A fire resistant vacuum insulating glazing assembly includes at least one vacuum insulating glazing unit that has a first glass pane, GP1, which includes an inner pane face and an outer pane face and a second glass pane, GP2, which includes an inner pane face and an outer pane face. A set of discrete pillars is positioned between the first and second glass panes and maintains a distance between the first and the second glass panes. A hermetically bonding seal seals the distance between the first and second glass panes over a perimeter. An internal volume, V, is defined by the first and second glass panes and is closed by the hermetically bonding seal. There is a vacuum of absolute pressure of less than 0.1 mbar and the inner pane faces face the internal volume, V.

The inner pane faces face the internal volume, and the glazing assembly further includes at least one intumescent unit having a layer of intumescent material, an intumescent unit glass pane, and an intumescent unit peripheral spacer. The intumescent unit glass pane and the intumescent unit peripheral spacer define an intumescent unit volume, and the layer of intumescent material and the intumescent unit peripheral spacer face one of the outer pane faces of the first or second glass panes.

Laminated automotive glazing, once limited to just the windshield, is finding more and more application in other positions in vehicles due to its ability to reduce weight, as well as to improve passenger safety, security and comfort. Designing a laminate that can serve as a direct replacement for tempered glass can be challenging Tempered glass is 4 to 5 times stronger than annealed glass and the lamination process has limitations that are not present with tempered. In particular, it is difficult to produce thin laminated glazing with holes. The laminate of the invention comprises strengthened thin glass layers in combination with laminated inserts to provide a thin laminated glazing with holes that has all of the advantages inherent in a laminate while retaining the reliability and utility of a tempered part and further can serve as a direct replacement for a tempered part.

An optical coating for a glass substrate includes an inner metal or metal alloy layer, a first pair of transparent conductive oxide or dielectric layers, and a pair of outer metal or metal alloy layers. The optical coating includes an eye-weighted transmittance of less than about 20% and an eye-weighted reflectance of less than about 30%, as measured with a D65 illuminant according to the CIE 10° Standard Observer.

A automobile laminated glass according to the present invention includes: a curved outer glass plate; a curved inner panel that is smaller than the outer glass plate and is disposed opposing the outer glass plate; and an intermediate film that includes a functional layer and is disposed between the outer glass plate and the inner panel, wherein at least a portion of the inner panel is located inward of a peripheral edge of the outer glass plate.

A laminated glazing comprising first and second sheets of glass joined together by an interlayer structure comprising at least first and second layers of adhesive interlayer material with a support sheet therebetween is disclosed. The laminated glazing is arranged such that the first layer of adhesive interlayer material is between the first sheet of glass and the support sheet, the second layer of adhesive interlayer material is between the second sheet of glass and the support sheet support material and at least a portion of the second major surface of the first sheet of glazing material faces the first major surface of the second sheet of glazing material. In the event of breakage of the first sheet of glass, the second layer of adhesive interlayer material remains attached to the support sheet thereby keeping the second glass sheet from becoming detached from the laminated glazing.

The present invention relates to a laminated body with electric conductor including a substrate; a functional layer having at least an adhesive layer; an electric conductor; and a protective material, wherein the substrate, the functional layer having at least the adhesive layer, the electric conductor, and the protective material are sequentially laminated in a thickness direction, and wherein a thickness of the functional layer is less than or equal to 0.300 mm.

A composite pane with at least one functional element, includes a first pane including an inner side III and an outer side IV, a second pane including an inner side II and an outer side I, a thermoplastic intermediate layer that joins the inner side III of the first pane laminarly to the inner side II of the second pane, at least one functional element that is incorporated into the thermoplastic intermediate layer, wherein the at least one functional element is directly adjacent the inner side III of the first pane and/or the inner side II of the second pane, and a deaeration structure is mounted at least in the region of the functional element that is directly adjacent the first pane and/or second pane.
