LAMINATED GLAZING HAVING A FUNCTIONAL FILM
Provided is a laminated glazed unit having at least one first glass substrate and a second glass substrate, at least one functional film arranged between the two glass substrates, at least one first lamination interlayer film between the first glass substrate and the functional film, and at least one second lamination interlayer film between the second glass substrate and the functional film. The functional film has at least one layer of a transparent adhesive material, referred to as OCA, which is viscoelastic so as to be deformable in its thickness during the process for laminating the glazed unit.
1 : A laminated glazed unit, comprising
at least one first glass substrate and a second glass substrate,
at least one functional film arranged between the first and second glass substrates,
at least one first lamination interlayer film between the first glass substrate and the functional film, and
at least one second lamination interlayer film between the second glass substrate and the functional film,
wherein the functional film comprises at least one layer of a transparent adhesive material OCA, which is viscoelastic so as to be deformable in its thickness during a process for laminating the glazed unit.
