2 LETTING IN THE LIGHT SO THAT LIFE CAN THRIVE Ultraviolet (UV) light is invisible to the human eye. It is both vital yet potentially hazardous. Excessive exposure to this spectrum of natural light can damage the human skin. This is why polyvinyl butyral films in laminated safety glass provide protection from UV radiation. Nonetheless, many organisms, terrestrial and aquatic, need UV light. Honeybees and bumblebees can see within the UV range and thus find their way to the centre of seemingly indistinguishable parts of flowers. Very short-wave UV light kills germs and is therefore used in the quarantine zones of many zoos. Birds need UV light for navigation.

4 LIGHT AND SAFETY For several years now, Kuraray Europe GmbH has been aware of growing demand for UVpermeable glass solutions. In these special applications, both UV transmittance and safety are important. Thanks to the application of expertise from the TROSIFOL photovoltaic product range, a film is now available with maximum UV transmittance for the architectural sector. While satisfying the requirements of the building authorities, it admits the full natural spectrum of solar radiation. This is important for applications in the botanical, zoological, life science and health sectors. As a result of the proven long service life of laminated safety glass containing TROSIFOL PVB films, this highly transparent film with its outstanding UV transmittance fills a gap in non-standard architectural applications. As a film, non-crosslinking thermoplastic PVB displays exceptional optical properties coupled with excellent and long-lasting adhesion to glass. It is also distinguished by its impressive resistance to impact, UV and weathering while effectively withstanding other environmental influences.
