Ethylene vinyl acetate: the material from which EVA film is made

As an established film manufacturer, we have the daily incentive to develop innovations that create real added value for our customers' companies. Professional development work and a high level of practical relevance are particularly important to us. We scrutinise new materials with interest to find out how they could complement our well-positioned range of films.

A good example of this is ethylene vinyl acetate, also known by the abbreviation EVA. The material we use for our modern EVA films offers pioneering solutions for numerous industries.

Ethylene vinyl acetate – what is EVA?

Ethylene vinyl acetate is a so-called copolymer – a chemical substance composed of different polymers. The two components of the substance characterise the name of the polymer: ethylene, also known as ethene or hydrogen vinyl, forms the basis of many chemical compounds, particularly in the field of modern plastics. Vinyl acetate is also considered a highly reactive substance in polymer production. The material is used in sporting goods, packaging and the automotive industry. We use EVA for our innovative film products.

What properties characterise EVA films?

We have developed our EVA film evguard® especially for laminated glass and laminated safety glass, particularly for façades and glass. The reason for this is the first-class technical properties of ethylene vinyl acetate.

Both we and our satisfied customers particularly appreciate

• the resistance to heat
• the resistance to ageing
• the elasticity of EVA films
• the good adhesion of EVA products

As an experienced EVA film manufacturer, we have carefully analysed these advantages and are considered pioneers in the production of films made from this material. This makes us proud and is also an incentive to continue developing our products in a consistent and practical manner. The best proof of this is the high-quality EVA film evguard®, which is suitable for a wide range of applications.

Possible applications for EVA films

evguard® films are film solutions that fulfil the high industry-specific requirements of the architecture and interior design sectors. The reason for this is that EVA film enhances laminated safety glass with powerful advantages. Firstly, of course, through the robustness and durability that characterise this type of film. But also through its resistance to heat, which is essential for use around glass and façades. Even fire protection benefits from the use of evguard®.

The safety benefits of evguard® film make it useful in the manufacture of these important types of glass in the architectural area of buildings and façades:

• Laminated glass
• laminated safety glass
• soundproof glass
• fire-resistant glass

But the clever film also provides first-class solutions for other aspects of safety. It is also used when you need a high level of burglary protection or reliable fall protection. This functionality is supported by both the elasticity of the film and its adhesion.

Interior designers also benefit from ethylene vinyl acetate

evguard® is particularly useful as a material and film solution for interior design. Especially as an interlayer film – i.e. as an intermediate layer of laminated glass - this development from our workshop offers exciting and diverse application possibilities. Use the film to achieve modern one-way vision effects, for example, and create an aesthetic advantage with a clever film design. Or we can help you to create very precise textures and colours. The degree of transparency? That's up to you!

You know the tinted windows of celebrity limousines, through which the occupants can look outside but are safely protected from prying eyes inside the car? Or the windows from the interrogation rooms in US crime thrillers, through which the investigators observe the interrogation without being seen by the suspects? We achieve these effects by using a special type of film: one-way vision film, which we also sell as a manufacturer.

Are you interested in this intelligent film technology? We will be happy to provide you with valuable information on our website and also offer you a personal consultation with one of our experts!

The magical effects of one-way vision film

The one-way vision effects created by using our high-quality and cleverly developed film solution regularly amaze onlookers. This is because, despite the transparency of the transparent plastic films, they have different effects depending on whether you are sitting inside an office, for example, or looking through the office window as a passer-by from outside. The film is therefore a good tool that offers the best protection against prying eyes. We can customise the product with a special design of glass and film. Discover the possibilities that the one-way vision film principle offers you with customised advice from our film professionals!

One-way vision film created by glass lamination

The effect of the one-way vision film that we develop as a manufacturer is achieved through innovative types of glass lamination. As the owner or technical decision-maker of your company, you are no doubt familiar with the technology behind modern laminated glass. This is exactly what we utilise to create the type of glass lamination that gives you the perfect benefit by using our evguard® laminating film.

The combination of the evguard® laminating film and the one-way vision film delivers particularly exciting results: While the A-side of a laminated pane displays a motif that you have individually selected, the B-side allows you to see through the pane. A customised concept that we offer as a manufacturer with our one-way vision film.

Apart from the one-way vision effect, the following features can be achieved by combining laminated glass with the evguard® laminating film using glass lamination:

• extraordinary textures
• special colours
• fixed or sensitively switchable degrees of transparency
• integrated lighting
• We will explain to you which of the exciting options will provide your company with the perfect added value!

Customised one-way vision effects

As specialists in the use of a wide variety of film products, we know that every company, practice and public institution wants to use these one-way vision films for different purposes. These needs should be taken into account when purchasing one-way vision film from the manufacturer. Due to the different requirements, we offer film solutions that score highly in terms of practical relevance. We will be happy to advise you in detail on the best solution for you.

One-way vision film from the manufacturer – your benefit

Sourcing films directly from the manufacturer is a good idea. This enables us to offer you customised solutions in terms of cutting, design and technology. These depend on your industry and the area of application.

Typical areas of application for films that are enhanced by a special print, the matching design of an adhesive film or an attractive poster are

• spacious and discreetly designed meeting rooms
• solid protection of offices or authorities against unauthorised third parties
• generally rooms on the ground floor
• shielded lounges and treatment rooms in surgeries

evguard® laminate film, due to its excellent heat and ageing resistance, has broad applications in various types of interior design and architecture. This includes the use of evguard® laminate film for laminated safety glass and sound insulation glass or fire protection glass.

Flexible evguard® laminate film combines the specific physical properties of excellent transparency and resistance with high stability and durability for permanent glass lamination. Folienwerk Wolfen is among the pioneers in this field and produces EVA film "Made in Germany" using European raw materials

• for the production of laminated safety glass or ballistic glass,
• as sound insulation glass with acoustic properties,
• as a lightweight fire resistant glass and
• for glass laminates with decorative inserted materials, such as coloured or sensitive adjustable film.

evguard® laminate film was developed in Germany. Laminated glass and laminated safety glass manufactured using it has successfully passed extensive tests both in Europe and more climatically challenging regions of the world.
