Abstract

The present invention relates to a laminated glass including a first glass substrate, a first adhesive layer, a heat reflective film, a second adhesive layer and a second glass substrate, laminated in this order, in which the heat reflective film includes a resin film having specific thermal shrinkages in a direction that a thermal shrinkage becomes maximum and in a direction orthogonal to the direction, and a heat reflective coating formed on the resin film; the first adhesive layer and the second adhesive layer include a polyvinyl butyral film having thermal shrinkages in a direction that a thermal shrinkage becomes maximum and in a direction orthogonal to the direction; and the direction that a thermal shrinkage becomes maximum, of the resin film and the direction that a thermal shrinkage becomes maximum, of the polyvinyl butyral film are orthogonal to each other.

Claims (27)

1. A laminated glass comprising a first glass substrate, a first adhesive layer, a heat reflective film, a second adhesive layer and a second glass substrate, laminated in this order,

wherein the heat reflective film comprises a resin film having a thermal shrinkage in a direction that a thermal shrinkage becomes maximum, of 0.5% or more and 3% or less and a thermal shrinkage in a direction orthogonal to the direction of 0.1% or more and 2% or less, and a heat reflective coating formed on the resin film;

the first adhesive layer and the second adhesive layer comprise a polyvinyl butyral film having a thermal shrinkage in a direction that a thermal shrinkage becomes maximum, of 0.5% or more and 3% or less and a thermal shrinkage in a direction orthogonal to the direction of −2.5% or more and −0.5% or less; and

the direction that a thermal shrinkage becomes maximum, of the resin film and the direction that a thermal shrinkage becomes maximum, of the polyvinyl butyral film are orthogonal to each other;

provided that the thermal shrinkage of the resin film is a thermal shrinkage when the resin film is maintained at 150° C. for 30 minutes, and the thermal shrinkage of the polyvinyl butyral film is a thermal shrinkage when the polyvinyl butyral film is maintained at 60° C. for 30 minutes.

2. The laminated glass according to claim 1 , wherein the resin film has a thickness of 5 μm or more and 200 μm or less.

3. The laminated glass according to claim 1 , wherein the resin film comprises polyethylene terephthalate.
