Abstract
Abstract Energy-absorbing laminates for use as automobile windshields or other safety glass applications comprising a polycarbonate urethane and a sheet of glass are disclosed. The polyurethane is formed from a cycloaliphatic diisocyanate, a compound containing at least two active hydrogens per molecule and having a molecular weight below 250, and a special polycarbonate diol synthesized from a mixture of linear aliphatic and cycloaliphatic diols.

Claim 2
Dependent Claim
95 words
A safety glass laminate comprising: a. a ply of glass; and b. bonded to said ply of glass a ply of transparent, energy absorbing polyurethane which is the reaction product of: (1) an organic diisocyanate: (2) an organic compound having two isocyanate-reactive hydrogens and a molecular weight less than about 250; and (3) a polycarbonate diol prepared from a mixture of linear aliphatic and cycloaliphatic diols wherein the aliphatic diol has at least 4 carbon atoms comprising (a) at least 30 mole percent linear aliphatic diol and (b) at least 10 mole percent cycloaliphatic diol.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
