Satinal: Why choose EVA interlayer for glass lamination

EVA is a polymeric material used in glass lamination. It’s a recent solution designed to create a performing product in terms of composition, durability, aesthetics and processing costs.

Composition and safety: EVA film has a thermosetting chemical composition, with more than 94 percent of curing rate (test performed on STRATO® Extra Chiaro), guaranteeing a very high level of protection for architectonic buildings, also exposed to exceptional weather conditions, like high temperatures, humidity and extreme atmospheric conditions:

• In case of breakage the fragments will be retained by EVA film. The chemical composition retains the fragments of glass, reducing risks of accident

• UV rays: EVA film filters up to 99 percent of UV rays at 390nm wavelength

• Great sound insulation

Duration: EVA is a hygroscopic material, which means resistance to humidity and to water infiltration in the corners of laminated glass, any risk of delamination.

Aesthetics: high transparency. EVA film ensures brightness. STRATO® EVA COLOR is the right way to personalize buildings or design interiors, with a touch of colour, without compromising the natural light of living rooms.

Processing costs: a laminated glass with EVA film can be processed with a convection oven, like Lamijet Convection, or Lamijet 04-2c by TK srl; these ovens have small or medium dimensions, accessible to small and medium companies.

Satinal SpA has been the very first EVA production site in Italy, 100% made in Italy, and guarantees the high standards required by a very high-quality product.

Application of the EVA film is a delicate process that requires great precision for the temperatures and cycle times applied. Quality controls, which are carried out in the Satinal R&D laboratory, aim to guarantee perfect adhesion of the material to the glass surface. The experience acquired in the treatment of EVA-based materials is essential to master their potential and fully exploit their characteristics.
