Manufacturing and Testing 'Butacite'
Description
This
is
another
view
of the
manufacture
of
continuous
sheeting
of
Butacite
polyvinyl
acetal
resin
,
which
is
used
as
interlayer
in
modern
laminated
safety
glass
. As
it
passes
onto a
wind
up
roll
, as
shown
in this
picture
, its
unusual
flexibility
is
clearly
evident
. The
intricate
and
complex
system
of
manufacture
by
which
a
powdery
resin
is
transformed
into
continuous
sheeting
which
can
be
rolled
up
and
shipped
like
a
bolt
of
cloth
,
is
one
of the
achievements
of
modern
chemical
engineering
.
Interlayer
sheeting
manufactured
from
Butacite
polyvinyl
butyral
resin
is
of
good
clarity
and
color
and
particularly
resistant
to the
deteriorating
influences
of
prolonged
exposure
to
hear
,
light
and
moisture
so
that the
safety
glass
pane
retain
indefinitely
its
initially
good
appearance
.
Tests
made
by
accepted
methods
have
demonstrated
the
ability
of this
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
. The
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
DuPonts
Washington
Works
,
near
Parkersburg
,
West
Virginia
.
