Abstract: A process for removing defects from the surface of a glass laminate comprising the step: (a) providing the glass laminate, wherein the glass laminate contains a defect on a surface; and (b) heating the surface containing the defect to at least 30° C., wherein the glass laminate comprises: (a) a glass layer, (b) a thermoplastic polymer interlayer laminated to the glass layer, (c) a polyester film layer laminated to the thermoplastic polymer interlayer, and (d) a clearcoat on the polyester film layer, wherein the clearcoat is a scratch-resistant composition obtained from reaction of (A) at least one hydroxyl-containing oligomer with at least one isocyanate-containing oligomer or (B) at least one anhydride-containing oligomer with at least one epoxide-containing compound.

Abstract: Provided are solar control laminates comprising a solar control film and a polymeric sheet. The solar control film comprises a polymeric film coated with a coating comprising inorganic infrared absorbing nanoparticles. Preferably, inorganic infrared absorbing nanoparticles comprise nanoparticles of antimony tin oxide (ATO), indium tin oxide (ITO), lanthanum hexaboride (LaB6) or mixtures thereof. Optionally, the solar control laminate also comprises a rigid sheet, such as a glass sheet.

Abstract: The present invention is an improved polymeric resin composition comprising or consisting essentially of from about 70 wt % to about 79 wt % units derived from ethylene and from about 21 wt % to about 30 wt % units derived from an ?,?-unsaturated carboxylic acid having from 3 to 8 carbons. Resins of the present invention are particularly suitable for preparing transparent laminates useful as glazing elements that provide a greater measure of safety than non-laminated glazing elements. Laminates of the present invention have 3% haze or less without the addition of amines.

Abstract: This invention relates to thermoplastic interlayers for laminated safety glass with superior vacuum de-airing at elevated temperatures and superior tacking and edge sealing properties. The sheeting has surface pattern on at least one of the surfaces characterized by flat surfaces with substantially uninterrupted channels for airflow in at least two non-parallel directions. The channels allow for rapid de-airing while the area roughness parameter ratio ARp/ARt in the range of 0.52 to 0.62, ARt being less than 32 ?m, and area kurtosis less than 2.5, allow for ease of tacking of the interlayer onto glass and edge sealing after de-airing has been completed. Said surface pattern may also be superimposed onto a pattern which is generated by melt fracture or other means on at least one side to enhance de-airing and aid edge sealing.

Abstract: The present invention is a laminate comprising at least one layer of an polyallylamine-based coating that is and in direct contact with at least one other polymeric layer.

Abstract: This invention is glass laminate article comprising a film which can block the transmission of infra red (IR) light. A laminate of the present invention comprises at least two sheets of a non-plasticized thermoplastic polymer which forms the outer layers of a three-layer IR-blocking laminate film.

Abstract: This invention is glass laminate article comprising a mar-resistant clearcoat. A laminate of the present invention resists scratches, and is easily repairable and even self-healable at temperatures above about 40° C.
