According to Solutia Automotive, the use of laminated automotive glass is on the rise for both concept and production vehicles, and no place is that more evident than the 2005 North American International Auto Show (NAIAS), which concludes Sunday, 23 January in Detroit. The glass used in the side, rear, roof and advanced windshields on 40 vehicles on display at the show contains either Solutia“s Saflex(R) brand interlayer or its Vanceva(TM) brand advanced interlayer. With an increase of 10 vehicles over 2004, this is the largest collection of vehicles using Solutia“s glass interlayers assembled at one auto show, the firm said. “Laminated glass is becoming mainstream, and this show provides validation of that movement,” said Jay Pyper, North American automotive market development director for Solutia Automotive. “As automakers continue to refine vehicles in search of that competitive advantage, they look to solutions like laminated glass as adding value for their customers.”
