Abstract:
Safety glass is made by laminating to a ply of glass a saturated polyvinyl acetal film incorporating a photoinitiator. The exposed surface of the film is irradiated with ultraviolet light which activates the photoinitiator which in turn initiates crosslinking of the polymer. The polymer film retains its desirable mechanical and optical properties while the crosslinked surface has improved solvent-abrasion resistance.
Abstract:
An abrasion and solvent resistant polyurethane protective coating for bilayer windshields is formulated by the reaction of a polyester or polyether diol with an aliphatic isocyanate-terminated prepolymer.
Abstract:
A transparent safety glass laminate having an optically acceptable exposed plastic surface is fabricated by laminating an outer glass sheet and an inner preformed plastic sheet under heat and pressure with the plastic surface to be exposed supported against an optically smooth mold, preferably a second glass sheet, which is coated with an optically smooth coating of a material which acts as a release agent to facilitate separation of the plastic surface from the mold after lamination.

Abstract:
The surface characteristics of a partially crosslinked polyurethane innerlayer in a bilayer laminate are further improved by treating the polymer film with a small amount of a compound such as tetrahydrofuran, 1,4 dioxane, dimethyl formamide, morpholine, methylene chloride or secondary or tertiary lower alkyl amines in addition to the photoinitiator.

Abstract:
Retarding bloom in normally blooming polyurethane interlayers which are used in laminated windows, particularly motor vehicle safety glass windows in which one major surface of the polyurethane is exposed to the atmosphere, by applying a layer of wax to the exposed major surface of the polyurethane interlayer is disclosed. The resulting window is free from bloom for at least several months.
