Solutia - The worlds leading provider of PVB interlayers

Date: 5 October 2004

Hall 11 / Stand A 54At this years Glasstec, Solutia, the worlds leading provider of PVB interlayers, will be exhibiting all its high value-added solutions for the manufacture of laminated glass.

Discover all the technical and aesthetic benefits of PVB laminated glazing, as well as its multiple applications in the automotive and architectural markets.

The stand will be composed of two areas, each demonstrating the specific advantages of the Vanceva range for each of the two markets:
- Automotive: passenger safety, protection against break-ins, and acoustic and thermal comfort.
- Architecture: safety of persons and possessions, thermal comfort and aesthetic qualities.
A third area, dedicated to Research and Development, presents the new technologies currently being developed by Solutia. The star of the show: PVB for plasma screens.

Interactive journey of discovery with the Vanceva range

Solutia has found a creative and interactive way of displaying the benefits, applications and performance of each of its solutions. A virtual car equipped with laminated side windows and sunroof gives visitors a life-size impression of how laminated glazing looks inside the car. On the architectural side, a model composed of colour wheels demonstrates the diverse range of shades available in the Vanceva range. E-zone terminals also allow visitors to navigate around the Vanceva universe.

Solutia also continues its long tradition of collaborating with other professionals. Around fifteen people from Solutias sales and technical teams will be present throughout to provide a personalised response to all your questions.

Solutia has been selected to appear in the Glass technology live exhibition.

Glass technology live is an open and transparent glass pavilion situated in Hall 11 of Glasstec.
This years theme is dedicated to all the possible applications of glass in architecture for the first time, attention will be focussed not only on facades but on finished products using glass in the interior.
