  • Method of Making a Laminated Glass/Polyolefin Film Structure
    Publication number: 20110168239
    Abstract: Laminated structures comprising a (i) glass layer, (ii) first alkoxysilane-containing polyolefin (PO) layer, (iii) catalyst layer, and (iv) second alkoxysilane-containing polyolefin layer, each layer having opposing facial surfaces, are prepared by a method comprising the steps of applying in adhering contact: A. One facial surface of the first PO layer to one facial surface of the glass layer; B. The catalyst layer to the facial surface of the first PO layer opposite the facial surface of the first PO layer in adhering contact with the glass layer; and C. The second PO layer to the facial surface of the catalyst layer opposite the facial surface of the catalyst layer in adhering contact with the first PO layer.
