Abstract:
A silicone composition comprising at least one organohydrogenpolysiloxane having an average of at least two silicon-bonded hydrogen atoms per molecule, a cross-linking agent having an average of at least two aliphatic carbon-carbon double bonds per molecule, and a hydrosilylation catalyst; a silicone adhesive comprising a cured product of at least one oganohydrogenpolysiloxane; and a coated substrate and a laminated substrate, each comprising the silicone adhesive.
Abstract:
A transparent assembly locatable in a building surface having a rebate is described. The assembly has a transparent panel and one or more high tensile strength flexible material reinforcement pieces extending laterally from the panel to provide non-rigid attachment of the assembly to a subframe and/or wall, wherein the attachment allows movement of the assembly within the rebate. By direct but non-rigid attachment of the transparent assembly, generally a window, to the subframe and/or wall, any weakness in the impact-resistance of the assembly because of weakness and/or damage to the frame is avoided. The non-rigid nature of the attachment allows it to absorb much of the blast loading. This allows a large load on the transparent assembly to be supported by the subframe and/or wall. The present invention also provides a number of ballistic-resistant and blast-resistant assemblies providing protection against much higher levels of protection from high velocity weapons and explosives.
Abstract:
A composite article includes a first pane comprising a first window layer formed from a vitreous material and a reinforced silicone layer disposed adjacent to and in contact with the first window layer. The reinforced silicone layer includes a cured silicone composition and a fiber reinforcement. The composite article includes a second pane spaced from the first pane to define a gap therebetween and a frame disposed adjacent to and in contact with the first pane and the second pane to enclose the gap. The composite article may be suitable for load-bearing applications requiring thermal and acoustic insulation.
Abstract:
A bonded vehicular glass assembly utilizes a two-component urethane adhesive to attach an attachment member at a glass panel to form a joint suitable for use on a vehicle. The attachment member may be a hinge, or a latch, or the like. Related methods of forming and of attaching components to glass are disclosed.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a special array of materials located on the periphery of a glass armored composition (BRG), with the purpose of having a controlled deformation zone being able to absorb residual energy of impacts made on the edge of the armored piece, therefore providing an effective retention of the projectile and of the glass fragments generated by the impact. The invention provides superior ballistic protection for BRGs destined for automobile applications, for fixed and mobile pieces.
Abstract:
A glass sandwich plate comprises a spacer arrangement (12) disposed between two glass panes (10, 11) and formed as a continuous unit from a 0.2 mm thick aluminum sheet by punching and deforming such that webs (18) are formed which extend at different angles with respect to the glass panes. The webs (18) extend between plane connecting areas (17) at which the spacer arrangement (12) is glued to the glass panes (10, 11) by means of a radiation curable acrylate or epoxide adhesive. With this structure, the sandwich plate has a high breaking strength at low weight and is suitably used for sight and sun protection.

Abstract:
The present invention has an object to provide a flat panel display which employs a high-strength glass material to realize a reduction in thickness and weight. The flat panel display includes two substrates SUB1 and SUB2 and a light emitter PMG provided between the two substrates. At least one of the two substrates is made of glass material containing SiO2 as its main component and 1 to 20 wt % of at least one selected from La, Sc, Y, Ce, Pr, Nd, Pm, Sm, Eu, Gd, Tb, Dy, Ho, Er, Tm, Yb, and Lu.
Abstract:

According to the present invention, there is provided an image display panel including, two glass substrates and a light-emitting part provided between these glass substrates,
Abstract:
A functional safety glazing unit successively including: a first rigid substrate, a second rigid substrate, a third rigid, semi-rigid or flexible substrate, and at least one active system including at least one layer and placed between the first and second substrates or between the second and third substrates. The third substrate is set back with respect to the other two substrates. Further, at least one polymer film having the function of retaining splinters in the event of breakage of the glazing unit is placed between the first substrate and the second substrate and/or between the second substrate and the third substrate and/or forms part of the third substrate.
