  • Patent number: 10899059
    Abstract: Plasiticized polyvinylacetal films with greater film-to-film uniformity are produced by a process of extruding a melt stream containing a polyvinyl acetal and a plasticizer at 150-250° C., the film having a predefined melt viscosity at 60-170° C., by providing a first melt stream of at least a first plasticizer and a first polyvinyl acetal resin and measuring its melt viscosity at 60-170° C. online; and adjusting the 60-170° C. melt viscosity by adding a second plasticizer and/or a second polyvinyl acetal resin to the first melt stream in an amount to provide a second melt stream with a melt viscosity at 60-170° C. having a difference of at most 20% to the predefined melt viscosity at 60-170° C.
    Type: Grant

  • Publication number: 20200047468
    Abstract: An interlayer film for laminated glazing has at least one first and at least one second layer, each layer containing plasticized polyvinyl acetal, the first layer comprising polyvinyl acetal having a polyvinyl alcohol content from 10 to 16% by weight and a plasticizer content of at least 33% by weight, wherein the interlayer film has a total plasticiser content of at least 29% by weight and, when laminated between two glass panes of 2.1 mm thickness, exhibits after at least 4 weeks aging after lamination, a second mode frequency f2 according to ISO PAS 16940 of less than 720 Hz.
