Abstract

The subject of the invention is laminated glazing comprising at least two glass sheets ( 1, 4 ) and at least one polymeric interlayer ( 2 ) made of polyvinyl butyral and binding said glass sheets together. The glazing is characterized in that at least one lacquer layer ( 3 ) is placed between the at least two glass sheets ( 1, 4 ).

Claims (23)

1. A laminated glazing assembly consisting of:

a first glass sheet;

a second glass sheet;

a film of lacquer deposited on the first glass sheet;

a polymer interlayer, which is in contact with the film of lacquer and provides the bond between the first glass sheet and the second glass sheet; and

an adhesion promoter, which is present in the form of a film interposed between the film of lacquer and a glass sheet or dispersed in the lacquer,

wherein the lacquer has a ratio of areas of the absorption bands associated with hydroxyl groups to areas of absorption bands associated with alkyl or alkane groups, R, of equal to or greater than 0.4 when the ratio is measured by an ATR infrared spectroscopy.

2. The glazing assembly as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the film of lacquer is opaque and the polymer interlayer is transparent.

3. The glazing assembly as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the film of lacquer has, at least on a surface of the film, chemical functional groups capable of chemically reacting with at least one of hydroxyl and carbonyl functional groups.

4. The glazing assembly as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the film of lacquer has an R z roughness of between 10 and 90 microns measured according to the norm NF EN ISO 4287:1998.

5. The glazing assembly as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the film of lacquer has a surface tension of between 30 and 70 J/mm 2 .

6. The glazing assembly as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the lacquer comprises an acrylic-resin-based binder, said lacquer being in particular crosslinked with at least one of melamine and an isocyanate.

7. The glazing assembly as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the lacquer has a water permeability of less than 10 −6 cm 3 ·cm·cm −2 ·s −1 ·Pa −1 .

8. The glazing assembly as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the film of lacquer comprises pigments resistant to at least one of ultraviolet radiation and mineral fillers in a content of between 40 and 70%.

9. The glazing assembly as claimed in claim 1 , wherein at least one of the glass sheets has, on at least one of faces of the glass sheet, raised features obtained by at least one of rolling, acid frosting, sandblasting and etching, or wherein an entire external face of the at least one of the glass sheets is frosted by hydrochloric acid or by sandblasting.

10. A method for obtaining the glazing assembly as claimed in claim 1 comprising placing at least one polymer interlayer between at least one glass sheet coated with a film of lacquer and at least one other glass sheet to form an assembly and then subjecting the assembly to a thermocompression treatment so as to bond said glass sheets together.

11. The method as claimed in claim 10 , comprising subjecting the film of lacquer to a plasma treatment, before the thermocompression treatment.

12. A partition, door, furniture glazing, ceiling, balustrade, luminaire cover, wall covering or staircase step comprising the glazing assembly as claimed in claim 1 .

13. The glazing assembly as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the lacquer comprises a binder comprising an acrylic resin crosslinked with melamine.

14. The glazing assembly as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the lacquer comprises a binder comprising an acrylic resin crosslinked with an isocyanate.

15. The glazing assembly as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the ratio R, determined by ATR infrared spectroscopy, of the lacquer is greater than or equal to 0.5.

16. The glazing assembly as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the ratio R, determined by ATR infrared spectroscopy, of the lacquer is greater than or equal to 0.6.

17. The glazing assembly as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the adhesion promoter is dispersed in the lacquer.
