Definitions
- the present invention relates, in general to a soundproof glass unit comprising an insulating glazing and viscoelastic adhesive strips for mounting the insulting glazing in a framework and mounting the framework in an opening of a building frame.
- the viscoelastic adhesive strips provide an acoustic seal between the insulating glazing and the framework, the framework and the building frame, respectively.
- Bonding an insulated glazing into a building structure often requires cleaning the surface of the framework housing the insulating glazing to remove contaminants, applying a primer to the area of the framework to which an adhesive is to be applied and then applying the adhesive generally to the periphery of the framework. Thereafter, the insulated glazing with the adhesive applied thereto is placed into a building frame in an opening of a building structure with the adhesive disposed between the building frame and framework housing the insulating glazing and the adhesive is cured to hold the insulated glazing in place.
- the conventional practice of mounting an insulated glazing is cumbersome, time consuming and is often done by unskilled labors often necessitating additional bonding, caulking etc.
- windows are one of the main causes of heat loss in cold weather and glass being a rigid, inelastic material is a bad conductor of sound and therefore reflects noise.
- a traditional single pane window does relatively little to actually prevent noise from entering the home.
- Adjusting thickness of the glass panes, adding interlayers between the glazing and increasing spacing between the glazing panels are some of the known ways of achieving acoustic benefits. While these approaches are very effective, prices associated with them are relatively huge.
- Acoustically effective coatings and foams are used for vibration damping and noise damping of sounds transmitted through windows in a building.
- Apartments, condominiums, hotels, schools and hospitals all require rooms with windows that reduce the transmission of sound thereby minimizing, or eliminating, the disturbance to people in adjacent rooms.
- Soundproofing is particularly important in buildings adjacent to public transportation, such as highways, airports and railroad lines.
- theaters, home theaters, music practice rooms, recording studios and the like require increased noise abatement.
- acoustic benefit has been widely recognized as a measure of acoustic comfort which results in comfort living.
- the document CN 106 401 423 A discloses a soundproof window and window frame. Solutions that describe sound damping by way of the configuration of the insulated glazing bonding system have therefore already been described in the patent literature.
- the document US7041377 relates to sound insulating members exhibiting both high vibration damping performance and high sound insulation performance.
- the invention proposes the use of vibration damping materials such as chlorine-containing thermoplastic resins containing 20 to 70 wt. % of chlorine to be formed into sheets, films, plates, bars, blocks or the like and affixing transparent rigid members onto the vibration damping materials. The resulting assembly maybe affixed to an existing window glass plate.
- the present invention therefore proposes a soundproof glass unit comprising:
- the viscoelastic adhesive strip comprising sound damping copolymers for mounting a glazing unit in a framework and thereon mounting the framework in a building frame permits involving less labor, time and skill with regard to the conventional manner of installing glazing units and an inexpensive, simple and effective way of providing an acoustically improved glazing unit.
- the sound damping copolymers in the viscoelastic adhesive strip of the present invention reduces vibration and noise disturbances in a building window, permitting an acoustically and mechanically improvement.
- the invention further proposes a method for mounting a glass unit.
- the objective of the present invention is therefore to provide a soundproof glass unit, that is efficient more particularly at low frequency (about 100 Hz) and high frequency located at 'dip' of around 1000 Hz, using viscoelastic adhesive strips as an alternative or complimentary to the existing means of bonding and sealing the insulating glazing unit.
- the soundproof glass unit comprises at least one insulating glazing unit to be mounted in a framework and at least one viscoelastic adhesive strip which is attached to at least one of the flanges of the insulating glazing and that comprises at least one component made of sound damping copolymers, having a loss factor greater than 1.6 at a temperature at least in the range of -10° C to +70° C and at a frequency of 100Hz.
- the glass transition temperature of the sound damping copolymers varies between -20°C and +25°C.
- the glass transition temperature and loss factor of the sound damping copolymers are measured using differential calorimetry analysis according to the ISO 11357-1:2009 standard.
- coincidence dip a phenomenon that limits the improved reduction in noise occurs due to a 'dip' in performance at certain frequencies. This is referred to as coincidence dip.
- the coincidence dip is dependent on the material's stiffness and thickness and occurs at a point where the sound transmitted through the insulating glass unit matches the natural frequency of the glass panes. This phenomenon occurs at higher frequencies in glass.
- Using absorptive material to cover the surface of the framework in between the panes of glass provides additional attenuation. This increases the Sound Transmission Class (STC) rating that describes the acoustical capabilities of a window and substantial reductions are achieved for higher frequency noise of up to 10 dB.
- STC Sound Transmission Class
- the inventors of the present invention have demonstrated that the combination of a viscoelastic adhesive strip with the insulating glazing unit in order to dissipate noise is even more effective when the material of the strip has sound damping properties (which is linked to the loss factor) and especially when the strip is rigid (which is linked to the Young's modulus of the material or materials constituting the strip) in order to ensure contribution to window acoustics.
- the viscoelastic adhesive strip is arranged on each of the flanges of the insulating glazing unit or on each of the profiles of the framework. It preferably extends over most of the length of flanges of the insulating glazing unit and/or most of the length of the profiles of the framework.
- the geometry of the strip can be adapted to the shape of the glazing or the framework, accordingly.
- the viscoelastic adhesive strip could thus have a conventional rectangular shape, or a more complex shape such as a trapezium, for example.
- the strips applied over the flanges or the framework are provided either in a continuous or a discontinuous manner to cover the length of the flanges or framework, respectively.
- the strips seal or bond the insulating glazing unit in the framework and further seal and bond the insulated glazing unit (comprising the insulating glazing unit mounted within the framework) to a building frame that is arranged in an opening of a building.
- the mounted glazing and framework seldom require additional sealants or adhesive for bonding and/or caulking.
- the viscoelastic adhesive strip can be arranged in the vicinity of the edge or at the edge of the flanges of the insulating glazing unit and/or arranged in the vicinity of the edge or at the edge of the profiles of the framework.
- the strips do not contribute to sealing of the insulating glazing unit within the framework or caulking/ bonding of the framework on a building frame, respectively but rather necessitate the use of conventional sealants or caulking agents for establishing the seal or bond, while contributing particularly to the acoustic properties of the glass unit.
- the viscoelastic adhesive strip can comprise a plurality of components made from the sound damping copolymers.
- flanges of the insulating glazing unit and/or profiles of the framework may comprise viscoelastic adhesive strips that comprise the same sound damping copolymers or a combination of different sound damping copolymers.
- the viscoelastic adhesive strip comprises at least one sound damping copolymer selected from the group consisting of vinyl acetate-olefin copolymer; terpolymers of vinyl acetate, olefin & vinyl ester monomer; terpolymers of vinyl acetate, vinyl ester & (meth)acrylate monomer; copolymer of vinyl acetate & acrylic monomer; or acrylic ester-styrene copolymer or their combinations thereof.
- sound damping copolymer selected from the group consisting of vinyl acetate-olefin copolymer; terpolymers of vinyl acetate, olefin & vinyl ester monomer; terpolymers of vinyl acetate, vinyl ester & (meth)acrylate monomer; copolymer of vinyl acetate & acrylic monomer; or acrylic ester-styrene copolymer or their combinations thereof.
- the insulating glazing mounted in the framework is to be housed in a building frame with the strips being hidden from view.
- the framework according to the present invention further comprises a sash.
- Another objective of the present invention is a method for mounting the glass unit in a building opening with an objective of reducing the acoustic and vibrational disturbances in the building, the method comprising attaching to the flanges of the insulating glazing or the profile of the framework housing the insulating glazing at least one viscoelastic adhesive strip and mounting the insulating glazing in the framework or the framework in an opening of a building frame using the viscoelastic adhesive strips to form an acoustic seal between the insulating glazing and the framework or between the framework and the building frame.
- the viscoelastic adhesive strip being a double-sided adhesive tape is compatible in bonding to the surfaces of the flanges of the glazing, profiles of the framework, as well as the surface of the building frame. Thus requiring no additional adhesives for establishing the sealing, bonding and/or caulking of the glass unit.
- Embodiments disclosed herein are related to viscoelastic adhesive strips that enable mounting of an insulating glazing in a framework and thereon the framework in a building frame present in an opening of a building structure to provide a soundproof glass unit.
- FIG. 1 illustrates an insulating glazing 10 equipped with at least one viscoelastic adhesive strip 50 of the present invention, according to one embodiment of the present invention.
- the insulating glazing 10 shown here is double glazed and therefore comprises two sheets of glass 11, but in alternate embodiments, it could comprise two or more glass sheets separated by spacers placed circumferentially between the glass sheets.
- the circumferential edges of the insulating glazing 10 are defined by flanges 12a, 12b, 12c and 12d.
- the insulating glazing 10 is intended to be to be mounted in a framework 20 formed by a pair of left and right longitudinal profiles 20a, 20b, and an upper transverse profile 20c and a lower transverse profile 20d.
- the upper transverse profile 20c and lower transverse profile 20d are connected to the longitudinal profiles 20a, 20b at upper and lower positions of the longitudinal profiles, respectively.
- the at least one viscoelastic adhesive strip 50 is positioned, preferably on each of the flanges 12a, 12b, 12c and 12d as illustrated in FIG. 1 , where the viscoelastic adhesive strip 50 is seen to be positioned on the flange 12b of the insulating glazing such that while mounting the viscoelastic adhesive strip 50 is positioned between the flange 12b and the right longitudinal profile 20b of the framework 20.
- Cross-sectional view of the embodiment described in FIG. 1 is shown in FIG. 2 .
- the insulating glazing 10 further comprises a marginal part 13 that is present a little away from the circumferential edges of the insulating glazing 10 and delimited by a dotted line shown in FIG. 1A .
- the marginal part 13 is known to abut the profiles of the framework 20 while the insulating glazing 10 is mounted in the framework 20.
- the viscoelastic adhesive strip 50 is seen to be provided in the space between the circumferential edges of the flanges and the marginal part 13.
- a cross-section view of the said embodiment is illustrated in FIG. 2A .
- the at least on viscoelastic adhesive strip 50 comprises at least one sound damping copolymer.
- the sound damping copolymer has a loss factor greater than 1.6 at a temperature at least in the range of -10 °C to +70 °C and at a frequency of 100Hz.
- This frequency of 100Hz is advantageous, as the frequencies to be conserved in general in windows ranges from 125 to 4000 Hz, and at higher frequencies the phenomena of the coincidence dip occurs in glass. It is around this frequency of 100Hz that the transmission of noise from outside the building through the glass unit is the most significant and is expressed as pronounced drop in the acoustics.
- the invention therefore relates more particularly to this frequency in order to improve the viscoelastic damping of the glass unit.
- the sound damping copolymer present in the viscoelastic strip 50 is selected from the group of copolymers consisting of vinyl acetate-olefin copolymer; terpolymers of vinyl acetate, olefin & vinyl ester monomer; terpolymers of vinyl acetate, vinyl ester & (meth)acrylate monomer and copolymer of vinyl acetate & acrylic monomer.
- the copolymers of vinyl acetate and olefin have a glass transition temperature that varies from -10°C to +25°C.
- the sound damping copolymer is acrylic ester-styrene copolymers, a high solids aqueous dispersion, which have a glass transition temperature that varies from -20 to 10°C.
- the copolymer of vinyl acetate & acrylic monomer has a total solid content of 57% and a viscosity of 2250 mPa.s.
- the acrylic ester-styrene copolymer is a high solids aqueous dispersion of acrylic ester and styrene.
- the dispersion contains an anionic emulsifier system and is free from film forming aids, solvents, plasticizers, and ammonia.
- the acrylic ester-styrene copolymer has a glass transition temperature of -11°C.
- the viscoelastic adhesive strip 50 (also referred as strip 50), according to one embodiment is a double-sided adhesive tape with a first bonding face 51 to be attached to the flanges 12 of the insulating glazing 10 and a second bonding face 52 which is to be attached to the profiles of the framework 20, according to the embodiment illustrated in FIG. 1 .
- the first and second bonding faces 51, 52 of the viscoelastic adhesive strip 50 can further comprise a first liner 53 and a second liner 54, respectively.
- the first liner 53 and second liner 54 are peelably attached to the first and second bonding faces, respectively and are peeled before use of the viscoelastic adhesive strip 50. According to the embodiment illustrated in FIG.
- the first liner 53 is peeled away before attaching the first bonding face 51 to the flanges 12 of the insulating glazing 10 and just before the insulating glazing 10 is ready to be mounted in the framework 20, the second liner 54 is peeled away from the second bonding face 52.
- the self-adhesive property of the viscoelastic adhesive strip 50 of the present invention eliminates the use of other additional sealants for bonding the insulating glazing 10 to the framework 20.
- the viscoelastic adhesive strip 50 can be applied on the flanges 12 in a continuous manner as illustrated in FIG. 1 . However, in other alternate embodiments, the viscoelastic adhesive strip 50 can also be applied in a discontinuous manner.
- the viscoelastic adhesive strips 50 are provided in a discontinuous manner in each of the flanges 12a, 12b, 12c and 12d of the insulating glazing 10.

- the strips 50 are provided only on the four edges of the flanges 12 of the insulating glazing 10.
- the strips 50 are provided only centrally on the flanges 12 in a discontinuous manner.
- additional sealants for bonding of the insulating glazing 10 to the framework 20 can be employed in these embodiments. These sealants may be used in the space between the strips 50.
- the strips 50 provided on all the flanges 12 of the insulating glazing 10 can be those that are comprised of the same sound damping copolymers listed earlier or can use a combination of strips 50 that are made from different copolymers.
- all the viscoelastic strips 50 are made from acrylic ester-styrene copolymer.
- the strips 50 provided on the flanges 12d, 12c can be comprised of one of the copolymers while the strips 50 provided on the flanges 12a, 12b can be comprised from another copolymer different from that present in the strips 50 provided in the flanges 12c, 12d.
- the upper and the flanges are provided with viscoelastic strips 50 comprising acrylic ester-styrene copolymer while the left and right flanges are provided with viscoelastic strips 50 comprising vinyl ester & (meth)acrylate monomer.

- each of the left, right, upper and lower transversal profiles 20a, 20b, 20c, 20d are applied with the viscoelastic adhesive strips 50 by bonding either its first bonding face 51 or second bonding face 52.
- the at least one viscoelastic adhesive strip 50 can be applied either in a discontinuous manner or in a continuous manner such that the strips 50 are overlaid on each of the profiles 20a, 20b, 20c, 20d of the framework 20.
- the at least one viscoelastic adhesive strip 50 comprising one or more sound damping copolymers is cut-to-size before being applied on the profiles of the framework 20.

- the viscoelastic strips 50 are made from a blend of ester-styrene copolymer, vinyl ester & (meth)acrylate monomer.
- FIG. 3 illustrates yet another embodiment of the present invention, wherein the viscoelastic adhesive strips 50 are provided both on the framework 20 holding the insulating glazing 10 as well as the building frame 120 present in the wall opening 110.
- the viscoelastic adhesive strips 50 can be seen to be provided on the upper and right longitudinal profiles 12c, 12b; left and bottom portion of the building frame 120. Reverse of such an arrangement is also envisioned within the scope of this present invention, in order to establish the mounting and bonding of the framework 20 holding the glazing unit 10 on the building frame 120.
- the viscoelastic adhesive strips 50 are attached to the building frame 120 instead of being provided on the framework 20 holding the insulating glazing 10.
- the building frame 120 are conventionally made of wood.
- the building frame 120 can be one that is made of any such material as vinyl, aluminum, fiberglass, steel, PVC etc.,
- the height and width of the building frame 120 in the opening 110 of the wall 100 mirrors the structural dimension of the framework 20.
- the building frame 120 in general comprises a groove for receiving the framework 20 of the insulating glazing 10.
- the viscoelastic adhesive strips 50 of the present invention are provided with.
- the viscoelastic adhesive strips 50 are present in a tape roll such that the strip 50 is cut-to-size before being attached to the groove of the building frame 120 through either one of their bonding faces.
- the viscoelastic adhesive strips 50 are found to be protruding out from the building frame 120 as illustrated in FIG. 4 post attaching the strips to the building frames 120.
- the portions of the strips 50 extending outward can be trimmed or cut in order to get a seamless aesthetically appealing finish to the sound proof glass unit thus installed.
- Cross-section view of the same is depicted in FIG. 5 .
- the method of mounting an insulating glazing 10 comprises the following steps: attaching the at least one viscoelastic adhesive strip 50 entirely or partially to the insulating glazing 10 or to the framework 20 via the first bonding face 51 of the at least one viscoelastic adhesive strip 50 and mounting the insulating glazing 10 in the framework 20 or the framework 20 in an opening 110 of a building frame 120 via the second bonding face 52 of the at least one viscoelastic adhesive strip 50 to form an acoustic seal between the insulating glazing 10 and the framework 20 or between the framework 20 and the building frame 120.
- the first liner 53 from the first bonding face 51 is removed before attaching the at least one viscoelastic adhesive strip 50 to the insulated glazing 10 or to the framework 20 and/or the second liner 54 from the second bonding face 52 is removed before mounting the insulating glazing 10 to the framework 20 or the framework 20 to the building frame 120.
- At least one viscoelastic adhesive strip 50 of the present invention reduces time, skill and complexity associated with the conventional means of mounting insulated glazing units and further provides an equally simple means of obtaining a soundproof acoustically improved glazing unit.
- Loss factor of the sound damping copolymers viz., copolymer of vinyl acetate & acrylic monomer (VN) and acrylic ester-styrene copolymer (AE) prepared according to the present invention was compared against carboxylated styrene-butadiene copolymer (SB) and acrylic/PU copolymer (R) available in market place.
- the measurements were carried out at a fixed temperature for changing frequency values (plotted in FIG. 6 ) and at a fixed frequency for changing temperature ranges (plotted in FIG. 7 ). Such kind of measurements are critical for studying damping properties.
- the polymers were held at a fixed temperature (20°C) and tested at varying frequencies. Peaks in tan ⁇ and in E" with respect to the frequency is associated with the glass transition, that corresponds to the ability of the polymer chains to move past each other. This implies that the glass transition is dependent on strain rate in addition to the temperature. Secondary transitions may as well be observed. Likewise, the polymers were held at a constant low frequency (100 Hz) and tested at varying temperatures. A prominent peak in tan ⁇ appears at the glass transition temperature of the polymer. Secondary transitions can also be observed that attribute to the temperature-dependent activation of a wide variety of chain motions. In the case of semi-crystalline polymers, separate transitions can be observed for the crystalline form and the amorphous form. Similarly, multiple transitions are often found in polymer blends.
- the invention has application to a wide variety of framed structures in addition to the insulated glazing illustrated, for example windows of buildings and vehicles.
- the invention is described for mounting insulating glazing, the application of the invention also extends to mounting monolithic glazing in framework and thereon the framework in the building frame.
- the use of the invention for mounting of frameless glazing units are also envisioned within the scope of this present invention.
- Viscoelastic adhesive strips composed of sound damping polymers may also be used as replacements for traditional sealants used in insulating glazing units and caulking or bonding adhesives used in frame bonding during installation and renovation activities.
