Polyurethane coated safety glass

Abstract

A scratch-resistant polyurethane coating for safety windows is made by curing a sheet of a liquid composition comprising (1) a polyglycol ether resulting from the condensation of propylene oxide with trimethylolpropane and containing 10.5%-12.0% free hydroxyls and (2) a biuret of 1,6-hexamethylene-diisocyanate, having 21-22% isocyanate groups, the weight ratio of said biuret to said polyglycol ether being about 0.9-1.1.

We claim: 
     
       1. A safety window comprising at least one glass sheet having bonded thereto an adherent solid transparent layer of a scratch-resistant polyurethane formed by curing a liquid mixture containing (1) a polyglycol ether resulting from the condensation of propylene oxide with trimethylolpropane and containing about 10.5-12% by weight free hydroxyls together with (2) a biuret of 1,6-hexamethylene diisocyanate having about 21-22% by weight isocyanate groups, the weight of said biuret being between about 0.9 and 1.1 times the weight of said polyglycol ether. 
     
     
       2. A safety glass laminate of a plurality of solid glass sheets having disposed between adjacent sheets an adherent, transparent solid interlayer of polyvinylbutyral and having bonded to at least one outer glass sheet of this laminate an adherent solid transparent layer of scratch-resistant polyurethane formed by curing a liquid mixture containing (1) a polyglycol ether resulting from the condensation of propylene oxide with trimethylolpropane and containing about 10.5-12.0% by weight free hydroxyls together with (2) a biuret of 1,6-hexamethylene diisocyanate having about 21-22% by weight isocyanate groups, the weight of said biuret being between about 0.9 and 1.1 times the weight of said polyglycol ether. .Iadd. 
     
     
       3.  A two-layered article comprising a layer of a scratch-resistant polyurethane cast onto a casting support, wherein said polyurethane layer is formed by curing a liquid mixture containing (1) a polyglycol ether resulting from the condensation of propylene oxide with trimethylolpropane and containing about 10.5-12% by weight free hydroxyls together with (2) a biuret of 1,6-hexamethylene diisocyanate having about 21-22% by weight isocyanate groups, the weight of said biuret being between about 0.9 and 1.1 times the weight of said polyglycol ether. .Iaddend. .Iadd.4. The two-layered article of claim 3, wherein said support is comprised of glass. .Iaddend. .Iadd.5. The two-layered article of claim 3, wherein said casting support is provided with a release agent between said support and said polyurethane film. .Iaddend. .Iadd.6. The two-layered article of claim 5, wherein said release agent is magnesium stearate. .Iaddend.
