Abstract
A laminar structure comprised of at least two layers FORCE (16, 20) of glass and a sheet (18) of plasticized PVB containing an adhesion control additive is provided wherein the difference in adhesion between the PVB interlayer and the glass due to glass orientation is minimized by including a leveling agent in the bulk or on the surface of the sheet of plasticized PVB or by coating the leveling agent onto the glass prior to laminating.
Claims15
A glass/adhesive sheet laminate comprising at least two layers of glass and a sheet of plasticized polyvinylbutyral positioned therebetween, said polyvinylbutyral having incorporated therein as an adhesion control additive an alkali metal salt to provide a preselected level of adhesion between said layers of glass and said sheet of polyvinylbutyral wherein asymmetric adhesion is present between the layers of glass and adjoining surfaces of the sheet of polyvinylbutyral, and as a leveling agent a different metal salt in an amount to provide a concentration of cation from the different metal salt in the PVB interlayer of 0.03-1.35 meq/kg, said amount being sufficient to reduce asymmetric adhesion between the plasticized interlayer and the adjoining surfaces of glass.
A glass/adhesive sheet laminate comprising at least two layers of glass and a sheet of plasticized polyvinylbutyral positioned therebetween, said polyvinylbutyral having incorporated therein as an adhesion control additive an alkali metal salt to provide a preselected level of adhesion between said layers of glass and said sheet of polyvinylbutyral wherein asymmetric adhesion is present between the layers of glass and adjoining surfaces of the sheet of polyvinylbutyral, and as a leveling agent a different metal salt in an amount to provide a concentration of cation from the different metal salt in the PVB interlayer of 0.03-1.35 meq/kg, said amount being sufficient to reduce asymmetric adhesion between the plasticized interlayer and the adjoining surfaces of glass wherein the leveling agent is an alkaline earth metal or transition metal salt of a polybasic organic acid.
In a process for minimizing asymmetric adhesion between a polyvinylbutyral interlayer and glass in a glass/adhesive sheet laminate comprised of at least two layers of glass and a sheet of plasticized polyvinyibutya adhesive, the steps of preparing a bulk composition of plasticized polyvinyibutyral containing an alkali metal salt as an adhesion control additive which provides a preselected level of adhesion between said glass and said sheet, incorporating a second metal salt different from said adhesion control additive as a leveling agent in an amount to provide a concentration of cation from the different metal salt in the polyvinylbutyral sheet of 0.03 to 1.35 meq/kg, forming a laminar structure by adhering said sheet to a glass plate, de-airing the structure and sealing said sheet and glass plate by applying heat and pressure thereto.
In a process for minimizing asymmetric adhesion between a polyvinylbutyral interlayer and glass in a glass/adhesive sheet laminate comprised of at least two layers of glass and a sheet of plasticized polyvinylbutyral adhesive, the steps of preparing a bulk composition of plasticized polyvinylbutyral containing an alali metal salt as an adhesion control additive which provides a preselected level of adhesion between said glass and said sheet, and the glass having been coated with a leveling agent which is dissolved in a solution containing 2 parts per million by weight of metal ions, forming a laminar structure by adhering said sheet to a glass plate, de-airing the structure and sealing said sheet and glass plate by applying heat and pressure thereto.
