Abstract: A film that contains a core layer positioned adjacent to an outer layer is provided. The core layer contains a relatively high percentage of thermoplastic biopolymers that are both biodegradable and renewable. Despite being biodegradable and renewable, many biopolymers tend to be relatively stiff in nature. The present inventors have discovered, however, that through selective control over the components in the core and outer layers, a film can be readily formed having good mechanical properties. Among other things, this is accomplished by blending the biopolymer in the core layer with a polyolefin. A polyolefin is also employed in the outer layer. In addition to providing functionality to the film (e.g., heat sealing, printing, etc.), the polyolefin-containing outer layer also helps counteract the stiffness of the biopolymer in the core layer, and helps improve processability, stiffness, and ductility.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a substrate carrying a multilayer solar control stack, as well as to a multiple glazing incorporating at least one such sheet of glassy material carrying a solar control stack. The multilayer solar control stack comprises three functional layers based on a material which reflects infrared radiation and four dielectric coatings such that each functional layer is surrounded by dielectric coating. The geometrical thickness of the second functional layer starting from the substrate is less by at least 4% than the geometrical thicknesses of the first and third functional layers. The invention applies particularly to the formation of high-selectivity solar control glazings.

Abstract: Composite laminate interlayers for adhering a glass laminate comprising a sheet of polyethylene terephthalate (PET) between layers of plasticized polyvinyl butyral (PVB) adhesive layers, wherein at least one of the PVB adhesive layers is stiffened, e.g. by reduction in the amount of plasticizer, and has a glass transition temperature greater than 35° C. The PET is preferably 0.075 to 0.25 mm (3-10 mils) thick and can have a functional coating for reducing radiation, e.g. UV or IR or visible light, transmission through the glass laminate. The laminate can also comprise at least one elastomeric layer adapted to reducing sound transmission through the glass laminate. The laminates exhibit enhanced maximum flexural modulus of greater than about 350 Newtons/centimeter.

Abstract: A multi-layer biaxially oriented high density polyethylene (OHDPE) film with a novel formulation which exhibits superior heat seal properties is disclosed. This improved formulation comprises a blend of a single grade of high density polyethylene (HDPE) or several grades of high density polyethylene (HDPE) with a nucleating agent (NA) used in the core layer to achieve a lower sealing initiation temperature, higher heat seal strength and broader sealing temperature range HDPE-based film that still exhibits typical properties of OHDPE films and a lower haze than conventional OHDPE films. The multi-layer BOPP film has additional layers such as a third polyolefin resin-containing layer, a metal layer, or combinations thereof.
