  • Low-color stiff PVB laminates
    Publication number: 20060183833
    Abstract: The present invention describes laminate articles comprising a stiff, low-color PVB sheet having a YID of less than 12 and having a low concentration of plasticizer in the PVB composition, wherein the sheet is prepared from a composition that includes a PVB bleaching compound. A sheet of the present invention is useful for making glass laminates useful for parts in making cars, boats, trains, buildings, display cases, and other articles that utilize transparent glass laminates.
