Allgemeine Bauaufsichtliche Zulassung Saflex® Structural PVB High-performance laminate designed for strength ENHANCE YOUR VISION Benefits • Post-breakage safety Higher load capability sustains safety after breakage. • Superior edge stability Enhances delamination resistance • Enhanced unit strength Facilitates oversized glass design • Enhanced interlayer strength Enables thinner glass to reduce weight and cost • Superwide 3.2 m width Improves throughput and reduces costs • Vanceva® Colors compatibility Creates thousands of color opportunities Saflex® Structural interlayer is a tough polyvinyl butyral interlayer (PVB) designed for applications where interlayer rigidity and high glass adhesion requirements are not met with standard glazing interlayers. Saflex Structural provides superior structural capacity compared with standard PVB interlayers. In properly designed systems, Saflex Structural is capable of keeping glass intact at high and low temperatures after impact and under load. It's formulated to provide robust resistance to delamination and excellent edge stability and is compatible with visibly reflective coatings and low-emissivity coatings. Saflex Structural glazing is suitable for exposed edge laminates, floors, stairs, balconies, canopies, point glazing systems, clip systems, captured systems, curtain walls, and sloped and overhead glazing where glass needs to remain intact after breakage. Due to the stiffness of Saflex Structural interlayer, laminates can either sustain higher uniform loads with the same glass thickness or the glass thickness can be reduced and still achieve the same loading. Saflex Structural can be used with annealed, heat-strengthened, and fully tempered glass. Glass selection should be based on required performance attributes such as load requirements, optical distortion, potential for spontaneous breakage, thermal stress capability, stress capability, and post-breakage performance such as glass shard retention, viewing, and the ability to withstand limited load. Do you need to run glass stress calculations? Visit www.saflex.com/tools, and start using Saflex StructuralPro. The software will perform calculations and provide a PDF report via email, detailing: • Load resistance • Glass stress • Deflection for the requested configuration • Effective thickness for the single-unit laminate from which the model was generated • Overall thickness and weight of the glass
