Abstract: A composite pane having a multiple-ply composite layer arranged between outer and inner panes is presented. The composite layer is a laminate that includes a first thermoplastic film, a polyester film, and a second thermoplastic film. Thicknesses a, b, and c of the first thermoplastic film, the polyester film and the second thermoplastic film, are bound by the expressions: a/b=1/5 to 5/1, and c/(a+b)=25/1 to 2/1. The first thermoplastic film and the polyester film have a common edge that runs at a distance A from the edge of the second thermoplastic film, and the material of the second thermoplastic film fills the space between the common edge, the inner face of the outer pane, and the edge of the second thermoplastic film situated at the distance A from the common edge. Methods for use and production of the composite pane are also presented.
