The Vanceva color interlayer system enables architects and designers to create custom colors and one-of-a-kind aesthetics by incorporating color into glass and glazing systems using tinted interlayers, which are laminated between two pieces of glass. A palette of 16 colors can be combined in up to four layers to produce more than 17,000 transparent, translucent, and solid glass colors.

Eastman Saflex® and Vanceva® PVB interlayers are two of the most trusted brands in PVB interlayer technology for laminated glazing, delivering outstanding performance and durability that is backed by reliable and knowledgeable service. As a result, Eastman interlayers are found in nearly 40% of laminated architectural and automotive glass worldwide.
