Applications

Explore the diverse applications that exist for KRYSTALFLEX® TPU films across transportation, architecture and the defense sector.

Safety in motion

Transportation

KRYSTALFLEX® TPU interlayer films can enhance safety and durability in transportation applications. Developed more than 50 years ago, these novel film products are trusted by industry leaders for their performance and reliability.

Aviation

In aerospace applications, interlayer laminating films can provide impact resistance and structural integrity, helping reinforced cockpit windows withstand extreme pressures, debris, and bird strikes. These advanced films also enhance optical clarity, UV protection, and weight efficiency, supporting both safety and performance in modern aircraft design.

Automotive

KRYSTALFLEX® TPU films can provide optical clarity, ballistic resistance, and long-term durability, making them a core component in protective glazing for high-profile and VIP vehicles. Engineered to absorb and disperse impact energy without compromising visibility, they can help ensure the highest levels of security and comfort for passengers in any driving environment.

Rail

KRYSTALFLEX® TPU films combine clarity, impact resistance, and long-term durability to meet the demanding safety and visibility requirements of modern rail windows. Trusted in high-speed train applications, the films can withstand a wide range of operating conditions while helping to deliver lasting optical performance and passenger protection.

Transforming building design

Architecture

The KRYSTALFLEX® TPU range includes versatile film solutions that can enhance aesthetic and functional aspects of architectural products – whether used internally or externally. Products are optimized to help ensure safety, durability and design flexibility, making them an ideal choice for modern building applications in municipal and private applications.

Schools

Laminating films made from KRYSTALFLEX® TPU can play an important role in modern school safety glazing, helping to securely bond layers of glass or polycarbonate together to create windows and doors that are better able to resist shattering. This added strength helps safeguard learning environments against accidental impacts, forced entry, and extreme weather events.

Banks

In banking environments, glazing units enhanced with advanced KRYSTALFLEX® laminating films can create durable, shatter-resistant windows, doors and screens. By reinforcing glass against forced entry and ballistic threats, this technology can help protect staff, customers, and assets while upholding the highest standards of security and trust.

Government buildings

In government facilities, safety glazing units reinforced with KRYSTALFLEX® TPU films can help strengthen windows and entryways, and secure areas against intrusion, forced entry, and blasts. This can help protect employees, visitors,and sensitive operations in courthouses, embassies, and administrative buildings, while maintaining clear visibility and a safe, welcoming environment.

Office

The design of modern workplaces in office blocks and skyscrapers relies on expansive glazing units to deliver natural light and open views. By strengthening windows, lobbies, and facades against forced entry, breakage, and extreme weather events, KRYSTALFLEX® TPU laminating films can create secure, resilient working spaces that protect people and support business continuity.

Protection on the go

Military

Advanced interlayer films made from our KRYSTALFLEX® TPU range can help provide superior ballistic resistance for windows in military vehicles, aircraft, and naval vessels. Helping to keep personnel safe in high-threat environments, the lightweight, impact-resistant nature of these innovative films can enhance operational mobility without compromising visibility or performance.

In the air

In defense aviation, KRYSTALFLEX® TPU films can be used to create glazing for aircraft canopies, cockpit windows, and sensor housings. Delivering the ballistic resistance, bird-strike protection, and durability needed in extreme conditions – plus lightweight strength and optical clarity - can help support mission critical performance in the most demanding airborne situations.

On the ground

For military vehicles on the ground, the use of laminated glazing in windshields, vision blocks, and turret windows can help provide enhanced resistance against ballistics and blasts. These durable layers enable occupants to maintain clear visibility in harsh conditions, maximizing situational awareness, while helping to provide the critical protection needed by troops in the field.
