The prestigious 2026 Milano-Cortina Winter Olympics will showcase not just elite athleticism but also the best in materials engineering. One standout is STRATO® EVA EXTRA CHIARO, the advanced interlayer developed by Italian manufacturer Satinal. Selected for the ski jumping facilities in Cortina, this product exemplifies the highest standards of transparency, durability, and safety required for such a high-profile global event.
Unobstructed Views on the Slopes
The ski jump is among the most visually striking events in the Winter Games. The selection of STRATO® EVA EXTRA CHIARO was driven by its exceptional clarity “EXTRA CHIARO” literally translates to “extra clear.” This ensures that spectators and athletes enjoy completely unobstructed views of the dramatic Dolomite backdrop. Whether it’s for athletes during their high-speed approach or fans watching from viewing platforms, visual continuity is critical, and this interlayer delivers.
Strength Beneath the Surface
While transparency grabs attention, performance under pressure is what truly defines Olympic-grade materials. STRATO® EVA EXTRA CHIARO offers superior resistance to thermal stress, impact, and weather extremes, essential qualities in the unpredictable mountain climate of northern Italy. From freezing temperatures to heavy snow, its performance remains consistent and reliable.
In the unlikely event of breakage, the interlayer holds glass fragments together, preventing dangerous shattering. This key safety feature ensures ongoing protection for both participants and the public.
Satinal’s involvement in the Winter Olympics is more than a commercial win, it’s a reflection of Italian innovation and craftsmanship. The installation of STRATO® EVA EXTRA CHIARO at the Cortina ski jump marks a significant milestone for the brand, affirming its global reputation in the architectural glass industry.
