Krystalflex themoplastic polyurethane (TPU) films provide highly effective load transfer between the different sheets.

Glass laminators across Europe are set to benefit from improved quality of service and product development thanks to Huntsman Polyurethanes Huntsman Polyurethanes has brought the commercial sales process and technical support for its Krystalflex optical aliphatic films in-house, significantly improving the service and support it can provide to glass laminators across Europe

The market for hybrid glass/polycarbonate lamination is growing rapidly as it is increasingly used in a diverse number of applications where intrinsic strength combined with transparency is critical.

These applications include glazing for security vehicles, prisons, hospitals, embassies, computer centres and sensitive research centres.

Bonding together different materials such as glass, polycarbonate and other plastics, can prove a significant design challenge for manufacturers of glass laminates.

Krystalflex themoplastic polyurethane (TPU) films overcome this issue and also provide highly effective load transfer between the different sheets.

Johan Van Tongelen, Commercial Director Europe, Africa, Middle East and Indian Sub-continent, said: "By bringing the sales and technical support in-house, we hope to be able to steer new initiatives, be more responsive to our customer's needs and further enhance the performance capabilities of Huntsman's Krystalflex film range".
