Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

There is provided an interlayer film for laminated glass with which the visibility can be made uniform over the whole area of laminated glass. The interlayer film for laminated glass according to the present invention contains a thermoplastic resin and a heat shielding compound and has one end and the other end being at the opposite side of the one end and having a thickness thicker than the one end, the absolute value of a difference between the thickness of a thickest portion and the thickness of a thinnest portion is 0.1 mm or more, and in a sheet of laminated glass prepared by sandwiching the interlayer film between two sheets of heat ray-absorbing plate glass with a thickness of 2.1 mm, the absolute value of a difference between the visible light transmittance at the thickest portion of the interlayer film and the visible light transmittance at the thinnest portion of the interlayer film is 4% or less.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. An interlayer film for laminated glass, the interlayer film containing a polyvinyl acetal resin and a heat shielding compound and having an one end and an other end being at an opposite side of the one end, and the other end having a thickness thicker than the one end, the absolute value of a difference between the thickness of a thickest portion and the thickness of a thinnest portion being 0.1 mm or more, a distance between the one end and the other end of the interlayer film being 0.5 m or more, and in a sheet of laminated glass prepared by sandwiching the interlayer film between two sheets of heat ray-absorbing plate glass with a thickness of 2.1 mm, the absolute value of a difference between the visible light transmittance at the thickest portion of the interlayer film and the visible light transmittance at the thinnest portion of the interlayer film being 4% or less, wherein, in the thickness direction of the thickest portion of the interlayer film, a first region and a second region having a content of the heat shielding compound smaller than the first region exist, and the second region is positioned only between 0.5Z to Z when the distance from the one end to the other end of the interlayer film is defined as Z and the one end and the other end are set to 0Z and Z respectively, wherein, when the interlayer film is a multi-layered interlayer film and the multi-layered interlayer film has a colored band area or a colored region, 1) a surface layer has the colored band area, the colored band area containing a polyvinyl acetal resin, or 2) a surface layer has the colored region, the colored region containing a polyvinyl acetal resin, wherein the second region of the interlayer film contains the heat shielding compound, a content of the heat shielding compound in the second region being 0.5% by weight or less and greater than 0% by weight, and wherein, in a sheet of laminated glass prepared by sandwiching the interlayer film between two sheets of heat ray-absorbing plate glass with a thickness of 2.1 mm, the absolute value of a difference between the solar transmittance at the thickest portion of the interlayer film and the solar transmittance at the thinnest portion of the interlayer film is 5.5% or less. 2. The interlayer film for laminated glass according to claim 1 , wherein the absolute value of a difference between the content of the heat shielding compound in the first region of the interlayer film and the content of the heat shielding compound in the second region of the interlayer film is 0.0001% by weight or more. 3. The interlayer film for laminated glass according to claim 1 , wherein, when the absolute value of a difference between the thickness of the thickest portion and the thickness of the thinnest portion is defined as X mm, X mm is more than 0.28 and the thickness of a thickest portion in the second region is (X−0.28) or more and X or less. 4. The interlayer film for laminated glass according to claim 1 , wherein the heat shielding compound is constituted of at least one kind of ingredient among a phthalocyanine compound, a naphthalocyanine compound, and an anthracyanine compound or is constituted of heat shielding particles. 5. The interlayer film for laminated glass according to claim 4 , wherein the heat shielding compound is constituted of the heat shielding particles. 6. The interlayer film for laminated glass according to claim 4 , wherein the heat shielding compound is constituted of tin-doped indium oxide particles or tungsten oxide particles as the heat shielding particles. 7. The interlayer film for laminated glass according to claim 4 , wherein the heat shielding compound is constituted of at least one kind of the ingredient among a phthalocyanine compound, a naphthalocyanine compound, and an anthracyanine compound. 8. The interlayer film for laminated glass according to claim 1 , further containing a plasticizer. 9. The interlayer film for laminated glass according to claim 1 , further having a portion with a sectional shape in the thickness direction of a wedge-like shape. 10. A laminated glass, comprising: a first lamination glass member; a second lamination glass member; and the interlayer film for laminated glass according to claim 1 , the interlayer film for laminated glass being arranged between the first lamination glass member and the second lamination glass member. 11. The interlayer film for laminated glass according to claim 1 , wherein in a sheet of laminated glass prepared by sandwiching the interlayer film between two sheets of heat ray-absorbing plate glass with a thickness of 2.1 mm, the lower visible light transmittance among the visible light transmittance at the thickest portion of the interlayer film and the visible light transmittance at the thinnest portion of the interlayer film is 65% or more. 12. The interlayer film for laminated glass according to claim 1 , further comprising at least one kind of metal salt selected from the group consisting of an alkali metal salt, an alkaline earth metal salt, and a magnesium salt. 13. The interlayer film for laminated glass according to claim 12 , wherein the metal salt is a magnesium salt. 14. The interlayer film for laminated glass according to claim 1 , wherein the interlayer film is the multi-layered interlayer film and the multi-layered interlayer film has a colored band area or a colored region. 15. The interlayer film for laminated glass according to claim 1 , further comprising at least one oxidation inhibitor selected from the group consisting of a phenol-based oxidation inhibitor, a sulfur-based oxidation inhibitor, and a phosphorus-based oxidation inhibitor. 16. The interlayer film for laminated glass according to claim 1 , further comprising an ultraviolet ray screening agent, the ultraviolet ray screening agent comprising at least one selected from the group consisting of platinum particles, platinum particles coated with silica, palladium particles, and palladium particles coated with silica. 17. The interlayer film for laminated glass according to claim 16 , wherein the ultraviolet ray screening agent further comprises a metal oxide coated with at least one selected from the group consisting of an insulating metal oxide, a hydrolyzable organosilicon compound, and a silicone compound.
