Description: Butacite' polyvinyl butyral resin is used as inner layer of safety glass. Sheeting manufactured from this resin is of excellent clarity and color and is particularly resistant to the deteriorating influences of prolonged exposure to heat, light and moisture so that the safety glass pane retains indefinitely its initially good appearance.

Show moreButacite' polyvinyl butyral resin is used as inner layer of safety glass. Sheeting manufactured from this resin is of excellent clarity and color and is particularly resistant to the deteriorating influences of prolonged exposure to heat, light and moisture so that the safety glass pane retains indefinitely its initially good appearance. Tests made by accepted methods have demonstrated the valuable ability of this improved safety glass to yield under a destructive impact, so as to lessen the severity of the blow to a passenger thrown against it in an accident. The plastic interlayer in the broken pane holds together and stretches under the blow and at the same time holds the broken pieces of glass together. Butacite resin is compounded with other ingredients to form a dough, which is extruded through a slit to form continuous sheeting, which is then freed of solvent and wound up for shipment. This photograph, made at the Arlington, New Jersey plant of the DuPont Company shows the continuous sheeting passing through an air cooling process. 'Butacite' is also made at DuPont's Washington Works, near Parkersburg, West Virginia.
