Disclaimer
As Solutia's new DESIGN and COLOR system incorporates minimum 30 gage interlayer PVB, we are confident in stating that it passes standard ASTM/ANSI/CPSC standards when the same nominal thickness is used.

Approvals
The Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) and the architectural glazing safety sections of model building codes have set uniform requirements for the performance of glazing materials. Two-ply laminated glass with 0.015 in. (0.38 mm) thick Solutia's PVB based interlayer typically meets requirements for Category I, two-ply laminated glass with 0.030" (0.76 mm) thick Solutia's PVB based interlayer typically meets requirements for Category II.

Laminated glass with Solutia's PVB based interlayer meets requirements for ASTM F1233 Forced Entry Testing and UL 972.

Solutia's PVB based interlayers are approved for use in Dade County, Florida and have been issued as NOA#98-0728.05 and NOA#99-1227.02.

Environmental Considerations
Use of laminated glass can reduce heating and cooling costs. Sound attenuation applications mean reductions in noise pollution.
