Product catalog summary
Overview: Saflex® Solar interlayers are designed to enhance solar heat gain performance in laminated glass by absorbing infrared (IR) radiation while maintaining high visible light transmittance. These interlayers are suitable for applications requiring strengthened glass and are compatible with other Saflex interlayers and coatings.
Specifications: Saflex Solar interlayers come in two options: Saflex Solar SG, which offers the highest performance, and Saflex Solar SH, which has a more color-neutral appearance. Both options are available in a thickness of 0.76 mm and various standard widths and lengths.
Technical Properties: The interlayers have a solar transmittance of 37% for SG and 51% for SH, with solar reflectance of 6% and 5%, respectively. They also exhibit low UV transmittance (<0.01%) and high visible light transmittance (76% for SG and 83% for SH).
Applications: Saflex Solar interlayers are ideal for curved glass applications, low-reflection glazing, premium retail showrooms, external glazed façades, and digital signage, especially in hot regions.
Durability and Safety: Saflex Solar is formulated for exceptional durability against natural weathering and meets many safety glazing regulations. It is recommended by the Skin Cancer Foundation as an effective UV protectant.
Usage Recommendations: For advanced usage opportunities, Saflex Solar can be combined with low-e coatings or robust solar control coatings. Consultation with an Eastman technical representative is advised for specific configurations.

Saflex Solar Product Bulletin-1

Saflex® Solar interlayers Advanced solar absorbing interlayer technology for laminated glass SaflexNX/ Saflex® Solar interlayers are high-visible light transmittance, infrared (IR) radiation-absorbing interlayers designed to enhance solar heat gain performance in laminated glass compared to monolithic clear glass and laminates made with conventional polyvinyl butyral (PVB) interlayer. They have the capability to meet or exceed many regulations for laminated safety glazing when properly selected, laminated, and installed. The ideal solar product eliminates UV and NIR energy while allowing as much visible light transmittance as possible. As shown in the adjacent chart, Saflex Solar has the transmittance of a highly effective high-visible light transmittance solar product. Plus, Saflex Solar is specifically formulated to provide exceptional durability when exposed to natural weathering. Saflex Solar is compatible with other Saflex interlayers such as Saflex Clear and Saflex Structural, as well as Vanceva® color Interlayer systems. In specific configurations, Saflex can be advantageously combined with low-e coatings or robust solar control coatings. Saflex Solar is the PVB formulation of choice for applications where strengthened glass is specified to provide additional load or stress resistance (e.g., point-fixed system). Two options are available in the Saflex Solar range: Saflex Solar SG is our highest-performing Solar PVB interlayer, Saflex Solar SH has a more color-neutral appearance and may be laminated with annealed glass in some applications. Contact your Eastman technical representative for further information on these advanced usage opportunities. Applications • Curved glass applications • Low-reflection glazing • Premium retail showrooms • External glazed facades (especially in hot regions) • Digital signage
