Abstract: An interlayer film for laminated glass comprising laminated layers of at least one layer (A) which comprises a plasticizer and polyvinyl acetal resin for which the number of carbon atoms in the acetal group is 4, 5 or 6 and the mole ratio of the average amount of the ethylene groups bonded to acetyl groups is 8-30 mole % of the total amount of the main chain ethylene groups, and at least one layer (B) which comprises a plasticizer and polyvinyl acetal resin for which the number of carbon atoms in the acetal group is 3 or 4 and the mole ratio of the amount of the average ethylene groups bonded to acetyl groups is 4 mole % or less of the total amount of the main chain ethylene groups.

Abstract: An interlayer for use in sound-insulating laminated glasses which is in the form of a laminated film of two kinds of resin films (A) and (B), each comprising a polyvinyl acetal acetalized with an aldehyde having 6 to 10 carbon atoms for the film (A) or with an aldehyde having 1 to 4 carbon atoms for the film (B), or is in the form of a resin film (C) comprising a mixture of the two kinds of polyvinyl acetal resins. The interlayer mitigates the coincidence effect to prevent the reduction of TL value without impairing the basic characteristics required of laminated glasses thereby permitting the interlayer to exhibit outstanding sound-insulating properties over a wide temperature range for a prolonged period of time.

Abstract: A heat transfer sheet comprises a substrate sheet and a heat transfer layer laminated on the substrate sheet and containing a dye which can be caused to migrate by heating to be transferred onto a transferable sheet, said heat transfer sheet containing a polyvinyl acetacetal resin as a binder component, the acetal moiety of said polyvinyl acetacetal resin being 50% by weight or more based on the total amount of the resin, and 80% by weight or more of said acetal moiety comprising polyvinyl acetacetal.A process for producing a polyvinyl acetacetal resin by the reaction of a polyvinyl alcohol and acetaldehyde in an aqueous phase in the presence of 4 to 10% by weight of an acid catalyst comprises initiating precipitation of an acetalated product by maintaining the reaction system at a temperature of 8.degree. to 17.degree. C. for 30 minutes or longer, and then maintaining said reaction at a temperature of 25.degree. to 40.degree. C.
