A laminar structure comprised of at least two layers FORCE ( ) of glass and a sheet ( ) of plasticized PVB containing an adhesion control additive is provided wherein the difference in adhesion between the PVB interlayer and the glass due to glass orientation is minimized by including a leveling agent in the bulk or on the surface of the sheet of plasticized PVB or by coating the leveling agent onto the glass prior to laminating.

Eliminating adhesion difference due to glass orientation in laminated safety glass

A laminar structure comprised of at least one layer of glass and a sheet of plasticized PVB containing an adhesion control agent is provided wherein pin point pockets of air which are entrapped in said sheet coalesce and cause delamination of said structure, delayed delamination and associated defects are prevented by adding a nucleating agent with the plasticized PVB by coating the sheet or glass surface with a nucleating agent, by extruding the PVB sheet with the nucleating agent in the composition, or by forming the nucleating agent in situ during the extrusion or lamination process.

Laminar product and process for preparing the same

A laminar structure comprised of at least one layer of glass and a sheet of plasticized PVB containing an adhesion control agent is provided wherein delamination resulting from air being from air being dispersed or entrapped and dissolved in the PVB is controlled by use of a surface energy modifying agent, said surface energy modifying agent being selected to provide a total surface energy for the sheet of less than 52 dynes/cm.

Delamination-resistant laminated glass structures

A poly(meta-phenylene isophthalamide) powder is provided which is coalescible under the influence of pressure followed by heating at temperatures below its crystalline melting point to provide molded objects of a solid and homogeneous nature. A process for preparing coalescible powders of poly(meta-phenylene isophthalamide) also is provided wherein a solution of said polymer in a solvent such as DMAC is added to a precipitant such as water to provide a slurry which is filtered, followed by washing and drying the resulting filter cake to provide a crumb which is ground and screened through a sieve of 35 mesh size (U.S. Standard).
