  • Polymeric interlayers having a wedge profile
    Publication number: 20070009714
    Abstract: Continuous webs of self supporting adhesive sheet incorporating at least one layer of a polymeric composition such as polyvinyl butyral and comprising at least one area of a non-uniform thickness profile are provided. These webs are useful in the production of barrier windshields for heads-up display systems. The windshields may also optionally have acoustic barrier properties.
