Benefits of technology

[0009] Another aspect of this invention provides a composite laminate interlayer comprising a layer of PET between layers of plasticized PVB adhesive where at least one of the PVB layers exhibits enhanced stiffness. Preferably, the PET has a thickness in the range of 0.125 to 0.254 millimeters (5-10 mils). Another aspect of this invention provides interlayer composites with other functional layers, e.g. sound dampening elastomer layers or radiation blocking layers.

Problems solved by technology

Cartier et al. do not disclose values of modulus or construction of laminates.

Abstract

Composite laminate interlayers for adhering a glass laminate comprising a sheet of polyethylene terephthalate (PET) between layers of plasticized polyvinyl butyral (PVB) adhesive layers, wherein at least one of the PVB adhesive layers is stiffened, e.g. by reduction in the amount of plasticizer, and has a glass transition temperature greater than 35° C. The PET is preferably 0.075 to 0.25 mm (3-10 mils) thick and can have a functional coating for reducing radiation, e.g. UV or IR or visible light, transmission through the glass laminate. The laminate can also comprise at least one elastomeric layer adapted to reducing sound transmission through the glass laminate. The laminates exhibit enhanced maximum flexural modulus of greater than about 350 Newtons/centimeter.

Description

[0001] This application is a continuation of co-pending U.S. application Ser. No. 09 / 737,234, filed Dec. 14, 2000, which in turn claims priority from U.S. Provisional Application Ser. No. 60 / 170,888 filed Dec. 14, 1999.[0002] Disclosed herein are intrusion resistant glass laminates and composite interlayers comprising enhanced modulus polyvinyl butyral (PVB) adhesive for making glass laminates which are especially useful as intrusion resistant glazing for architectural and automotive applications. BACKGROUND [0003] Automobile and home owners, especially those who have experienced a vehicle break-in or theft or hurricane damage, are increasingly interested in intrusion resistant glazing. Glass has been identified as the weak link in the overall intrusion resistance of vehicles and buildings. For instance, some police reports estimate that broken glass is the entry route for at least 60% of unauthorized entry into passenger vehicles. There is also a belief that a 10 second delay in en...
