Abstract

The present invention aims to provide an embossed thermoplastic resin sheet that is capable of enhancing deaeration during production of laminated glass and suppressing optical distortion of the resulting laminated glass to improve the visibility when used as an interlayer film for laminated glass. The present invention also relates to an engraved roll used for production of the embossed thermoplastic resin sheet, a production method of the engraved roll, an interlayer film for laminated glass including the embossed thermoplastic resin sheet, and a laminated glass. The present invention relates to an embossed thermoplastic resin sheet having a large number of recesses and a large number of projections on at least one surface, the recesses each having a groove shape with a continuous bottom and being regularly arranged side by side in parallel with one another, the thermoplastic resin sheet having not more than three defects of the projections per mm 2 on the surface.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A method for producing an engraved roll by a blasting method, the method comprising:
a step of forming an uneven pattern by spraying a blast material to a raw material roll having recessed grooves formed in parallel with one another in the circumferential direction, the blasting material being sprayed at an angle of 20° or smaller relative to a line connecting the tip of a blast gun and the axis of the raw material roll while rotating the raw material roll; and
a step of removing the blast material remaining in the recessed grooves by spraying the blast material at an angle of ±20° or smaller relative to a tangential plane direction of the roll and in a direction in parallel with the recessed grooves of the roll, while rotating the roll having the uneven pattern.
