Description
[Solutia Inc.] A registered trademark for a series polyvinyl butyral resins. Butvars® were first used as the transparent films in the middle of safety glass. They are designed to be transparent, colorless, UV resistant and nonyellowing. In the oxygen free atmosphere of laminated glass, Butvars® age well, but when exposed to UV light in the presence of oxygen, they tend to crosslink and become insoluble. Butvars® come in a wide range of molecular weights. They are used commercially as adhesives, sealants, inks, and coatings to waterproof textiles and wood.
