Abstract

Transparent or translucent laminated safety glass having an at least two-layered structure, in which one outer layer is a relatively soft synthetic resin layer and the other outer layer is a hard substrate layer, characterized in that said relatively soft synthetic resin layer comprises: a surface layer of a reformed polyurethane type thermoplastic resin obtained by impregnating a polymerizable compound containing a polymerizable unsaturated group into a polyurethane type thermoplastic resin and polymerizing the compound; and an inner layer of a polyurethane type thermoplastic resin which is continuous or non-continuous with said surface layer.

Claims

1. Transparent or translucent laminated safety glass having an at least two-layered structure, in which one outer layer is a relatively soft synthetic resin layer and the other outer layer is a hard substrate layer, said relatively soft synthetic resin layer comprising:

a surface layer of a reformed polyurethane type thermoplastic resin obtained by impregnating a polymerizable compound containing a polymerizable unsaturated group into a polyurethane type thermoplastic resin and polymerizing the compound; and

an inner layer of a polyurethane type thermoplastic resin which is continuous or non-continuous with said surface layer.

2. The laminated safety glass according to claim 1, wherein said polymerizable compound is a polyfunctional acrylate or methacrylate.

3. The laminated safety glass according to claim 2, wherein said polyfunctional acrylate or methacrylate is a polyester of a polyhydric alcohol with acrylic acid or methacrylic acid.

4. The laminated safety glass according to claim 1, wherein said polymerizable compound is polymerized by ultraviolet radiation.

5. The laminated safety glass according to claim 1, wherein said polyurethane type thermoplastic resin is a polyurethane type thermoplastic resin containing no substantial free carboxylic acid groups.

6. A method for manufacturing transparent or translucent laminated safety glass having an at least two-layered structure, in which one outer layer is a relatively soft synthetic rsin layer and the other outer layer is a hard substrate layer, wherein said relatively soft synthetic resin layer is formed by impregnating a polymerizable compound containing a polymerizable unsaturated group into one surface of a polyurethane type thermoplastic resin constituting the laminated safety glass, and polymerizing said compound.

7. The method for manufacturing laminated safety glass according to claim 6, wherein said polymerizable compound is a polyfunctional acrylate or methacrylate.

8. The method for manufacturing laminated safety glass according to claim 7, wherein said polyfunctional acrylate or methacrylate is a polyester of a polyhydric alcohol with acrylic acid or methacrylic acid.

9. The method for manufacturing laminated safety glass according to claim 6, wherein said polymerizable compound is polymerized by ultraviolet radiation.

10. The method for manufacturing laminated safety glass according to claim 6, wherein polyurethane type thermoplastic resin is a polyurethane type thermoplastic resin containing no substantial free carboxylic acid group.

11. A method for manufacturing transparent or translucent laminated safety glass having an at least two-layered structure, in which one outer layer is a relatively soft synthetic resin layer and the other outer layer is a hard substrate layer, wherein a polymerizable compound having a polymerizable unsaturated group is impregnated into one side of a sheet or film of a polyurethane type thermoplastic resin, and then polymerized, and that said sheet or film is then laminated on said hard substrate layer so that the other side, which is not reformed, faces said substrate.

12. The method for manufacturing laminated safety glass according to claim 11, wherein said polymerizable compound is a polyfunctional acrylate or methacrylate.

13. The method for manufacturing laminated safety glass according to claim 12 wherein said polyfunctional acrylate or methacrylate is a polyester of a polyhydric alcohol with acrylic acid or methacrylic acid.

14. The method for manufacturing laminated safety glass according to claim 11, wherein said polymerizable compound is polymerized by ultraviolet radiation.

15. The method for manufacturing laminated saftey glass according to claim 11, wherein said polyurethane type thermoplastic resin is a polyurethane type thermoplastic resin containing no substantial free carboxylic acid group.
