DuPont Glass Laminating Solutions is introducing a collection of coloured DuPont Butacite polyvinyl butyral (PVB) laminated glass interlayers to further extend the product's use in the architectural and transportation sectors. The spectrum of colours on offer - 30 in all - are available in either transparent or translucent form. Produced at the recently-integrated Retrim facility in Zlin, CR, the new colours will be launched worldwide spring 2006. Originally used in automotive windshields, laminated safety glass with Butacite PVB interlayers is experiencing increased adoption in residential and commercial applications such as partitions, cladding, curtain walls, doors and even roofs. Its principle benefits, say DuPont, include those of increased safety; performance under impact; security, sound reduction & solar/ultraviolet control. See: www.dupont.com
