A laminated glass and an interlayer film for laminated glasses are provided, which have the high performance for mitigating the impact given externally and, particularly in the case of using it as glass for vehicles, and which have the high performance for mitigating the impact when a person's head comes into collision with the glass due to the occurrence of a personal accident. Also provided is a laminated glass, wherein at least an interlayer film for laminated glasses and a glass sheet are laminated and unified, Head Injury Criteria (HIC) values, measured according to regulations of European Enhanced Vehicle-safety Committee; EEVC/WG 17, being 1,000 or lower.

Laminated glass and interlayer film for laminated glasses

A thermoplastic resin sheet is provided which has good penetration resistance over a range from low to high temperature region and can be used as an intermediate film of a laminated glass. The thermoplastic resin sheet has such a layered structure that a first polyvinyl acetal resin layer (A) is provided on each side of a second polyvinyl acetal resin layer (B). The first polyvinyl acetal resin layer (A) is comprised mainly of an acetalized product of polyvinyl alcohol with aldehyde (a) having 4-6 carbon atoms. The second polyvinyl acetal resin layer (B) is comprised mainly of a coacetalized product of polyvinyl alcohol with aldehyde (a) having 4-6 carbon atoms and aldehyde (b) having 1-3 carbon atoms. A polymer unit (X) derived from the aldehyde (a) and a polymer unit (Y) derived from the aldehyde (b), in total, account for at least 55% by mole while the first polymer unit (X) alone accounts for 0.5-80% by mole of the total of the coacetalized product.

Thermoplastic resin sheet and laminate

It is an object of the present invention to provide a laminated glass and an interlayer film for laminated glasses, which have the high performance for mitigating the impact given externally and, particularly in the case of using it as glass for vehicles, have the high performance for mitigating the impact when head comes into collision with the glass due to the occurrence of a personal accident. The present invention is directed to a laminated glass, wherein at least an interlayer film for laminated glasses and a glass sheet are laminated and unified, Head Injury Criteria (HIC) values, measured according to regulations of European Enhanced Vehicle-safety Committee; EEVC/WG 17, being 1,000 or lower.
