Green Electricity Supply for PVB Film Production​

Worldwide SEKISUI S-LEC is focusing on increasing the use of green energy.  Both the PVB interlayer film and PVB resin plants in the Netherlands, China, Thailand and the US already use 100% green energy.​

Sustainability Solution from PVB Interlayer​

We offer various PVB interlayer solutions that can positively influence the environment. ​

S-LEC™ Solar Control Film can improve HVAC efficiency by blocking infrared rays from the sun and reducing the need to use air conditioning. S-LEC™ Sound Acoustic Film, when combined with thinner laminated glass, can reduce glass weight while reinforcing sound insulation performance, improving fuel efficiency and reducing electricity consumption in electric vehicles. ​

As part of our sustainability policies, please get in touch with us for more information about the emission numbers of our solutions.​

Solutions for a better environment​

Within S-LEC™ we offer various PVB interlayer performances like sound acoustic and solar control. ​

  • Energy Saving​
  • Reduce Noise​
  • Electric Vehicle​
Energy Saving​

For electric vehicles (EVs), which are becoming more widespread globally, it is important to reduce energy consumption in more ways than via driving only.​

IR glass windshields and windows conserve energy. S-LEC™ Solar Control Film can reduce the energy used by the climate control function when cooling the car.  Through testing with electric vehicles, SEKISUI S-LEC showed a confirmed savings of up to 20% on air conditioning, which also contributes to extending the driving range for EVs.​

Reduce Noise​

S-LEC™ Sound Acoustic Film improves the sound-insulating performance of laminated glass, suppressing ambient noise to enhance comfort in automotive and architectural applications, such as traffic and wind noise to provide a serene environment in a loud and clustered world. S-LEC™ Sound Acoustic Film can significantly reduce noise pollution for vehicles and buildings.​

Electric Vehicle​

S-LEC™ PVB Interlayer Film for laminated glass can be customized with various features. While maintaining shatterproof functionality that meets conventional safety standards, S-LEC™ Film improves user comfort with heat reduction, sound insulation, and ultraviolet ray blocking. The wide range of available colours allows for no compromise in design, providing the user with a one-rank higher experience.​

Automotive laminated glass with S-LEC™ PVB interlayer film will also significantly contribute to electrification in the automotive industry.​
