Abstract:
A method for manufacturing a motor vehicle roof incorporating a glazing, in which at least one opacifying layer of ink(s), in particular at least one layer of colored ink(s), is applied by digital printing, in particular by inkjet, over at least 40% of the surface of one of the faces of at least one glass sheet, such that the composition of said ink(s) includes at least one glass frit, and where applicable one or more inorganic pigment(s), with a D90 value for the particle size distribution of less than 2 μm, and such that the ink(s) have a viscosity of between 1 and 50 mPa·s, the ink(s) further including a non-stick agent and/or a non-stick component and/or at least one non-stick agent and/or at least one non-stick layer being further applied to at least one layer of ink(s) and/or to at least one glass sheet.
Abstract:
The present disclosure relates to fusion formable highly crystalline glass-ceramic articles whose composition lies within the SiO2—R2O3—Li2O/Na2O—TiO2 system and which contain a silicate crystalline phase comprised of lithium aluminosilicate (β-spodumene and/or β-quartz solid solution) lithium metasilicate and/or lithium disilicate. Additionally, these silicate-crystal containing glass-ceramics can exhibit varying Na2O to Li2O molar ratio extending from the surface to the bulk of the glass article, particularly a decreasing Li2O concentration and an increasing Na2O concentration from surface to bulk. According to a second embodiment, disclosed herein is a method for forming a silicate crystalline phase-containing glass ceramic.
Abstract:
A method is provided for producing a glass or glass ceramic article that includes: providing a sheet-like glass or glass ceramic substrate having two opposite faces, which in the visible spectral range from 380 nm to 780 nm exhibits light transmittance of at least 1% for visible light that passes from one face to the opposite face; providing an opaque coating on one face where the coating exhibits light transmittance of not more than 5% in the visible spectral range from 380 nm to 780 nm; and directing a pulsed laser beam onto the opaque coating and locally removing the coating by ablation down to the surface of the glass or glass ceramic article, repeatedly at different locations, thereby producing a pattern of a multitude of openings defining a perforated area in the opaque coating, so that the opaque coating becomes semi-transparent in the area.
Abstract:
The disclosure is directed to a chemically strengthened glass having antimicrobial properties and to a method of making such glass. In particular, the disclosure is directed to a chemically strengthened glass with antimicrobial properties and with a low surface energy coating on the glass that does not interfere with the antimicrobial properties of the glass. The antimicrobial has an Ag ion concentration on the surface in the range of greater than zero to 0.047 μg/cm2. The glass has particular applications as antimicrobial shelving, table tops and other applications in hospitals, laboratories and other institutions handling biological substances, where color in the glass is not a consideration.

Abstract:
Borosilicate glasses are disclosed having (in weight %) 66-76% SiO2, 0-8% Al2O3, 10-18% B2O3, 0-4% Li2O, 0-12% Na2O, 0-12% K2O, 1-1.5% Ag, 1.5-2.5% Cl− and 0.01-0.06% of a summed amount of CuO and NiO, wherein the glass composition is bleachable upon exposure to ultraviolet irradiation from a stable state color or shade to a lighter color or shade. Such reverse photochromic borosilicate glass compositions may be thermally darkenable. The borosilicate glasses may be strengthened via ion-exchange strengthening treatment. The borosilicate glasses may retain their reverse photochromic and thermally darkenable properties even after ion-exchange strengthening treatment.

Abstract:
A glass ceramic precursor glass and a glass ceramic having low levels of rhodium and a method of controlling the amount of rhodium in such glasses and glass ceramics. The precursor glass and glass ceramic contain from about 1 ppm to about 10 ppm and, in certain embodiments, from about 1 ppm to about 6 ppm rhodium. The method of controlling of reducing rhodium dissolution from a rhodium-containing material such as, for example, an alloy into a glass melt comprises controlling and/or lowering the partial pressure of oxygen at the rhodium-containing vessel/glass interface by imposing a high humidity condition around the external (non-glass-contact) surface of the rhodium-containing material. The lower concentration of rhodium minimizes its coloring effect on the white color of the glass ceramic.
