Abstract

The invention relates to a method for producing a laminated glass pane free of optical obstruction, caused by warping, in reflected and transmitted light. The laminated glass pane comprises a first pane of glass, a second pane of glass and a multilayer spacer layer comprising a first composite film, a biaxially-stretched, thermoplastic carrier film provided with a thin layer system, and a second composite film. A carrier film provided with the thin layer system is mounted on the first composite film and has a thickness of from 30 to 70 μm and a degree of heat shringage of from 0.3 to 0.8%, measured after a heat treatment of 20 seconds at 120° C., in both directions. The second composite film is mounted on the carrier film. The packet of films is arranged between the two panes of glass so as to be wrinkle-free, pressed using pressure and heat and made into a composite with the panes of glass. A suitable carrier film and the use thereof for producing the laminated pane of glass are also disclosed.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . A process for the manufacture of a laminated safety glass pane which in reflected and/or transmitted light is free from wrinkle-related optical distortions, comprising a first glass pane, a corresponding second glass pane and a multi-layer intermediate layer, which intermediate layer in the form of a foil laminate consists of a first laminating foil, a bi-axially stretched thermoplastic carrier foil provided with a thin-film system, and a second laminating foil, with the characteristics: 
 1.1) Placed on the first laminating foil is a carrier foil provided with the thin-film system, which 
 1.11) has a thickness of 30 to 70 μm and  
 1.12) in both stretching directions displays a heat shrinkage degree of 0.3 to 0.8%, measured after a heat treatment of 20 seconds at 120° C.,  
 and the second laminating foil is placed on the carrier foil,  
   1.2) the foils according to characteristic 1.1) are arranged wrinkle-free between the two glass panes and pressed, using pressure and heat, as well as joined to the glass panes,    wherein within the framework of the measures according to 1.1) and/or 1.2) at least one deaeration is carried out.    
     
     
         2 . A process according to    claim 1   , wherein on the first glass pane a pre-laminate consisting of the first laminating foil and the carrier foil is placed and the second laminating foil is placed on the pre-laminate.  
     
     
         3 . A process according to    claim 2   , wherein after applying the pre-laminate, a pre-pressing is carried out using pressure and heat, and subsequently the second laminating foil is put on and pressed.  
     
     
         4 . A process according to    claim 1   , wherein onto the first glass pane the first laminating foil, the carrier foil and the second laminating foil, a pre-laminate of these foils is applied and subsequently the pressing is carried out.  
     
     
         5 . A process according to    claim 1   , wherein on the first laminating foil a carrier foil provided with the thin-film system is placed, the heat shrinkage degree of which according to characteristic 1.12) and 2.12) respectively lies in the range of 0.3 to 0.6%.  
     
     
         6 . A process according to    claim 1   , wherein on the first laminating foil a carrier foil is placed, which has a thickness of 40 to 60 μm, preferably approximately 50 μm.  
     
     
         7 . A process according to    claim 1   , wherein on the first laminating foil a carrier foil provided with the thin-film system is placed, which on both surfaces has a surface energy of at least 40 mJ/m 2 .  
     
     
         8 . A process according to    claim 1   , wherein laminating foils are used based on polyvinyl butyral or ethylenevinyl acetate and a carrier foil of polyethylene terephthalate.  
     
     
         9 . A process according to    claim 1   , wherein the pressing according to characteristic 1.1) is carried out at a temperature in the range of 115 to 135° C. with a pressure of maximum 13 bar.
