Claim 11

The coating composition of claim 8, in which the weight proportion of the (d) ingredient, based on 100 parts of the solids of the film composition, is about 4.5 to about 6 parts.

Claim 12

A transparent glass window pane having solar controlled properties comprising a transparent glass pane to one surface of which is adhered a thin, flexible transparent solar control sheet material according to claim 1.

Claim 13

In a thin, flexible transparent solar control sheet material adapted for use as a covering for transparent glass surfaces comprising an optically clear flexible polymeric film backing having on one surface a transparent reflective metal coating, the improvement which comprises, on that side of the sheet which bears the metal coating, a thin transparent aqueous activatable adhesive film composition comprising a major proportion of (a) an alkyl monoester of poly (methyl vinyl ether maleic acid) resin, and minor proportions of (b) at least one silane selected from the group consisting of beta-3,4 (epoxycyclohexyl) ethyltrimethoxysilane and gamma-glycidoxypropyltrimethoxysilane, (c) 2,4,7,9-tetramethyl-5-decyn-4, 7-diol, and (d) 4 dendro phenol, said 4 dendro phenol being present in an effective amount but insufficient to cause blocking when said sheets are packaged in rolls, and a thin film of a substrate which comprises a copolymer of acrylic acid or methacrylic acid or an ester of acrylic acid or methacrylic acid, said latter substrate being disposed between said metal coating and said thin transparent aqueous activatable adhesive film composition.

Claim 14

In a thin, flexible transparent solar control sheet material adapted for use as a covering for transparent glass surfaces comprising an optically clear flexible polymeric film backing having on one surface a transparent reflective metal coating, the improvement which comprises, on that side of the sheet which bears the metal coating, a thin transparent aqueous activatable adhesive film composition comprising a major proportion of (a) an alkyl monoester of poly (methyl vinyl ether maleic acid) resin, and minor proportions of (b) at least one silane selected from the group consisting of beta-3,4 (epoxycyclohexyl) ethyltrimethoxysilane and gamma-glycidoxypropyltrimethoxysilane, (c) 2,4,7,9-tetramethyl-5-decyn-4, 7-diol, and (d) 4 dendro phenol, said 4 dendro phenol being present in an effective amount but insufficient to cause blocking when said sheets are packaged in rolls, and a thin film of a substrate which comprises a copolymer of acrylic acid or methacrylic acid or an ester of acrylic acid or methacrylic acid, said latter substrate being disposed between said metal coating and said thin transparent aqueous activatable adhesive film composition.
