Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 6
Claim 1
Independent Claim 34 words
A polyvinylbutyral interlayer printed with an ink formulation comprising a dye, a solvent medium and a polyvinyl formal in an amount sufficient to reduce blocking between polyvinyl butyral sheets printed using such a formulation.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 34 words
A polyvinylbutyral interlayer printed with an ink formulation comprising a dye, a solvent medium and a polyvinyl formal in an amount sufficient to reduce blocking between polyvinyl butyral sheets printed using such a formulation.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 82 words
A polyvinyl butyral interlayer printed with a printing ink formulation having a Shell #3 cup viscosity of from 15 to 50 seconds and comprising from 3 to 10 percent by weight of the ink base of a polyvinyl formal having a number average molecular weight of from 15,000 to 40,000 and an acetate content of from 8 to 35 percent by weight, measured as vinyl acetate, and a hydroxyl content of from 2 to 10 percent by weight measured as vinyl alcohol.
