As EV design evolves, companies throughout the supply chain are developing components and materials specifically designed for EVs. This includes the greenhouse or glasshouse (industry terms for a vehicle’s set of windows and other glass components).
Eastman has launched a new lineup of interlayers (an interlayer is used to permanently bond two plies of glass in a laminated configuration) specifically designed for EV applications. The new Saflex Evoca interlayer platform is intended to offer enhanced vehicle design, improve cabin comfort and enable efficient energy usage.
Eastman explains that glazing design for EVs often involves trade-offs in aesthetics, occupant comfort and vehicle weight. Saflex Evoca interlayers offer solutions that specifically target these challenges, giving OEMs and glass suppliers greater design flexibility to balance these competing needs and create more efficient vehicles.
“Electric vehicles are the future. That’s why we created Saflex Evoca,” said Alan Phillips, Director, Films Application Research and Development at Eastman. “The interlayer solutions under Saflex Evoca can set a new standard in the EV industry, helping manufacturers take charge of the future.”
