Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Multilayered interlayers having improved acoustic properties comprising a stiff skin layer(s) and a soft core layer comprising EVA are disclosed. The multilayered interlayers comprise: a first polymer layer (skin layer); a second polymer layer (skin layer); and a third polymer layer (core layer) comprising ethylene vinyl acetate resin between the first polymer layer and the second polymer layer.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1 . A multilayer interlayer comprising: a first polymer layer; a second polymer layer; a third polymer layer comprising an ethylene vinyl acetate copolymer having a vinyl acetate content of at least 70 weight percent, wherein the third polymer layer is between and in contact with the first polymer layer and the second polymer layer, and wherein the first polymer layer comprises a poly(vinyl acetal) resin and at least one plasticizer and the second polymer layer comprises poly(vinyl acetal) resin. 2 . The multilayer interlayer of claim 1 , wherein the third polymer layer comprises no added plasticizer. 3 . The multilayer interlayer of claim 1 , wherein the third polymer layer comprises a plasticizer. 4 . The multilayer interlayer of claim 1 , wherein the third polymer layer has a glass transition temperature (Tg) of less than 0° C. 5 . The multilayer interlayer of claim 1 , wherein the third polymer layer comprises an adhesion modifier in an amount of at least 0.1 weight percent. 6 . The multilayer interlayer of claim 1 , wherein the first polymer layer comprises a poly(vinyl butyral) resin and at least one plasticizer. 7 . The multilayer interlayer of claim 1 , wherein the second polymer layer comprises a poly(vinyl butyral) resin and at least one plasticizer. 8 . The multilayer interlayer of claim 1 , wherein the multilayer interlayer has a sound transmission loss (STL) (as measured by ASTM E90 (2009) at 20° C. in a 2.3 mm/2.3 mm glass configuration) of at least about 40 decibels (dB) at 4000 Hertz (Hz) and damping loss factor of at least 0.2 (as measured by ISO16940 at 20° C. in a 2.3 mm/2.3 mm glass configuration). 9 . The multilayer interlayer of claim 1 , wherein the multilayer interlayer has a sound transmission loss (STL) (as measured by ASTM E90 (2009) at 20° C. in a 2.3 mm/2.3 mm glass configuration) of at least about 39 dB at 2000 Hz. 10 . The multilayer interlayer of claim 1 , wherein the multilayer interlayer has a sound transmission loss (STL) (as measured by ASTM E90 (2009) at 20° C. in a 2.3 mm/2.3 mm glass configuration) of at least about 47.5 dB at 6350 Hz. 11 . A multiple layer glazing comprising: a first rigid substrate, the interlayer of claim 1 , and a second rigid substrate.
