Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to an interlayer film for producing laminated glass. Furthermore, this invention relates to laminated glass itself. Background Technology
[0002] Even if laminated glass breaks due to external impact, the number of glass fragments scattered is small, resulting in excellent safety. Therefore, laminated glass is widely used in automobiles, railway vehicles, airplanes, ships, and buildings. Laminated glass is manufactured by sandwiching an interlayer film between a pair of glass panes.
[0003] To suppress the transmission of ultraviolet rays, an interlayer containing an ultraviolet absorber having a benzotriazole framework is sometimes used (for example, Patent Document 1 below). In addition, in laminated glass, an interlayer containing a metal salt is sometimes used to improve the adhesion between the interlayer and the laminated glass components (glass plate, etc.).

[0006] Patent Document 1: WO2015 / 088866A1 Summary of the Invention
[0007] The technical problem that the invention aims to solve
[0008] To suppress ultraviolet (UV) transmission and improve the adhesion between the interlayer and the laminated glass component, an interlayer containing both a UV absorber and a metal salt is considered. However, in conventional combinations of UV absorbers with a benzotriazole framework and metal salts, yellowing of the interlayer sometimes occurs. While reducing the metal salt content can suppress yellowing to some extent, it also reduces the adhesion between the interlayer and the laminated glass component.
[0009] Therefore, conventional interlayers containing UV absorbers with a benzotriazole framework and metal salts are unlikely to achieve both the effects of preventing yellowing and improving the adhesion between the interlayer and the laminated glass components.
[0010] The object of this invention is to provide an interlayer film for laminated glass that is less prone to yellowing and improves the adhesion between the interlayer film and the laminated glass components. Furthermore, the object of this invention is to provide laminated glass using the aforementioned interlayer film.

[0045] The present invention will now be described in detail.
[0046] (Intermediate film for laminated glass)
[0047] The interlayer film for laminated glass of the present invention (sometimes referred to simply as "interlayer film" in this specification) is used in laminated glass.
[0048] The intermediate film of the present invention has a single-layer structure or a structure with two or more layers. The intermediate film of the present invention can have a single-layer structure or a structure with two or more layers. The intermediate film of the present invention can have a two-layer structure, a structure with two or more layers, a structure with three or more layers. The intermediate film of the present invention may only have a first layer. The intermediate film of the present invention may have a first layer and a second layer disposed on a first surface side of the first layer. The intermediate film of the present invention may also have: a first layer; a second layer disposed on a first surface side of the first layer; and a third layer disposed on a second surface side of the first layer opposite to the first surface. The intermediate film of the present invention can be a single-layer intermediate film or a multi-layer intermediate film. The structure of the intermediate film of the present invention can be partially different. For example, the intermediate film of the present invention may include a portion having a single-layer structure and a portion having a multi-layer structure.
[0049] The intermediate membrane of the present invention comprises an ultraviolet absorber (sometimes simply referred to as "ultraviolet absorber (X)") as shown in formula (X) below and a metal salt. Therefore, the intermediate membrane of the present invention comprises ultraviolet absorber (X) and a metal salt.
[0050] [Chemical Formula 5]
[0051]
[0052] In the formula (X), R1 represents any group, and R2 to R8 represent hydrogen atoms, atoms other than hydrogen atoms, or any group, respectively.
[0053] In conventional combinations of UV absorbers with a benzotriazole skeleton and metal salts, yellowing of the interlayer sometimes occurs. Furthermore, UV absorbers with a skeleton having hydroxyl groups directly bonded to a benzene ring (phenolic skeleton) are sometimes used as UV absorbers with a benzotriazole skeleton. The inventors have discovered that the yellowing of the interlayer is due to the reaction of the hydroxyl groups in the UV absorber with the benzotriazole skeleton with the metal salt. It should be noted that while reducing the metal salt content can suppress yellowing to some extent, it also reduces the adhesion between the interlayer and the laminated glass component.
[0054] In contrast, in the interlayer of the present invention, since an ultraviolet absorber (X) having an arbitrary group at a specific position on the benzotriazole skeleton (the R1 position in formula (X)) is used, the reactivity of the hydroxyl groups directly bonded to the benzene ring with the metal salt can be reduced. Therefore, the interlayer is less prone to yellowing. Furthermore, in the interlayer of the present invention, since a metal salt is used, the adhesion between the interlayer and the laminated glass component can be improved in the laminated glass.
[0055] That is, in the interlayer of the present invention, although it contains an ultraviolet absorber with a benzotriazole skeleton and a metal salt, it is not prone to yellowing and can improve the adhesion between the interlayer and the laminated glass component.
[0056] Furthermore, in the intermediate film of the present invention, when the intermediate film has a structure of two or more layers, the adhesion between the layers in the intermediate film can also be improved.
[0057] The intermediate film preferably comprises a layer containing an ultraviolet absorber (X) and a metal salt. When the intermediate film is a single-layer intermediate film with a one-layer structure, the intermediate film only comprises a first layer containing an ultraviolet absorber (X) and a metal salt. When the intermediate film is a multilayer intermediate film with a structure of two or more layers, the intermediate film preferably comprises at least one layer containing an ultraviolet absorber (X) and a metal salt. When the intermediate film is a multilayer intermediate film with a structure of two or more layers, it is more preferable that at least one surface layer of the intermediate film is a layer containing an ultraviolet absorber (X) and a metal salt, and even more preferably that two surface layers of the intermediate film are layers containing an ultraviolet absorber (X) and a metal salt. When the intermediate film is a multilayer intermediate film with a structure of two or more layers, it is more preferable that the second layer is a surface layer of the intermediate film, and this second layer is a layer containing an ultraviolet absorber (X) and a metal salt. When the intermediate film is a multilayer intermediate film with a structure of three or more layers, it is more preferable that the third layer is a surface layer of the intermediate film, and this third layer is a layer containing an ultraviolet absorber (X) and a metal salt. In the case where the intermediate film is a multilayer intermediate film having a structure of two or more layers, it is most preferable that all layers of the intermediate film contain ultraviolet absorber (X) and metal salt.
[0058] Hereinafter, specific embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

The second layer 2 and the third layer 3 are protective layers, and in this embodiment, they are surface layers. The first layer 1 is disposed and sandwiched between the second layer 2 and the third layer 3. Therefore, the interlayer film 11 has a multilayer structure (second layer 2 / first layer 1 / third layer 3) formed by sequentially stacking the second layer 2, the first layer 1, and the third layer 3.
[0061] The first layer 1 contains an ultraviolet absorber (X) and a metal salt. The second layer 2 contains an ultraviolet absorber (X) and a metal salt.

[0062] It should be noted that other layers may also be disposed between the second layer 2 and the first layer 1, and between the first layer 1 and the third layer 3. Examples of other layers include layers containing polyethylene terephthalate, etc. Preferably, the second layer 2 and the first layer 1, and the first layer 1 and the third layer 3 are directly laminated.

[0113] The magnesium salt (P) of the organic acid with a branched chain structure is preferably a magnesium salt of a carboxylic acid with a branched chain structure.

[0212] (Other details regarding the interlayer film for laminated glass)
[0213] The maximum transmittance of the interlayer film at wavelengths above 300 nm and below 350 nm is preferably below 0.1%, more preferably below 0.09%, and even more preferably below 0.08%. When the maximum transmittance is below the upper limit, the visible light transmittance is unlikely to decrease further even after prolonged use of the interlayer film and laminated glass. It should be noted that the maximum transmittance of the interlayer film at wavelengths above 300 nm and below 350 nm can be above 0%.
[0214] The transmittance of the intermediate film at a wavelength of 400 nm is preferably 1.5% or more, more preferably 3% or more, and even more preferably 5% or more. When the transmittance is above the lower limit, the visible light transmittance can be further improved.
[0215] The transmittance of the interlayer film at wavelengths above 300 nm and below 350 nm, and at a wavelength of 400 nm, can be determined as follows: The interlayer film is placed between two pieces of transparent glass with a thickness of 2.5 mm, according to JIS R3202:1996, to obtain laminated glass A. The transmittance of the laminated glass A at wavelengths above 300 nm and below 350 nm, and at a wavelength of 400 nm, are measured. The transmittance of laminated glass A at wavelengths above 300 nm and below 350 nm, and at a wavelength of 400 nm, are defined as the transmittance of the interlayer film at wavelengths above 300 nm and below 350 nm, and at a wavelength of 400 nm, respectively.

[0216] The ultraviolet transmittance (Tuv) of the interlayer film is preferably 0.5% or less, more preferably 0.3% or less, and even more preferably 0.1% or less. When the ultraviolet transmittance (Tuv) is below the upper limit, the visible light transmittance is unlikely to decrease further even after long-term use of the interlayer film and laminated glass. It should be noted that the ultraviolet transmittance (Tuv) of the interlayer film can be 0% or more.
[0217] The ultraviolet transmittance (Tuv) of the interlayer film can be determined as follows: The interlayer film is placed between two pieces of transparent glass with a thickness of 2.5 mm, according to JIS R3202:1996, to obtain laminated glass A. The transmittance of the laminated glass A at wavelengths above 300 nm and below 400 nm is measured. The value calculated from the transmittance of laminated glass A at wavelengths above 300 nm and below 400 nm using the method according to ISO 9050 is defined as the ultraviolet transmittance (Tuv) of the interlayer film. The ultraviolet transmittance (Tuv) can be measured using a spectrophotometer (e.g., Hitachi High-Tech Co., Ltd. "U-4150") according to JIS R3211:1998.
[0218] The absolute value (ΔYI) of the difference between the yellow index YI of the intermediate film and the yellow index YI of a comparative intermediate film having the same layer composition and thickness as the intermediate film except that it does not contain metal salt is determined. The absolute value of this difference (ΔYI) serves as an indicator of the reactivity of the ultraviolet absorber with the metal salt. The absolute value of this difference (ΔYI) is preferably 0.1 or less, more preferably 0.08 or less, and even more preferably 0.05 or less. If the absolute value of this difference (ΔYI) is below the upper limit, the color tone of the intermediate film is less likely to change due to variations in the amount of metal salt added, and the adhesive strength can be easily adjusted.
[0219] The yellow index YI of the interlayer film is a yellow index calculated from the total transmittance. The yellow index of the interlayer film can be determined as follows: The interlayer film is placed between two pieces of transparent glass with a thickness of 2.5 mm according to JIS R3202:1996 to obtain laminated glass A. The total transmittance of the obtained laminated glass A is measured. According to JIS K7373, the yellow index YI of laminated glass A is calculated from the total transmittance of laminated glass A. The yellow index YI of laminated glass A is defined as the yellow index YI of the interlayer film. It should be noted that the yellow index YI of the comparative interlayer film is also calculated in the same way.
[0220] It should be noted that the total light transmittance of laminated glass A was measured as follows.
[0221] Using a spectrophotometer, the laminated glass A is positioned parallel to the normal to the optical axis and in contact with the integrating sphere in the optical path between the light source and the integrating sphere, so that the transmitted light is received by the integrating sphere. The total transmittance refers to the visible light transmittance calculated from the spectrophotometric transmittance measured in this state. The total transmittance can be measured using a spectrophotometer (e.g., Hitachi High Technologies "U-4150").
[0222] There are no particular limitations on the preparation method of laminated glass A. An example of a preparation method for laminated glass A is shown below. Laminated glass A is prepared to determine the transmittance of the interlayer at wavelengths above 300 nm and below 350 nm, the transmittance at a wavelength of 400 nm, the ultraviolet transmittance (Tuv), and the yellow index (YI).

The laminate was placed in a rubber bag and degassed under a vacuum of 2.6 kPa for 20 minutes. While still degassed, it was transferred to an oven and vacuum-pressed at 90°C for 30 minutes to pre-press the laminate. In an autoclave, the pre-pressed laminate was pressed for 20 minutes at 135°C and 1.2 MPa to obtain laminated glass A.
[0224] It should be noted that when using the interlayer film of the present invention to obtain laminated glass products, transparent glass with a thickness of 2.5 mm according to JIS R3202:1996 can be used, transparent glass other than transparent glass with a thickness of 2.5 mm according to JIS R3202:1996 can also be used, and laminated glass components other than transparent glass can also be used.

[0312] (2) Transmittance of the intermediate film at a wavelength of 400 nm
[0313] Using a spectrophotometer (Hitachi High Technology Co., Ltd. "U-4150"), the transmittance of the laminated glass (laminated glass A) at a wavelength of 400 nm was measured by the method described above, and the transmittance of the interlayer at a wavelength of 400 nm was thus determined.
[0314] (3) Ultraviolet transmittance of the intermediate membrane (Tuv)
[0315] Using a spectrophotometer (Hitachi High Technology Co., Ltd. "U-4150"), the transmittance of the laminated glass (laminated glass A) at wavelengths above 300 nm and below 400 nm was measured by the method described above, and the ultraviolet transmittance Tuv of the interlayer was thus determined.

[0321] (5) Reactivity of ultraviolet absorber with metal salt (absolute value of ΔYI)
[0322] Between intermediate films containing the same type of UV absorber, the change (ΔYI) in the yellow index YI of the intermediate film due to the presence or absence of a metal salt is calculated. That is, ΔYI is the value obtained by subtracting the yellow index YI of the benchmark intermediate film (intermediate film without metal salt) from the yellow index YI of the intermediate film being evaluated. More specifically, ΔYI is calculated using the following formula. The combination of the intermediate film being evaluated and the benchmark intermediate film is described below. It should be noted that the closer the absolute value of ΔYI is to 0, the lower the reactivity of the UV absorber with the metal salt is suppressed, and the less likely the intermediate film is to yellow.
[0323] ΔYI = (YI of the intermediate membrane of the evaluated object) - (YI of the intermediate membrane used as the reference)
[0324] More specifically, as described below.
[0325] ΔYI = (YI of the intermediate film obtained in Examples 1-4) - (YI of the intermediate film obtained in Comparative Example 1)
[0326] ΔYI = (YI of the intermediate film obtained in Example 5) - (YI of the intermediate film obtained in Comparative Example 2)

[0338] The obtained laminated glass was left to stand for 16 hours at a temperature of -18℃±0.6℃. The central portion (150mm long x 150mm wide) of the glass was then struck with a hammer with a head of 0.45kg, pulverizing it until the glass particle size was below 6mm. The exposure of the film after partial glass peeling was measured, and the Pummel value was calculated according to Table 1 below. It should be noted that the Pummel value refers to the degree of adhesion between the interlayer film and the glass plate, and is a value defined by the exposure of the film (area %) after partial glass peeling, as defined in Table 1. A Pummel value of 2 to 7 was rated as "○", and all other values were rated as "×".
