• Solutia's Saflex Photovoltaic business is a provider of encapsulant technology and materials to the thin-film solar module market. When Saflex polyvinyl butyral (PVB) interlayer is sealed between coated glass, it protects the electronic components that are contained inside. Independent testing has demonstrated that solar module configurations using PVB as the encapsulant are the most reliable, which is a key reason why PVB is emerging as the encapsulant of choice in thin-film solar modules.
• Automotive designers know consumers equate a quiet ride with a higher quality vehicle.  Saflex Q series advanced acoustic interlayer can be used in automotive windshields and side windows reducing interior vehicle noise by up to 6 decibels in the critical “human voice recognition” area of the noise path -- a noticeable difference.
• The Vanceva® color system by Saflex gives architects the freedom to add color to glass while retaining the inherent protective benefits PVB interlayer brings to the glazing system.
