MUMBAI, India, June 24 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202617061747 A) filed by Mitsubishi Chemical Uk Limited on May 15, 2026, for Interleavant Particles For Location Between Glass Sheets.

Inventors include Chisholm, Michael Stephen; and Stenson, Philip Andrew.

The application for the patent was published on June 12, 2026, under issue no. 24/2026.

Abstract: Interleavant particles for location between adjacent stacked glass sheets are described. The interleavant particles comprise an organic polymer core with an outer coating comprising rosin. The organic polymer core has a softening point greater than 60°C, a solubility in water of less than 2 g/L and a volumetric mass density less than 1.6 g/cm3. A composition, methods of producing the particles and stacking glass sheets, use of the particles to space the glass sheets and a stack of glass sheets are described. In one method, a solid organic polymer core and a solid outer coating material are combined by high shear mixing wherein the outer coating material has a lower melting point than the core material and the high shear mixing is effective to melt the outer coating material and to effect coating thereof onto the solid organic polymer core.
