Abstract

An impact resistant transparent laminate that includes as one ply a special urethane-modified acrylic sheet containing a vinyl-functional polyurethane elastomer that is a polymerization product of an aliphatic diisocyanate, one or more hydroxyl-functional polyether or polyester prepolymers, and a hydroxyl or amine-functional vinyl monomer. In a three-ply embodiment of the invention, the urethane modified acrylic sheet serves as the back ply, a hard plastic sheet formed of a material like cast acrylic serves as the front ply, and a thin sheet having high elongation such as polyurethane serves as an intermediate ply. In a five-ply embodiment of the invention, the laminate further includes a second thin sheet having high elongation disposed immediately behind the urethane-modified acrylic ply and a ductile plastic sheet formed of a material like polycarbonate to serve as its back ply.
