Abstract: A solar control film, for application to window glass by the consumer with minimum or no preparation, comprises a vapor deposited aluminum coat, which partially transmits light, interposed between a vinyl stratum and a polyester stratum, either of which contains an ultraviolet inhibitor and each of which is self supporting. This film is adhered by pressing the surface of its vinyl stratum against the window glass in either dry or wet condition.

Abstract: A security film for shatter-proofing windows comprises a polyurethane stratum interposed between a pair of polyester strata, each of which is self supporting, the film being bonded to the inner face of the window by a pressure sensitive adhesive.

Abstract: A security film for shatterproofing windows comprises: at least two oriented polyethylene terephthalate self supporting strata having critical thicknesses for shock absorption and tensile strength, of which at least one optionally has a semi-transparent vapor deposited aluminum coat for solar control; and at least two relatively soft bonding strata having critical thicknesses for adhesion and cohesion, of which at least one is an internal copolyester stratum for bonding self supporting strata together and one is a pressure sensitive stratum at the outer surface of the film for application to window glass.

Abstract: .[.A solar control film for application to window glass comprises a vapor deposited aluminum coat, which partially transmits light, interposed between a pair of moisture permeable polymeric strata, each of which is self supporting. In one modification, an optional outer coat on one of the polymeric strata is composed of a pressure sensitive adhesive in association with a silicone release sheet. In another modification, an optional outer coat on the other of the polymeric strata is composed of a silicone release agent..]..Iadd.
