evguard®: EVA interlayer for laminated safety, security & architectural glass

A rich tradition
With more than 30 years of experience in the co-extrusion of eco-friendly plastic materials such as PET, PLA, BIO-PET and other specialities, Folienwerk Wolfen drives the industry with sustainable plastic solutions. Originating from the ORWO film plant, the company has a rich tradition and specialised know-how. As one of the first processors of plastics, the properties of various polymers were combined in one film using multi-layer technology. Our core value is providing solutions that encourage the evolution of society by using technologies, products and services. We relentlessly strive to be a company that supports the society of the future, by utilizing our diversity to create value for society's needs.

Specialised know-how
Today we produce individual 'made in Germany' films which are efficient and reliable. We have a global presence pioneering high quality EVA film processing, and are independently tested, approved and certified to most major standards worldwide. Our specialised knowledge ensures we start with quality first. Using high value raw materials we designed an innovative product, which is not only tailored to the high demands of architectural glazing, but is also multifunctional, extensively tested and highly adaptable to varying conditions. Our focus on quality, research and service ensures we deliver to your needs.

Future adaptive innovation
Innovation is the result of a process that brings together various novel ideas in such a way that they affect society. Why should there be limitations to artistic creativity within design and architecture? With evguard® we can offer you a product to realize the most innovative ideas.  
Our in-house research & development, and GUARD hallmark, ensures we produce, test and deliver sustainable quality now and continue to adapt to the future at the forefront of glass film innovation - giving you a high quality product that saves you money in the long run via being durable, flexible & future-proof. We offer tailor-made sizes for your individual needs with various graduations and colors - evguard® laminating film in thickness (0.2mm to 1.14mm), width (800mm to 2400mm) and evguard® MPE thickness (0.2mm to 0.6mm), width (1000mm to 1250mm) - in order to decrease waste ratio and overall cost.

A masterpiece of ongoing research and development
evguard® laminating film is an ethylene-vinyl-acetate (EVA) based thermoset interlayer for the manufacturing of laminated safety glass. Through processing, it forms a highly cross-linked three-dimensional composite interlayer that provides the strength for laminated safety, security and architectural glass.

evguard® laminating film is purposefully designed (and fully certified) for numerous glass building facades and extreme heavy impact applications worldwide, including external facades, overhead glazing and balustrades. It has passed all stringent standards to ensure long term stability and durability in these areas.

Folienwerk Wolfen also provides evguard® MPE, a „Modified Co-Polyester“, that brings significant improvement in terms of strength, stability, durability, shear modulus and printability. evguard® MPE is a special high performance multi-layer polyester film for heavy impacts and printed laminated safety glass applications.

Quality - so much more in just one film
evguard® laminating film is produced from the highest quality ingredients enabling us to in-house manufacture a multipurpose, multifunctional film which offers impact, weathering, high sound reduction, high shear strength, resistance to wide temperature range, a very well designed melting viscosity (for use in premium, sensitive inserts such as stone lamination, LCD, etc.) with high-processability in both vacuum & autoclave, plus more. With the product - DESIGNED, DEVELOPED and MADE in Germany - and with the use of European raw materials, we deliver reliable and consistent quality.  Quality is the basis of everything we do. From the way we design, manufacture and test our products, to the services, and people who provide them.

Safety – intensive testing for safe end product
We always conduct intensive testing and understand our social responsibility to develop a safe end product, which is made possible through our high quality European-made ingredients & additives (raw materials used to produce the evguard® laminating film range).

Consistency – quality maintained throughout
We deliver a consistent, durable film that can last. evguard® laminating film enjoys same strict quality procedures, ensuring the same quality and cleanliness, distributed by our highly knowledgeable European suppliers. We provide full traceability for every single roll back to particular raw material via our ERP System.

Certification – fully certified worldwide
We have certification for all climatic conditions worldwide, including DIBt, impact, weathering, sound reduction, salt water, hurricane testing & balustrade testing, as well as for the highest hygiene standards (due to our experience manufacturing products for the medical, pharmaceutical, automotive and food applications).
