Laminated glass having an opaque frame area is obtained by laminating at least one film A containing polyvinyl acetal PA and optionally at least one plasticiser WA and at least one film B containing a polyvinyl acetal PB and at least one plasticiser WB between two glass sheets, wherein prior to lamination the amount of plasticiser WA in film A is less than 22% by weight the amount of plasticiser WB in film B is at least 22% by weight and film A comprises at least on one surface a non-transparent region.

A method for producing laminated safety glass includes the steps of applying imagewise a thermally reducible composition including a organic metal salt on a glass surface or a thermoplastic polymeric surface, and heating at least the imagewise applied thermally reducible composition to form a metal from the organic metal salt.

A glass structure for a vehicle includes an outer layer of glass, an inner layer of glass, and an interlayer stack disposed between opposing surfaces of the outer layer of glass and the inner layer of glass. The interlayer stack includes at least two interlayer substrates and at least one of the interlayer substrates includes a decorative treatment. In another example, the interlayer stack includes at least two interlayer substrates and at least one of the interlayer substrates includes a functional component.

A decorative laminated glass includes a first glass sheet, a second glass sheet, and a colored lamination interlayer between the first glass sheet and the second glass sheet. A coating is positioned between the first glass sheet and the lamination interlayer, and in direct contact with the first glass sheet. The coating is formed by the series of the following layers, starting from the surface of the first glass sheet: optionally, a first stack of dielectric layers; a layer based on titanium oxide having a thickness of from 5 to 70 nm; and optionally, a second stack of dielectric layers.

A vehicle glazing includes a first pane and a second pane which are connected to one another via a thermoplastic intermediate layer which is sectionally colored, a metal-based functional layer which is deposited on an inner surface of the first pane facing the thermoplastic intermediate layer, on the inner surface of the first pane, a coating-free edge region which is free of metal-based functional layer and extends from a side edge of the first pane over at least 5 mm to at most 25 mm on the inner surface, wherein the thermoplastic intermediate layer includes a transparent region and a colored region, the colored region being arranged at least in the entire coating-free edge region.

A laminated glazing comprises a first glass sheet, a first interlayer, a second interlayer, and a second glass sheet. At least a portion of the second interlayer includes a first opaque print, and the first opaque print at least partially surrounds a window for collection of information. Optical distortion in the window for collection of information in the laminated glazing is closer to zero than an average optical distortion outside of the window for collection of information.

A glass laminate structure is disclosed with a first and a second glass ply and a printed polymer ply interposed between the first and second glass plies, the printed polymer ply may be of PVB or PET having nanoparticle-containing ink adhered to at least a portion of a surface. Optionally there may be at least one further polymer ply which may be of PVB, PVA, COP or TPU. The nanoparticle-containing ink may contain electrically conductive nanoparticles, especially silver nanoparticle-containing ink. Also disclosed is a process for producing such a glass laminate structure.

Production of glass laminates containing electrically conductive structures is facilitated by including the electrically conductive structures on a first polyvinyl acetate film with low or no plasticizer content, and employing a second polyvinyl acetal film with a high plasticizer content.

Disclosed is an invention that relates to a glass construction for balustrade glazing and/or railing glazing or glass supports, comprising a composite element, which is designed as a glass laminate and consists of at least two glass panes, which are connected by an adhesive intermediate layer made of plastic. According to the invention, in particular at least one edge of the composite element has an edge protector, which is connected at least in parts to the respective end faces of the at least two glass panes of the glass laminate in such a way that the intermediate layer is protected from the effects of moisture.
