A heat mirror film containing visible light-transmissive and infrared
reflective film comprising a birefringent dielectric multilayer support
that reflects at least 50% of light in a band at least 100 nm wide in a
wavelength region of interest, a metal or metal alloy layer whose
thickness is such that the film is visible light-transmissive and its
reflection band is broadened, and a crosslinked polymeric layer has
improved infrared reflecting properties. The film can be joined or
laminated into glazing (especially non-planar vehicular safety glazing)
with reduced likelihood that the metal or metal alloy layer will be
damaged or distorted.
