Abstract

Laminated safety glass wherein the adhesive binder used contains at least 50% by weight of 2-ethylhexylmethacrylate, 0.2 to 2% by weight of the binder of at least one alkylacyl peroxide and 0.005 to 0.5% by weight of the binder of at least one compound which contains a labile halogen atom, as solution in a phlegmatization agent, 0.01 to 10 ppm Cu⁺⁺ -ions in the form of a copper salt soluble in the binder and 0.05 to 3% by weight of the binder of a ω-mercaptoalkyltrialkoxy silane.

Claims

1. A bulletproof laminated safety glass comprising:

(2) a polycarbonate pane of at least 1.5 mm thickness which is thin relative to the silicate glass or acrylic pane, and which is provided for the rear side of the combination said glass pane and said polycarbonate pane being secured together along their planar surface area by an adhesive layer, which is produced in situ by hardening at temperatures between +10° and

+50°

C. of a binder which comprises in the uncured state at least 50% by weight from 2-ethylhexylmethacrylate, 0.2 to 2.0% by weight of the binder of at least one alkylacylperoxide and 0.005 to 0.5% by weight of the binder at least a compound which contains a labile halogen atom, as a solution in a phlegmatization agent, 0.01 to 10 ppm Cu⁺⁺ -ions in the form of a copper salt, soluble in the binder, and 0.05 to 3% by weight of said binder of a ω

-mercaptoalkyl-trialkoxy silane.

2. A bulletproof laminated safety glass as in claim 1 wherein the silicate glass pane is 6 mm in thickness and the polycarbonate pane is of 2 mm thickness.
