Polymeric vehicle glazing with a flush mounted opaque edge zone

A process of manufacturing a polymeric vehicle glazing comprising:

• two-component injection molding of a transparent polymeric component and an opaque polymeric component, wherein the opaque polymeric component is flush overmolded onto the transparent polymeric component,
• applying a protective coating onto the outer face and/or the inner face,
• applying at least one lower bus bar onto the inner face of the opaque polymeric component,
• ultrasonically integrating conductive wires onto an inner face of the polymeric vehicle glazing,
• applying an upper bus bar onto the at least one lower bus bar carrying the conductive wires and establishing an electrical connection of the bus bars with the conductive wires, and
• obtaining the polymeric vehicle glazing, wherein the polymeric vehicle glazing comprises:
• an outer face and an inner face, the outer face being a same planar face in its entirety,
• a transparent polymeric component at the outer face and the inner face,
• an opaque polymeric component flush mounted on the inner face in at least one section of the transparent polymeric component,
• an interface connecting the transparent polymeric component and the opaque polymeric component and a junction point in which the transparent polymeric component, the opaque polymeric component and the ambient air meet,
• a first interior face defined as the nearest parallel to the outer face that passes through the transparent polymeric component and the opaque polymeric component, and
• a second interior face defined as the most distant parallel to the outer face that passes through the transparent polymeric component and the opaque polymeric component,
• wherein at the junction point the interface and the second interior face form an angle α, wherein α is 20° to 100° in direction of the first interior face,
• wherein at a point of the interface that lies 0.1 mm to 1 mm beneath the inner face, the interface and the second interior face form an angle α1, wherein α1 is 10° to 60° in direction of the first interior face,
• wherein the first interior face defines a plane of the interface nearest to the outer face, and
• wherein within at least one section of opaque polymeric component, the inner face and the second interior face form an angle ß, wherein ß is 10° to 100° in direction of the periphery.

A method comprising:

• using a polymeric vehicle glazing as automotive glazing, glazing for aviation, glazing for rail vehicles, ship glazing,
• wherein the polymeric vehicle glazing comprises:
• an outer face and an inner face, the outer face being a same planar face in its entirety,
• a transparent polymeric component at the outer face and the inner face,
• an opaque polymeric component flush mounted on the inner face in at least one section of the transparent polymeric component,
• an interface connecting the transparent polymeric component and the opaque polymeric component and a junction point in which the transparent polymeric component, the opaque polymeric component and the ambient air meet,
• a first interior face defined as the nearest parallel to the outer face that passes through the transparent polymeric component and the opaque polymeric component, and
• a second interior face defined as the most distant parallel to the outer face that passes through the transparent polymeric component and the opaque polymeric component,
• wherein at the junction point the interface and the second interior face form an angle α, wherein α is 20° to 100° in direction of the first interior face,
• wherein at a point of the interface that lies 0.1 mm to 1 mm beneath the inner face, the interface and the second interior face form an angle α1, wherein α1 is 10° to 60° in direction of the first interior face,
• wherein the first interior face defines a plane of the interface nearest to the outer face, and
• wherein within at least one section of the opaque polymeric component, the inner face and the second interior face form an angle ß, wherein ß is 10° to 100° in direction of the periphery.
