  • Patent number: 7883761
    Abstract: The present invention provides multiple layer interlayers having a relatively soft inner layer and relatively stiff outer layers that can be laminated without unacceptable optical distortion and used in various multiple layer glass panel type applications. Multiple layer interlayers of the present invention have surface topography that is formed by embossing the exposed surface of the interlayer, or individual layers of the multiple layer interlayer, after formation of the interlayer or layers. The embossing process is carried out under temperature conditions that prevent the transfer of the embossing to inner layers of the interlayer. By precisely controlling the embossing of the interlayer, lamination of the interlayer with a rigid substrate does not lead to unacceptable optical distortion caused by the transfer of the surface topography through outer, stiffer layers into softer, internal layers of the interlayer.

  • Patent number: 7727634
    Abstract: This invention is directed to a plastic composite comprising color images printed onto a polymeric support film using UV ink. The polymeric support film layer may be bonded to a polymeric film selected from the group consisting of aliphatic polyurethane and ethyl vinyl acetate. The combined laminate can then optionally be disposed between two layers of plasticized PVB, forming the plastic composite. The plastic composite can then be placed between two sheets of glass forming the final laminated glass product. Preferably, when the UV image is printed on the polymeric support film, the image is only partially cured by a UV lamp. After the polymeric support film is contacted with the polymeric film, with the partially cured UV image therebetween, the laminate is exposed to a second UV lamp operating at full power so as to completely cure the UV image.
