  • Publication number: 20240165923
    Abstract: The invention provides a PVB interlayer sheet having a surface topography on at least one surface which is characterized as having a relatively low profile and a controlled, collapsible surface roughness profile (upon exposure to heat) having a population of significantly more surface peaks than negative peaks (valleys) in certain embodiments and slightly more distant peak spacing than is generally found in embossed PVB interlayers. The PVB interlayer sheets of the invention thus provide very good initial contact and tack of PVB to a glass surface, while leaving very little residual air behind after a first nip in a traditional glass lamination process when compared to other surface designs. The PVB interlayer sheets of the invention also exhibit a wide deairing window which affords greater tolerance of temperature and process variations.
