Abstract
This invention is directed to a plastic composite comprising color images printed onto a polyethylene terephthalate (PET) substrate using digital printing technology. The PET layer is then bonded to a second PET layer using a thermally activated adhesive, preferably ethylene vinyl acetate copolymer (EVA). The bonded PET layers are then disposed between two layers of plasticized PVB, forming the plastic composite. The plastic composite can then be placed between two sheets of glass forming the final laminated glass product.
Claims85
An interlayer for laminated glass, the interlayer comprising a polymeric support film supporting at least one color image;
- a polymeric film bonded to the polymeric support film, such that the color image is between the polymeric support film and the polymeric film;
- a first adhesive layer bonded to the polymeric support film;
- and a second adhesive layer bonded to the polymeric film.
A laminated glass composite comprising an interlayer disposed between two glass sheets, the interlayer comprising a polymeric support film supporting at least one color image;
- a polymeric film bonded to the polymeric support film, such that the color image is between the polymeric support film and the polymeric film;
- a first adhesive layer bonded to the polymeric support film;
- and a second adhesive layer bonded to the polymeric film.
An interlayer comprising a polymeric support film supporting at least one color image;
- a polymeric film bonded to the polymeric support film, such that the color image is between the polymeric support film and the polymeric film;
- wherein the interlayer is used in a glass laminate.
