Abstract:
1. A laminate comprising (1) a polymer sheet comprising plasticized polyvinyl butyral, said plasticized polyvinyl butyral comprising a polyvinyl butyral polymer and about 15 to about 80 parts of plasticizer per hundred parts of polyvinyl butyral and, optionally, one or more additives selected from the group consisting of an adhesion control additive, an antioxidant, an ultraviolet absorbers, an ultraviolet stabilizer, a thermal stabilizer, a hindered amine light stabilizer, a colorant, a processing aid, a flow enhancing additive, a lubricant, a pigment, a dye, a flame retardant, an impact modifier, a nucleating agent, an antiblocking agent, a dispersant, a surfactant, a chelating agent and a coupling agent; said polymer sheet having upper and lower surfaces, and said polymer sheet having a thickness of at least about 0.75 mm, wherein at least a portion of at least one of said upper or lower surfaces consists essentially of an image disposed directly on at least ten percent of said upper or lower surfaces of said polymer sheet; (2) at least one layer of a biaxially oriented poly(ethylene terephthalate) film that is a solar control film; and (3) an adhesive composition, wherein said adhesive composition consists of one or both of gamma-aminopropyl-triethoxysilane and N-beta-(aminoethyl)-gamma-aminopropyl-trimethoxysilane; wherein said adhesive composition is disposed on one hundred percent of said at least one surface bearing said image; and wherein said adhesive composition forms a coating having a thickness of about 0.026 mm or less; and wherein said image is disposed between said coating and said at least one surface.
