Patent ID: 8530542

Claim:
A method for forming a tri-layer laminated window comprising: a) assembling a mold comprising two plies that make up a laminated window, the plies being a predetermined distance apart and the plies selected from glass, plastic, or one of each; b) filling the mold by a non-extrusion process with a reaction mixture for forming a polymer material; c) adding one or more solar control components to the reaction mixtures while the polymer material is being formed, the solar control components selected from the group consisting of molybdenum dibutyl phosphate, hydroxyl phenyl benzotriazole, organometallic tungsten dyes, lanthanum hexaboride (LaB 6 ) nanosized particles, and combinations thereof; and d) curing the reaction mixture to adhere the two piles together with a degree of adhesion in the range of 1 pound to 10 pounds per lineal inch, wherein the laminated window has a visible light transmittance of at least 70% and haze no greater than 0.5%, and wherein the reaction mixture forms an interlayer between the two plies.
