Saflex™ FlySafe™ 3D PVB interlayer

Saflex™ FlySafe™ 3D PVB interlayer

Product catalog summary
Introduction
Bird collisions with glass buildings are a significant global issue, resulting in billions of bird deaths annually. Eastman addresses this with Saflex™ FlySafe™ 3D, a bird-friendly PVB interlayer designed to reduce these collisions while maintaining aesthetic appeal.

Product Specifications
FlySafe 3D interlayers feature 3D sequins in two sizes (6 mm and 9 mm) and two color options (silver matte and shiny). These sequins are arranged in a grid pattern with 90 mm spacing, suitable for various glass configurations.

Testing and Effectiveness
Flight tunnel tests at Collision Laboratories in Austria confirm the effectiveness of FlySafe 3D in reducing bird collisions. The American Bird Conservancy rates the product with a material threat factor of less than 10 for specific configurations.

Benefits
  • Highly effective in preventing bird collisions.
  • Minimal visual obstruction from inside.
  • Compatible with various Saflex products and coatings.
  • Durable and protected within laminated glass.
  • Contributes to LEED® innovation credit for bird collision deterrence.

Applications
Suitable for use in atriums, link bridges, balustrades, facades, storefronts, and noise protection walls, among others.

Technical Data
Includes specific heat, density, hardness, elongation at failure, Young’s modulus, Poisson’s ratio, shear modulus, tensile strength, thermal expansion, thermal conductivity, haze, refractive index, yellowness index, solar transmittance, visible transmittance, and UV screening.

Conclusion
Saflex FlySafe 3D offers a reliable, effective solution for reducing bird collisions with glass, maintaining safety and aesthetic standards, and supporting environmental sustainability.

Saflex™ FlySafe™ 3D PVB interlayer-1

Saflex™ FlySafe™ 3D PVB interlayer SAflex \\ * » ENHANCE YOUR VISION • Glass fins Birds colliding with glass on buildings is a global problem. Each year, billions of birds are killed as they navigate along migratory pathways and fly into glass windows, link bridges and curtain walls that reflect the open sky and trees. To address this global concern, Eastman presents Saflex™ FlySafe™ 3D and its extended portfolio of options for an effective, low-coverage and bird-friendly PVB interlayer. An innovative and unique solution, FlySafe 3D interlayers enable glass professionals to support the construction industry with a highly effective,1 aesthetically pleasing solution that can be produced with current manufacturing processes. The pattern of FlySafe 3D covers the entire window and consists of 3D sequins available in two sizes, 6 mm (0.24 in.) or 9 mm (0.35 in.) in diameter, separated on all sides by 90 mm (3.54 in.) and oriented equivalently in both horizontal rows and vertical columns. This includes two sequin color options of silver matte and shiny. In addition, FlySafe 3D can be configured with a 9-mm shiny sequin for both the interior and exterior sides, which is ideal for noise protections walls. The 3D reflective technology has been tested using flight tunnels in cooperation with the Collision Laboratories in Hohenau, Austria, which demonstrated the material's effectiveness in mitigating bird collisions. In addition, the American Bird Conservancy (ABC) has given FlySafe 3D a material threat factor of less than 10 for 9-mm shiny sequins not spaced more than 90 mm in a square grid.2 • Highly effective, bird-friendly glazing solution - Tested using flight tunnels at Collision Laboratories with 9% and 13% approaches1 - Effective in different glass configurations with coatings3 - Contributes to LEED® innovation credit for bird collision deterrence • Visually discreet sequins Minimal visual obstruction from inside • Design freedom Compatible with Saflex Structural, Saflex Acoustic, Saflex Storm and specific coatings • Durable choice Sequins are protected inside laminated glass for maximum durability • Same safety, security, acoustic, storm and UV screening attributes as conventional laminated Saflex products • Link bridges • Overhead and sloped glazing • Podium glass • Noise protection walls 1Flight tunnel testing at Collision Laboratories shows single unit laminates with FlySafe 3D 9-mm diameter matte and shiny sequins are highly effective with approaches at 9% while 6-mm sequins show an effectiveness at 13%. 2Material threat factors can vary for each product, depending on sequin size.
