Definitions

  • This invention relates to glass laminates having enhanced resistance to penetration by high velocity projectiles. More particularly, the invention relates to relatively thin glass laminates which not only stop glass from spaUing when impacted by small and medium caliber bullets but also stops penetration of the laminates by the bullets or other small high velocity projectiles.
  • U.S. 3,658,636 thick plates of an amorphous polyamide are formed into a sandwich structure with silicate glass.
  • U.S. 2,861,021 describes a structure in which polymethyl methacrylate sheets are laminated with polyvinyl butyral and faced with a layer of a polyamide, polyester or regenerated cellulose sheet. Multiple plies of glass and polyvinyl butyral are used in combination with a plastic interlayer as an impact absorption section in the structure disclosed in U.S. 4,130,684.
  • This invention provides a laminated glazing to which is attached a permanent, energy absorbing thin plastic composite consisting of an adhesive energy absorbing layer, such as polyvinyl butyral, and a strong, dimensionally stable, chemical and abrasion resistant layer, such as a layer of polyester film which may be coated with a polysiloxane or other abrasion resistant coating.
  • the thin plastic composite prevents spalling from the surface of the glazing to which it has been laminated.
  • the composite increases the integrity and penetration resistance of the constructions to which it is laminated when they are impacted by bullets or other projectiles striking the opposite surface.
  • a multilayered glass laminate consisting of at least three plies of glass is prepared by interposing layers of plasticized polyvinyl butyral between the plies of glass.
  • the plies of glass each should have a thickness from about 1/8 to aboutl/4 inch (3.175 to 6.35 mm) and the polyvinyl butyral layer should have a thickness from about 15 to about 60 mils (0.381 to 1.524 mm).
  • a thin composite consisting of an adhesive layer of polyvinyl butyral having a thickness from 15 to 60 mils (0.381 to 1.524 mm) and a polyester film having a thickness from about 3 to about 15 mils (0.0762 to 0.381 mm) is permanently bonded to an outer layer of the glass.
  • the total thickness of the composite is not greater than about 2 mm.
  • Anti-spalling and penetration resistant structures having an overall reduction in thickness of 20% or more as compared to known glass laminates used in bullet resistant glazing applications are provided by this invention.
  • the relative thickness and number of plies of glass of the structures of this invention will be determined by the "threat level", i.e. the size and velocity of projectiles which are expected to be encountered.
  • the polyvinyl butyral adhesive sheeting may be selected from the many commercially available grades of plasticized polyvinyl butyral. a particularly desirable product of the type disclosed in Moynihan, US Patent 4,292,372 is sold by E. I. Du Pont de Nemours and Company under the trademark Butacite ® . Other known adhesive material for glass laminates such as polyurethane may also be used.
  • the polyester film may be of the type disclosed in Know, US Patent 4,072,779, and may be coated with an abrasion resistant material as disclosed in that patent.
  • the glass may be selected in accordance with ASTM specifications, Designation C 1172-91. The glass may be tempered or annealed. Tempered glass is generally preferred.
  • FIGS. 1 and 2 are sections through the edge of a projectile resistant laminate according to the invention.
  • a projectile resistant laminate comprises three sheets 10, 12, and 14 of glass.
  • Glass sheet 10 is positioned in a direction likely to receive an impact from a projectile, e.g. a bullet, on its face 11.
  • Sheets 10, 12, and 14 are bonded together by interlayers of polyvinyl butyral which are from 15 to 60 mils (0.381 to 1.528 mm) thick.
  • a polyethylene terephthalate film 24 from 3 to 15 mils (0.0762 to 0.381 mm) thick is bonded to glass sheet 14 by an interlayer of polyvinyl butyral.
  • FIG.2 shows the laminate of FIG. 1 having an abrasion resistant coating 26 adhered to the outer surface of polyethylene terephthalate film 24.
  • Coating 26 maybe a silanol coating from 1 to 20 microns thick of the type disclosed in US Pat.4,469,743 and US Pat. 4,177,315.
  • the laminated structure of this invention may be prepared by known laminating methods.
  • Polyvinyl butyral film is interleaved between glass sheets 10, 12 and 14.
  • a composite comprised of polyethylene terephthalate film 24 and polyvinyl butyral film 22 is then positioned over the rear face of glass sheet 14.
  • a coverplate is placed over the assembly, the assembly is edge taped and placed in an airtight bag and subjected to a vacuum. The evacuated assembly is then autoclaved while the bag is maintained under reduced pressure.
  • Laminated glass test panels were prepared by sandwiching polyvinyl butyral sheeting having a thickness of 30 mils (0.762 mm) between one foot (304.8 mm)squares of nominal 100 mil (2.54 mm) thick glass .
  • Selected panels included a composite bonded to an outer layer of one of the plies of glass consisting of a layer of a Butacite ® polyvinyl butyral sheet having a thickness of 15 mils (0.381 mm) and a polyester film having a thickness of 0.007 inch (0.178 m).
  • a Single shot from a .38 caliber handgun was fired at the center of each panel from a distance of 15 feet (4.572 m). Spall was measured as grams of glass ejecting from the backside of the laminate. Spall designated "+ + + " was not measured but was estimated to be in the range from about 50 to 100 grams, designated “+ + " in the range from 10 to 15 grams, and "+” less than about 0.2 grams. The results of the tests are set out in the following table. TABLE 1
  • Results similar to those obtained with 4 plies of glass plus a composite as shown above are obtained using 3 plies of glass plus a composite having a total thickness of about 12.5 mm.
  • Table 2 the data from Table 1 is condensed and reformated to show a percentage of penetration versus sample construction, thickness and the ratio of penetrations to the number of samples tested for each type. Focusing on the samples each with 4 phes of glass, the standard laminate was penetrated, whereas the sample having the same number of plies plus the composite shield is only penetrated 25% of the time. In tests where the composite was not penetrated, no spall was generated. This improvement resulted from the addition of a polyethylene terephthalate and polyvinyl butyral adhesive film of only 22 mils (0.559 mm) thick as compared to a glass laminate thickness of about 0.5 inch (12.7 mm) (an increase of 6.4% in thickness).
