Abstract
A polymer interlayer having improved sound insulation is disclosed. The polymer interlayer comprises at least one soft layer wherein the soft layer comprises: a first poly(vinyl butyral) resin having a first residual hydroxyl content and a first glass transition temperature (Tg); a second poly(vinyl butyral) resin having a second residual hydroxyl content and a second glass transition temperature (Tg), wherein the difference between the first residual hydroxyl content and the second residual hydroxyl content is at least 1.0 weight percent; wherein the difference between the first glass transition temperature (Tg) the second glass transition temperature (Tg) is at least 1.5° C.; and a plasticizer; at least one stiffer layer comprising a third poly(vinyl butyral resin) having a third residual hydroxyl content; and a plasticizer, wherein the polymer interlayer has a damping loss factor (η) (as measured by Mechanical Impedance Measurement according to ISO 16940) of at least about 0.16 measured at two or more different temperatures selected from 10° C., 20° C. and 30° C.
