Abstract
An ionomer-based adhesive polymeric interlayer (API) that provides enhanced properties to rigid substrates through the use of polyvinyl acetal-based controlled debonding zone treatments, and rigid substrate-laminates comprising such interlayers.
Claims14
An adhesive polymeric interlayer (API), comprising:
- a first and a second API surface;
- a sheet of a first polymeric material having a first and a second surface, wherein the first polymeric material is an ionomer;
- a first treatment in a discreet treatment zone geometry on the first surface of the first polymeric material to create a first treatment-first polymeric material interface;
- a first discrete zone on the first API surface with a maximum mean peel adhesion;
- and
- a second discrete zone on the first API surface with a minimum mean peel adhesion greater than about 0.01 kJ/m2;
- and
- wherein the maximum mean peel adhesion is at least about 2 times greater than the minimum mean peel adhesion;
- wherein:
- the first treatment is a polyvinyl acetal;
- and
- when the first API surface is laminated to glass to create a glass-API interface, the resulting glass laminate meets one of the following two conditions:
