Abstract
In a polyvinyl butyral (PVB) sheet plasticized with a multiester of an alcohol having 2 to 4 hydroxyl groups and a C.sub.16 to C.sub.20 unsaturated fatty acid having a hydroxyl group attached to the acid molecule, which sheet does not craze polycarbonate or polyacrylate when in contact therewith, the addition of a synergistically effective amount of a monoester of a glycol and such C.sub.16 to C.sub.20 acid improves the low temperature penetration resistance and adhesion properties of such sheet without significant loss in its resistance to stress cracking polycarbonate or polyacrylate in a laminated glass assembly.
Claims7
In a laminate comprising at least one sheet of thermoplastic resin selected from the group consisting of polycarbonate and polyacrylate laminated to a polyvinyl butyral sheet plasticized with a multiester of an alcohol having 2 to 4 hydroxyl groups and a C.sub.16 to C.sub.20 unsaturated fatty acid having a hydroxyl group attached to the acid molecule, the improvement which comprises, in property improving combination with such multiester, a synergistically effective amount of an additional plasticizer in said polyvinyl butyral sheet which is a monoester of a glycol and said C.sub.16 to C.sub.20 unsaturated fatty acid, wherein the ratio of said monoester to said multiester is between about 1:1 to about 5:1.
