Wilsdruff Filter Factory - Example of the Application of Structural PVB Films in the Façade Area

Laminated safety glass with structural PVB interlayer is suitable for a variety of challenging applications in building construction and façade design. Especially in areas with increased static requirements, stiffer interlayer materials are preferred to standard PVB films. This results in a reductio...
