Laminated Glass Interlayer Composition for Positional Stability
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional interlayer films for laminated glass often experience positional displacement between glass members during the production process, particularly when heated and pressurized in an autoclave, leading to alignment issues in laminated glass manufacturing.
Innovation Solution
An interlayer film containing a thermoplastic resin and a plasticizer, with specific birefringence indices and a glass transition temperature of 33°C or less, is used to prevent positional displacement between glass members by ensuring proper alignment and bonding during the laminated glass production process.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If conventional interlayer film is heated and pressurized in an autoclave during laminated glass production, then bonding between glass members is achieved, but positional displacement between glass members occurs
Solution Approach 1:
The patent modifies the physical and chemical parameters of the interlayer film by controlling the glass transition temperature (33°C or less) and plasticizer content (35 parts by weight or more per 100 parts of thermoplastic resin). These parameter changes enable the film to maintain optimal bonding properties while preventing positional displacement during autoclave processing.
Solution Approach 2:
The interlayer film is formulated as a composite material containing thermoplastic resin and plasticizer in specific proportions. This composite structure provides both the bonding capability needed for reliable lamination and the dimensional stability required to prevent glass member displacement during heating and pressurization.
2Manufacturing precision
If interlayer film has high plasticizer content to prevent displacement, then positional stability improves, but film flexibility may be affected
Solution Approach 1:
The patent optimizes the plasticizer content parameter to 35 parts by weight or more per 100 parts of thermoplastic resin, which provides sufficient positional stability while maintaining appropriate film flexibility for the lamination process.
Solution Approach 2:
The interlayer film exhibits different physical properties at different stages of processing: during autoclave treatment, the high plasticizer content provides positional stability, while during handling and installation, the thermoplastic resin maintains sufficient flexibility.
