Our experts are ready to help you navigate your biggest challenges across any product application

PVB Safety Glass

Playing our part to keep passengers safe

Polyvinyl butyral (PVB) interlayers are an essential component in laminated safety glass for automotive windscreens. This resin is ideal for applications that require secure binding, excellent adhesion, optical clarity, toughness, and flexibility

Our silicone-free films and liners are widely employed for PVB film manufacturing by major automotive suppliers and OEMs, and are valued by our customers for their optimal roughness, roll length, and de-airing performance 

Key Features

  • Adjustable Release
  • Optimized Embossing

Sound Dampening

Keeping vehicles quiet with superior solutions

In vehicles, sound dampening and insulation reduce engine sounds as well as other noises from riding on the road. Doors, floor and wheel arches, firewalls, trunks and trunk lids, ceilings and hoods are all potential zones for sound deadening. 

The shift towards electric vehicles further strengthens the need for improved and lightweight noise, vibration, and harshness (NVH) materials. Our paper and film solutions offer adjustable release features crucial for sound dampening material made of rubber, foam, and fibers, including key components like gaskets, seals and mounts, and various flat insulation materials

Key Features

  • Customized Differential Release Level
  • Excellent Die-Cutting Performance
  • Sound Dampening
  • Embossing
  • Colored Film
  • Controlled Calipper
  • Improved Tear Resistance
  • Improved Moisture Resistance
  • Improved Lay Flat

Fleet & Vehicle Wraps
