FAQ
1
How should the performance indicators of EVA interlayer film be specifically interpreted?

Taking the performance table of Shengding's EVA interlayer film as an example:

In Optical Performance, a lower "Haze" value (e.g., 0.36%) indicates clearer material; a high "Visible Light Transmittance" (e.g., 90.5%) represents good transparency; a low "UV Light Transmittance" helps protect internal items from fading.

In Physical Performance, "Crosslink Degree" (e.g., 76%) reflects the degree of three-dimensional network structure formed after the material is heated and cured—a higher degree indicates better heat resistance and creep resistance; "180° Peel Strength" (e.g., 71.1 N/cm) directly measures its adhesion to glass.

Durability Performance is key. For instance, "no bubbles after boiling for 2 hours" proves its resistance to high temperature and humidity; "no delamination defects after 1000 hours at high temperature and high humidity" indicates its long-term reliability; the extremely low Yellowing Index (YI < 0.5) after "UV Radiation Resistance" demonstrates its outstanding resistance to UV aging. These indicators collectively ensure the safety, aesthetics, and durability of EVA laminated glass during long-term outdoor use.

What are the main differences between TPU interlayer film and traditional PVB interlayer film?

Although both TPU interlayer film and traditional Polyvinyl Butyral (PVB) interlayer film belong to the category of safety glass interlayer materials, their performance differs significantly:

1. Mechanical Properties: TPU generally has higher tensile strength, tear strength, and elongation at break than PVB, with particularly outstanding toughness (elasticity), offering better impact resistance and energy absorption capacity.

2. Weather Resistance: TPU has excellent resistance to UV aging and damp heat, making it less prone to yellowing, bubbling, or delamination over long-term use, resulting in a longer lifespan.

3. Temperature Adaptability: The glass transition temperature (Tg) of TPU can be as low as -68°C, allowing it to remain flexible in extremely cold environments, whereas PVB becomes hard and brittle at low temperatures.

4. Optical Performance: High-end optical-grade TPU can achieve extreme levels of light transmittance and purity, with very low haze and minimal optical distortion.

5. Processability: TPU is not sensitive to moisture and does not require the strict dehumidification environment and pre-pressing procedures necessary for PVB.

Therefore, TPU is the preferred choice for higher-end and more demanding application scenarios (e.g., aviation, bulletproof), while PVB is more widely used in ordinary architectural and automotive windshield glass.

What is EVA interlayer film? What types and applications does it have?

EVA interlayer film is a hot-melt adhesive film made primarily from Ethylene-Vinyl Acetate Copolymer (EVA), with specific additives, produced through a casting process. It is commonly referred to as "modified EVA film" within the industry. Compared to TPU, EVA material is more cost-effective, has a lower processing temperature, and also offers good transparency and adhesion.

Shengding's EVA interlayer films are mainly divided into three series: High-Temperature Ultra-Transparent Series (processed at 90-130°C), with extremely high transparency, mainly used for high-end architectural glass, decorative glass, and artistic glass; Low-Temperature Ultra-Transparent Series (processed at 90-110°C), suitable for temperature-sensitive applications like photovoltaic module encapsulation and LED smart dimming glass lamination; Colored Series, offering EVA films in various colors for creative indoor/outdoor decorative glass, glass walkways, and landscape design.

EVA laminated glass, while ensuring safety (shattering without scattering), is widely used in sunrooms, skylights, partitions, furniture, and solar panel encapsulation.

What advantages does the Architectural Safety-grade TPU interlayer film (SD770) have over traditional materials?

SD770 is primarily aimed at the high-end architectural safety glass market. Compared to traditional PVB or ordinary EVA interlayer materials, it demonstrates multiple significant advantages.

First is its super-strong structural adhesion (bonding strength with glass ≥10 kN/m), which firmly integrates the glass and frame. This ensures that the entire glass pane, when subjected to wind pressure, explosion impact, or object collision, will not shatter and scatter, providing a crucial "anti-spall" function.

Second is its excellent impact and penetration resistance. The laminated glass made with it can effectively resist impacts from flying debris caused by typhoons, shockwaves from small explosions, and even a certain degree of violent intrusion.

Finally, it maintains high light transmittance (≥88%) and low haze, meeting safety requirements without sacrificing the building's lighting and aesthetic appeal. Therefore, SD770 is widely used in settings with high demands for both safety and appearance, such as banks, jewelry stores, museums, high-end office building curtain walls, and coastal wind-pressure resistant buildings.

How does the Bulletproof-grade TPU interlayer film (SD670) achieve bulletproof functionality? What are its application scenarios?

SD670 is a TPU interlayer film specifically designed for the security protection field, with the core function of manufacturing high-performance bulletproof glass. Its bulletproof principle does not rely solely on hardness but ingeniously utilizes the excellent elastomeric properties of TPU material.

When a bullet strikes the composite structure of "PC sheet + TPU film + inorganic glass" bonded by SD670, the hard PC sheet and glass bear the initial impact and penetration resistance. The intermediate SD670 film layer, through its extremely high elongation at break (≥500%) and toughness, undergoes large deformation to absorb and dissipate the enormous impact kinetic energy of the bullet, effectively reducing its destructive force. This "combination of rigidity and flexibility" structure can significantly enhance the bulletproof rating of the glass.

SD670 is primarily applied in areas such as military armored vehicles, ship observation windows, cash-in-transit vehicles, VIP vehicles, and bulletproof observation windows in important buildings, providing a reliable safety barrier for internal personnel and equipment.

What are the main characteristics and applications of the Optical-grade TPU interlayer film (SD570)?

SD570 is an optical-grade TPU interlayer film tailored by Shengding for high-end transportation fields such as aerospace and high-speed rail. Its most notable features are its extremely wide operating temperature range (-65°C to 75°C) and excellent optical performance.

Under such severe temperature cycling, its physical and optical properties remain highly stable, without yellowing, delamination, or performance degradation. This is crucial for aircraft transparencies (like windshields and cabin windows) operating at high altitudes or in extremely cold regions. The product boasts a visible light transmittance of over 90% and a haze level below 0.3%, significantly reducing optical distortion and providing pilots with a clear, realistic field of view.

Simultaneously, its bonding strength with inorganic glass exceeds 30 kN/m, ensuring the structural integrity and safety of laminated glass under extreme conditions. Therefore, SD570 has become a key foundational material ensuring the operational safety of modern aviation and high-speed rail.
