization, call 1-800-636-8670.
