Transparent laminate and adhesive film

摘要

The invention relates to transparent or optically clear laminates and adhesive films used to make these laminates having a temperature utility range far greater than those previously developed and which are especially useful for windshields of high speed aircraft which need such a broad temperature range. These transparent adhesive films have a temperature utility in the range of -65 DEG F to at least 350 DEG F in laminates and comprise an ethylene/vinyl acetate copolymer having a vinyl acetate content in the range of 40% to 60%, the copolymer being partially hydrolyzed to form a terpolymer having a hydroxyl content in the range of 1% to 6%, the terpolymer in film form and/or laminate being heat treated and cross-linked to give the adhesive film. The laminates are made from transparent layers of glass and/or plastic bound together with the transparent adhesive film.
