A polyurethane-based sheet of high optical quality having energy-absorbing properties, obtained by the reactive pouring or spraying, on a flat, horizontal base, of a reactive mixture of an isocyanate component and a polyhydric alcohol component is disclosed. The ratio of the NCO equivalent isocyanate groups to the OH equivalent groups used in approximately equal to 1. The isocyanate component comprises a mixture of 3-isocyanatomethyl-3,5,5-trimethylcyclohexylisocyanate (isocyanate I) and bis-4-isocyanatocyclohexylmethane (isocyanate II), in a proportion of an isocyanate (I) NCO equivalent of 0.1 to 0.8, and of an isocanate (II) NCO equivalent, with the total NCO equivalent being about 1. The layer according to the invention is used in laminated glass containing at least one sheet of glass and one layer of a plastic material.

Polyurethane layer possessing energy-absorbing properties and its use in

The invention is directed to the method, products and apparatus for the manufacture of a high optical quality sheet of plastic comprising a polyurethane layer having energy-absorbing properties obtained by reactive pouring or reactive pulverization of the reaction components. In accordance with the invention, the polyurethane layer is treated, while it is in a state of ongoing polymerization corresponding to an NCO/CH ratio of less than 0.7, with water in a liquid or vapor form and then subsequently, after rolling with an interpolated film, stocking and unrolling, the layer is subjected to heat treatment.
