A laminated glazing includes an outer sheet of clear glass and an inner sheet of clear glass, which are joined to one another by an interlayer of plastic, includes the succession of the following elements, from the inside to the outside of the glazing: the inner sheet of clear glass, a stack of layers reflecting infrared radiation between 780 nm and 2500 nm, the interlayer including successively a) a first thin sheet including a layer of a polymer compound or of a varnish, the polymer compound or the varnish including a dye, the dye absorbing substantially all of the light within the visible region and being substantially transparent to the infrared, b) a second thin sheet of an untinted plastic, the outer sheet of clear glass.

An interlayer film for laminated glass of the present invention comprises at least an absorption region in which a skin absorption energy rate (X1) of a laminated glass is 25% or less, provided that the laminated glass is produced using two clear glass plates having a solar transmittance of 87.3% based on JIS R 3106.

A laminated glazing for a head-up display (HUD). The laminated glazing has an outer glass pane and an inner glass pane, which are bonded to one another via a thermoplastic intermediate layer. The intermediate layer in the vertical course (C) between a lower edge L and the upper U edge of the laminated glazing is variable at least in sections between two virtual points P1 and P2 taken along the vertical course (C). The calculated surface area (S) surrounded a straight line connecting a first value V1 defined by a position (d(1)) and a thickness (Tk(1)) of the virtual point P1 and the last value V2 defined by a position (d(2)) and a thickness (Tk(2)) of the virtual point P2 is above 10.000 mm×μm.

A window unit including a glazing panel, a frame which has a frame profile and encompasses the edge of the glazing panel on at least one peripheral side and includes a plastic primary part, with the primary part having at least 10% in weight of recycled material.

A laminated glazing includes a first transparent sheet intended, in the mounting position of the glazing, to constitute the exterior face thereof, a second transparent sheet bonded to the first by an adhesive interlayer, a heating layer supplied with electric current by leads positioned at the periphery of the glazing, and a mask also positioned at the periphery of the glazing between the first transparent sheet and the leads so as to hide the latter from view from the outside in the mounting position of the laminated glazing, wherein the heating layer and the mask are on the same plane of the laminated structure of the glazing.

Automotive glass structures having curves and feature lines and methods for forming the same are provided. An example method includes applying localized heat (e.g., via a laser, heating element) to a location of a substantially planar glass structure and bending the glass structure at that location (e.g., along a line of the planar glass structure) to form a feature line in the glass structure. The bending can be formed to have a radius of curvature of between 2 mm and 5 cm. Additional layers of curved or joined glass layers may further be included to form a curved multi-layer glass structure for automotive use.

A laminated glazing to be used with an information acquisition system includes a first glass sheet; a first interlayer; a photopolymer film; a second interlayer; a second glass sheet; and a first information acquisition system viewing area for transmitting information to be collected by the information acquisition system wherein the photopolymer film provides an evenly patterned area in the first information acquisition system viewing area.

The present invention relates to a method of manufacturing an ionomer resin, comprising the steps of: (i) adding a poor solvent to a crude ionomer resin solution comprising a (meth)acrylic acid unit (A), a neutralized (meth)acrylic acid unit (B) and an ethylene unit (C) to allow a granular resin with a peak top particle size of from 50 to 700 μm to be precipitated; and (ii) washing the precipitated granular resin with a washing solution; wherein the total amount of the unit (A) and the unit (B) is from 6 to 10 mol % based on the entire monomeric units constituting the crude ionomer resin.

A laminated glass pane (1) comprises a first glass pane (10A), a second glass pane (10B) and an optically active film (20) laminated between the glass panes. The optically active film comprises a first conductive layer and a second conductive layer separated by at least one intermediate layer. The first and second conductive layers are contacted by a first (12A) and second (12B) connection wire, respectively. The optically active film is fully covered by both glass panes. Both the first and the second connection wires protrude out from the active film passing a first edge (14A) of the first glass pane in a same direction (18). The second glass pane protrudes outside the first edge of the first glass pane in the direction by an off-set distance (16). The off-set distance is at least equal to a smallest width of the first and second connection wires.
