Report Code : 10921 | Publish Date : Upcoming | Industry : Chemicals_Materials | Geography : Country


Polyvinyl butyral (PVB) is a resin commonly used for applications that demand strong optical clarity, binding, adhesion to number of surfaces, toughness and flexibility. It is made by reaction of polyvinyl alcohol with butyraldehyde. The major application of PVB is laminated safety glass for automobile windshields, residential and commercial building and photovoltaic application. Moreover, PVB interlayer can be available in colored sheets, such as for the green or blue shade band at the top edge of several automobile windshields. They can also be available in different colors for architectural laminated glass manufacture ranging from Gray, Bronze, Brown, Green, White and many more.

United States PVB Interlayers Market Segmental Overview

The study analyses United States PVB interlayers market based on type, and end use industry. 

PVB Interlayers Market by Type

Two major types such as standard PVB interlayers and structural PVB interlayers are analyzed in the United States PVB interlayers market. The standard PVB interlayers segment dominated the market in 2020 and is expected to maintain its dominance during the forecast period. However, structural PVB interlayers segment is expected to witness rapid growth in the coming years. Increasing use of standard PVB interlayers in laminated glass applications is attributed to the segment growth. Laminated glass’ safety feature is widely suitable in areas that need high-security such as money-exchange centers, banks, museums, jewellery shops, and art galleries.

PVB Interlayers Market by End Use Industry

Major end use industries of the United States PVB interlayers market are automotive, construction and photovoltaic. The automotive end use industry is expected to dominate the market during the estimated period. On the other side, photovoltaic and constructions segments are likely to improve the PVB interlayers market in the coming years. PVB interlayers as laminated glass, widely used in the architectural and automotive fields, comprises a protective interlayer, usually polyvinyl butyral, bonded between two panels of glass. The bonding process takes place under heat and pressure. When laminated under these conditions, the PVB interlayer becomes optically clear and binds the two panes of glass together.

PVB Interlayers Market Key Players

The major key players of market include Eastman Chemical Company, Kuraray, Sekisui Chemicals, Everlam, KB PVB, Chang Chun Group, Dulite Co.Limited, Huakai Plastic Co., Ltd and Willing Lamiglass Materials among others. 

Recent Developments:

March 2021: Eastman Chemical Company announced it is making an investment to expand and upgrade its extrusion capabilities for production of interlayers product lines at its Springfield, Massachusetts, manufacturing facility. The investment will strengthen the company’s supply capability to respond to global and regional demand for Saflex polyvinyl butyral (PVB) products in the architectural and automotive markets.

November 2020: Eastman Chemical announced the partnership with Seen, a Swiss architectural-surfaces specialist, to market a line of bird-safe interlayers for laminated architectural glass. The partnership fits in with the company’s current business in polyvinyl butyral (PVB) interlayers for automotive and architectural safety glass.

The study analyses United States PVB interlayers market based on type, and end use industry. Two major types such as standard PVB interlayers and structural PVB interlayers are analyzed in the United States PVB interlayers market.
