Claims
- 1. An interlayer film for use in an optical laminate, the optical laminate having a haze value of less than 4% at a film thickness of 125 to 1000 mcm, comprising a film of at least one substantially linear low density polyolefin, having a polydispersity index of less than 3.5, a density from about 0.850 to 0.905 g/ccm and less than 20%, by weight, crystallinity, laminated to at least one film of ethylene vinyl acetate copolymer.
- 2. The interlayer film of claim 1, further comprising a nucleation agent in an amount of from about 0.05% to about 2.0% by weight of the interlayer film; and a crosslinking agent in the amount of from about 0.05% to about 2% by weight of the interlayer film.
- 3. The interlayer film of claim 1 further comprising a UV-light absorber in an amount of from about 0.1% to about 1.5% weight of the interlayer film.
- 4. The interlayer film of claim 1, further comprising additives selected from the group consisting of colorizing agents and IR-light blockers.
- 5. The interlayer film of claim 1, further comprising a coupling agent in an amount of from about 0.2% to about 2.0% by weight of the interlayer film.
- 6. The interlayer film of claim 1, comprising a film of a metallocene catalyzed linear low density polyethylene; a nucleation agent in an amount of from about 0.01% to about 2.0%, by weight; and a crosslinking agent in the amount of from about 0.05% to 2%, by weight, of the interlayer film.
- 7. An optical laminate comprising at least one layer consisting of the interlayer film of claim 1.
- 8. The optical laminate of claim 7, wherein the optical laminate is a safety glass.
- 9. The optical laminate of claim 8, wherein the optical laminate is selected from the group consisting of windshields for automobiles, trains, ships, boats and other transportation vehicles, sound screens, and window and door glass for buildings and architectural structures.
- 10. An optical laminate comprising at least one layer of the interlayer film of claim 1, wherein the optical laminate has a haze value of no more than 2% at a film thickness of 125 to 1,000 mcm, and the polyolefin has a polydispersity index of less than 2.5, a density of less than 0.880 g/ccm and a crystallinity less than 15%, by weight.
- 11. An optical laminate comprising at least one layer of the interlayer film of claim 1, wherein the optical laminate has a haze value of no more than 1% at a film thickness of 125 to 1,000 mcm, and the polyolefin has a polydispersity index of less than 2.5, a density of less than 0.880 g/ccm and a crystallinity less than 10%, by weight.
