Abstract

The present invention relates to a safety composite system, and/or intermediate layer films suitable for therein, having a high penetration resistance, i.e., energy absorption on sudden mechanical stress and to a process for the determination of the maximum energy absorption of intermediate layer films on sudden mechanical stress. The thickness-dependent energy absorption E [J/mm] of at least one film is determined according to DIN EN ISO 8256 on a test specimen of the safety composite system provided with pre-broken transparent panels and amounts to at least E>d−b, d being the film thickness and b being a constant. The safety composite system can be used in particular for the manufacture of composite glazings.

Claims (23)

1. A safety composite system comprising: at least two transparent panels and at least one film based on partially acetalized polyvinyl alcohol which is arranged between the panels,

wherein at least one film has a specific thickness-dependent energy absorption E [J/mm] of E>d−b determined on a test specimen consisting of the safety composite system provided with previously broken transparent panels according to DIN EN ISO 8256, the film thickness d amounting to 0.01 to 25 mm, the width of the test body to 14 mm and the constant b to 0.275 to −0.275, with the proviso that d=0.375 for film thicknesses of less 0.375 mm, and

wherein at least one film is based on crosslinked or non-crosslinked plasticiser-containing polyvinyl butyral.

2. A safety composite system according to claim 1 , wherein at least one film consists of several partial layers based on the materials of partially acetalized polyvinyl alcohol, PET, PU, PMMA and/or polyolefin.

3. A safety composite system according to claim 1 , wherein said composite contains at least two films of crosslinked or non-crosslinked polyvinyl butyral with different plasticiser contents.

4. A safety composite system according to claim 1 , wherein at least one film consists of at least two partial films of crosslinked or non-crosslinked polyvinyl butyral with different plasticiser contents.

5. A safety composite system according to claim 1 , wherein at least one film exhibits a cold crack temperature according to ISO 8570 of less than −35° C.

6. A safety composite system according to claim 1 , at least one film exhibits a tensile impact strength according to DIN EN ISO 8256 of more than 2000 kJ/m 2 .

7. A safety composite system according to claim 1 , wherein at least one film exhibits an adhesion to a glass surface according to the compression shear test according to DIN 19 756 274 A1 of between 8 and 30 N/mm 2 .

8. A safety composite system according to claim 1 , wherein at least one film exhibits, in a thickness of d of 0.76 mm, an energy absorption E of at least 0.5 J/mm.

9. A safety composite system according to claim 1 , wherein said composite system contains 2 to 10 transparent panels and 1 to 9 intermediate layer films.

10. A process for measuring the tensile impact strength of laminates of two transparent panels and a film arranged between the panels, said process comprising:

breaking the transparent panels such that the edges of the fractures facing the intermediate layer do not exhibit any displacement vis-à-vis each other and for applying a defined energy by means of a tensile impact machine according to DIN ISO 8256 (2004).

11. A safety composite system according to claim 1 , wherein and the constant b is −0.75 to 0.75.

12. A safety composite system according to claim 1 , wherein the transparent panels are made of glass, polycarbonate or polymethyl methacrylate.

13. A safety composite system comprising: at least two transparent panels and at least one film based on partially acetalized polyvinyl alcohol which is arranged between the panels,

wherein at least one film has a specific thickness-dependent energy absorption E [J/mm] of E>d−b determined on a test specimen consisting of the safety composite system provided with previously broken transparent panels according to DIN EN ISO 8256, the film thickness d amounting to 0.01 to 25 mm, the width of the test body to 14 mm and the constant b to 0.275 to −0.275, with the proviso that d=0.375 for film thicknesses of less 0.375 mm, and

wherein at least one film consists of at least two partial films of crosslinked or non-crosslinked polyvinyl butyral with different plasticiser contents.

14. A safety composite system according to claim 13 , wherein at least one film consists of several partial layers based on the materials of partially acetalized polyvinyl alcohol, PET, PU, PMMA and/or polyolefin.

15. A safety composite system according to claim 13 , wherein at least one film is based on crosslinked or non-crosslinked plasticiser-containing polyvinyl butyral.

16. A safety composite system according to claim 13 , wherein at least one film exhibits a cold crack temperature according to ISO 8570 of less than −35° C.

17. A safety composite system according to claim 13 , at least one film exhibits a tensile impact strength according to DIN EN ISO 8256 of more than 2000 kJ/m 2 .

18. A safety composite system according to claim 13 , wherein at least one film exhibits an adhesion to a glass surface according to the compression shear test according to DIN 19 756 274 A1 of between 8 and 30 N/mm 2 .
