Perfect sight: automotive glazing

Trosifol® glazing solutions increase comfort, safety and durability, reduce vehicle weight and raise fuel efficiency. This member of the Kuraray Group is the leading producer of PVB and ionplast interlayers (SentryGlas®) for laminated safety glass and the ideal partner for all glazing requirements, especially windshields, side windows and sunroofs. For example, Trosifol® The Wedge™ interlayers ensure particularly high-quality head-up displays. And that increases safety because drivers can keep their eyes on the road yet view critical vehicle data. The sound-insulating properties of Trosifol® Acoustic and SentryGlas® Acoustic™ cut out many of the frequencies and ambient noise that occur in moving vehicles.
