KINGSPORT, Tenn. – Eastman will showcase its Saflex and Vanceva PVB interlayers at the 2025 Campus Safety Conference, taking place July 21–23 in Austin, Texas. These advanced interlayers — used in laminated glass — can help schools enhance safety while also enabling more colorful, functional and engaging building designs.

Saflex PVB interlayers can help windows and door systems containing laminated glass meet ASTM F3561 forced-entry resistance standard. When combined with glass, these interlayers help hold broken glass together, which can help delay and deter intrusion and provide school staff with more time to respond.* This makes them ideal for a wide range of school glazing applications.
Vanceva color PVB interlayers give schools the ability to customize laminated glass with up to 69,000 transparent, translucent, or solid color combinations — making it easier to reflect school spirit, support wayfinding, or simply brighten learning spaces without compromising on protection. Vanceva is qualified as safety glazing in accordance with national requirements and can be combined with Saflex products for even greater performance enhancement.
Beyond safety and color, Eastman’s interlayers can also help improve acoustics and solar control, creating more comfortable, quiet and energy-efficient learning environments.
“Our interlayers can help schools create spaces that feel safe, welcoming, and inspiring,” said Oliver Osborne, commercial director of architecture for advanced interlayers at Eastman. “We support safety goals while enabling designs that enhance the school experience for students and staff through the use of glass.” To learn more, visit: https://info.eastman.com/securityglazing.
*These tests are often performed by Eastman on glass only in a fixed or neutral frame. To achieve appropriate protection, the selection of the glass, glazing details and framing system are important. Glass specifiers should consider all risks, threats, vulnerabilities, and facility designs to ensure optimal safety.
