Used primarily as an interlayer in laminated safety glass for automotive windshields and architectural applications due to its excellent adhesion, transparency, and impact resistance. Its ability to absorb energy and hold glass fragments together upon breakage makes it ideal for safety-critical glazing. Also employed in protective coatings, adhesives, and as a binder in ceramic and electronic component manufacturing. In artistic applications, it serves as a film-forming agent in some varnishes and paints.
