PVB (Polyvinyl Butyral) film is a translucent, thermoplastic resin film with excellent adhesion, optical clarity, and durability. It is commonly used in architectural applications such as flooring, street furniture, commercial windows, and windows. PVB film is produced by melting and extruding PVB resin through a PVB film extrusion line, which is then laminated between glass layers to create laminated safety glass. It is a versatile material with recyclable and reusable properties, making it a popular choice in various industries. The architectural industry is increasingly recognizing the benefits of laminated safety glass, which includes standard films for glass protection. These films, known for their durability and resistance to UV rays, are primarily used in automotive applications, including windscreens and windows, thereby enhancing the PVB film market. PVB film in laminated glass in automobiles and construction is crucially attributed to safety laws and demand for security solutions, offering thermal insulation, noise reduction, and natural disaster resistance. However, PVB film production costs are affected by petrochemical raw materials prices, affecting profit margins and strategic planning. The industry's dependence on petroleum-based feedstocks makes it vulnerable to geopolitical events and economic fluctuations. Effective cost-management measures and exploring alternative raw material sources are needed to mitigate price volatility
