Abstract

An interlayer film for laminated glass that suppresses the transmittance of ultraviolet rays with a wave length of 400 nm to 1% or less, and has high light resistance. The interlayer film for laminated glass comprises a thermoplastic resin, an ultraviolet absorber having a structure of formula (1), and an ultraviolet absorber having a structure of formula (2), wherein the amount of the ultraviolet absorber of formula (1) is 0.001 to 0.05% by weight, and the amount of the ultraviolet absorber of formula (2) is 0.5 to 1.0% by weight; wherein R 1 is a C 1-3 alkyl group; R 2 is hydrogen, a C 1-10 alkyl group, or a C 7-10 aralkyl group; R 3 is hydrogen or a C 1-8 alkyl group; and R 4 is hydrogen or a C 1-8 alkyl group.

Claims (24)

1. An interlayer film for laminated glass comprising:

a thermoplastic resin,

an ultraviolet absorber having a structure of the following formula (1), and

an ultraviolet absorber having a structure of the following formula (2),

wherein an amount of the ultraviolet absorber having the structure of formula (1) is 0.001 to 0.05% by weight, and an amount of the ultraviolet absorber having the structure of formula (2) is 0.5 to 1.0% by weight;

wherein R 1 is a C 1-3 alkyl group; R 2 is hydrogen, a C 1-10 alkyl group, or a C 7-10 aralkyl group; R 3 is hydrogen or a C 1-8 alkyl group; and R 4 is hydrogen or a C 1-8 alkyl group.

2. The interlayer film for laminated glass according to claim 1 , further comprising triethylene glycol di-2-ethylhexanoate.

3. The interlayer film for laminated glass according to claim 1 , wherein the thermoplastic resin is a polyvinyl acetal resin.

4. The interlayer film for laminated glass according to claim 1 , wherein the thermoplastic resin is a polyvinyl butyral resin.

5. The interlayer film for laminated glass according to claim 1 , wherein the amount of the ultraviolet absorber having the structure of formula (1) is 0.01 to 0.04% by weight, and the amount of the ultraviolet absorber having the structure of formula (2) is 0.6 to 1.0% by weight.

6. The interlayer film for laminated glass according to claim 1 , further comprising an infrared absorbing agent.

7. The interlayer film for laminated glass according to claim 6 , wherein the infrared absorbing agent is made of tin-doped indium oxide particles.

8. The interlayer film for laminated glass according to claim 1 , wherein a cross-section of the interlayer film for laminated glass is a wedge shape with a wedge angle θ of 0.1 to 1.0 mrad.

9. The interlayer film for laminated glass according to claim 1 , comprising a sound-insulation layer.

10. The interlayer film for laminated glass according to claim 1 , wherein at least one part of the interlayer film for laminated glass is colored.

11. The interlayer film for laminated glass according to claim 1 , wherein a yellowness index is 5 or less when the interlayer film for laminated glass is set to have a thickness of 760 μm and sandwiched between two glass plates.

12. The interlayer film for laminated glass according to claim 1 , wherein a visible light transmission Tv is 70% or more after the interlayer film for laminated glass is set to have a thickness of 760 μm, sandwiched between two glass plates, and irradiated with ultraviolet rays for 2,000 hours using an ultraviolet rays irradiation device in accordance with JIS R 3205 (1998).

13. The interlayer film for laminated glass according to claim 1 , wherein a yellowness index is 5 or less after the interlayer film for laminated glass is set to have a thickness of 760 μm, sandwiched between two glass plates, and irradiated with ultraviolet rays for 2,000 hours using an ultraviolet ray irradiation device in accordance with JIS R 3205 (1998).

14. The interlayer film for laminated glass according to claim 1 , wherein the interlayer film for laminated glass has an absolute value of 1 or less, where the absolute value is given by the difference between the transmittance of ultraviolet rays with a wave length of 400 nm of the interlayer film for laminated glass, after being set to have a thickness of 760 μm and sandwiched between two glass plates, and the transmittance of ultraviolet rays with a wave length of 400 nm of the interlayer film for laminated glass, after being set to have a thickness of 760 μm, sandwiched between two glass plates, and irradiated with ultraviolet rays for 2,000 hours using an ultraviolet ray irradiation device in accordance with JIS R 3205 (1998).

15. A laminated glass comprising:

the interlayer film for laminated glass according to claim 1 , and

two glass plates,

wherein the interlayer film for laminated glass is sandwiched between the two glass plates.

16. The laminated glass according to claim 15 , wherein the glass plates are made of 2-mm-thick green glass.
