example 1

[0043] Will figure 2 Window films similar to those shown and described in were mounted on 1 / 8 inch thick glass substrates. A small portion of the glass plate was immersed in a 0.05% by weight ethylene glycol dimercaptoacetate solution in ethyl acetate for 30 minutes. Then, rinse the treated edges with running deionized water. The samples were placed in a salt spray chamber maintained and operated in accordance with ASTM G85-02. After 3 days, the samples were removed from the salt spray chamber and inspected for signs of edge corrosion. The treated edges were found to show significantly less erosion compared to untreated edges. It was observed that the uncorroded edges extended beyond the line contacted with the resist solution. This is attributed to the wicking effect.

example 2

[0045] Five resist materials were tested in lightening and figure 2 Effectiveness in terms of edge corrosion for similar window films shown and described. The resist materials are as follows: 1-octadecanethiol (ODT), trimethylolpropane tris(3-mercaptopropionate) (TMP), 5-methyl-1H-benzotriazole (MBT), four (3-mercaptopropionic acid) pentaerythritol ester (PTT) and glycol dimercaptoacetate (GDA). These five materials were dissolved in ethyl acetate at 0.001 wt%, 0.01 wt%, 0.05 wt%, and 0.1 wt%. cut window film 1 / 4 "×6 1 / 2 " strips and soaked them in the above solution for 5 minutes, 15 minutes and 30 minutes. The treated strips were mounted on a 1 / 8" thick glass plate along with untreated strips of the same size. The glass plates were placed in a salt spray chamber and maintained according to ASTM G85-02. Samples were left in the salt spray chamber for 24 hours (unless specifically stated otherwise). Then, remove the sample and record the % of corroded edge length....

example 3

[0049] Pastes of CARBOPOL EZ-1 neutralized with triethanolamine containing 0.01 wt%, 0.1 wt% and 1 wt% GDA were prepared and applied to glass-mounted figure 2 shown on the edge of the window film. Let the paste dry overnight, then rinse off with water. The samples were then placed in a salt spray chamber for 24 hours according to ASTM G85-02, and the degree of corrosion was measured. For the 0.01% and 0.1% GDA concentration levels, the improvement in corrosion resistance was evident, but not as dramatic as expected. The paste containing 1% GDA did not appear to change the length of the corrosion edge compared to the control without any GDA, but the corrosion intrusion was less in the samples treated with the GDA containing paste. The results are shown below in terms of corroded area for comparison.

Abstract

A method of imparting corrosion resistance to an edge of a multilayer window film having a metal layer arranged between a pair of polymeric layers includes the step of treating the edge of the window film with a corrosion inhibitor.

Description

Background technique [0001] The present invention relates generally to window films that include metal layers, and more particularly to methods of imparting corrosion resistance to the edges of such window films. [0002] Window films are commonly used in commercial buildings, homes, and automotive applications to conserve energy, improve comfort, provide UV protection, inhibit leakage of high-frequency communication signals from the structure, and help reduce hazards associated with window breakage. Such window films are commercially available from 3M Company, St. Paul, MN under the product designation Scotchtint Window Films. [0003] Such window films may include a metal layer, such as a vapor deposited silver layer. High conductivity of the metal layer is desirable if the window film is to be used to suppress leakage of high frequency (eg 100MHz-6GHz) communication signals from the structure. In order to obtain a window film with an optimum combination of high conductivi...
