Abstract
A decorated laminate including: an outer ply; an inner ply; a polymer interlayer between the inner ply and the outer ply; and organic ink printed decoration on one or both of internal surfaces of the laminate between the outer ply and the polymer interlayer or between the inner ply and polymer interlayer, wherein the decorated laminate has a stone impact resistance as defined herein. Also disclosed is a method of making and using the decorated laminate.
Claims16
An automotive glazing comprising:
- an outer ply comprising an un-strengthened glass substrate having a thickness to;
- an inner ply comprising a chemically strengthened glass substrate having a thickness ti, wherein to is at least two times greater than ti;
- a polymer interlayer between the inner ply and the outer ply;
- and
- an organic ink decoration disposed and cured on the outer ply such that the organic ink decoration comprises a solid ink layer bonded to the outer ply and disposed between the outer ply and the interlayer, wherein the solid ink layer comprises an organic or inorganic pigment,
- wherein the organic ink decoration has a thickness of from 5 microns to 25 microns,
- wherein the automotive glazing has a simulated stone impact resistance as measured by a Weibull distribution of break velocities of from 40% to 95% when struck by a 1-gram ball bearing at a 45-degree angle of incidence at from 75 to 85 miles per hour.
