Abstract:
The invention relates to the use of a coating comprising at least one fatty-acid modified resin as an anti-fingerprint coating on a least one face of a glass sheet. In particular, the invention allows to provide an anti-fingerprint solution to be used for a glass sheet, which does not significantly affect the surface properties and the aesthetics of the coated glass compared to the naked glass. Moreover, the invention allows to provide an anti-fingerprint solution to be used for a glass sheet, which is sustainable in time and/or wearing of the surface.
Abstract:
A process for depositing an inorganic material on a substrate, the process comprising, providing a substrate having a surface, providing a precursor mixture comprising a metal sulfonate, and delivering the precursor mixture to the surface of the substrate, wherein the surface of the substrate is at a substrate temperature of above 450 °C and is sufficient to effect decomposition of the metal sulfonate. The inorganic material may include a metal or a metal oxide. The preferred metal sulfonate is metal triflate.
Abstract:
A method for printing ink on a substrate comprising the steps of coating a glass substrate with an adhesion promoter, depositing a first layer of ink on the coated substrate, depositing a second layer of ink over the first layer of ink, and depositing a powder coating onto the second layer of ink. The substrate can be a glass substrate, and the adhesion promoter can include a silane material or powder coating on the substrate.
Abstract:
A method is provided for metallisation of non-conductive substrates providing a high adhesion of the deposited metal to the substrate material and thereby forming a durable bond. The method applies a novel combination of a metal oxide compound to promote adhesion and a transition metal plating catalyst compound promoting the metal layer formation.
Abstract:
A window assembly comprises a first conductive material layer, an electrochromic stack, a second conductive material layer and a seal. The first conductive material layer is formed on a substrate and comprises at least two zones electrically isolated from each other. The electrochromic stack is formed on a first selected zone of the first conductive material layer to overlap an edge of a second selected zone of the first conductive material layer. The second conductive material layer is formed on the electrochromic stack to overlap an edge of the second selected zone. A first bus bar is formed on the second selected zone to be within a sealed volume of the window assembly. A second bus bar is formed on the first selected zone to be outside the seal volume of the window assembly. The seal defines the sealed volume of the window assembly and seals the window assembly.
Abstract:
A fiberglass material contains glass fibers having graphite evenly distributed thereon. The graphite provides a coating that makes the fiberglass material substantially free of static electricity. Suitable graphite content of the fiberglass material is about 0.25 wt% to about 0.50 wt%, or about 0.25 wt% to about 1.0 wt%, or about 0.8 wt% of dry weight of the glass fibers. The graphite used may be synthetic material or natural material substantially free of silica. Other components of the fiberglass material may include de-dusting oil.
Abstract:
A coated article is provided with at least one infrared (IR) reflecting layer. The IR reflecting layer may be of silver or the like. In certain example embodiments, a titanium oxide layer is provided over the IR reflecting layer, and it has been found that this surprisingly results in an IR reflecting layer with a lower specific resistivity (SR) thereby permitting thermal properties of the coated article to be improved.
Abstract:
A coated article includes a low emissivity (low-E) coating having at least one infrared (IR) reflecting layer of a material such as silver, gold, or the like, and a plurality of high refractive index dielectric layers of or including a nitride of Zr and Al. In certain example embodiments, the high refractive index dielectric layers of or including a nitride of Zr and Al may be amorphous or substantially amorphous so as to allow the low-E coating to better withstand optional heat treatment (HT) such as thermal tempering. In certain example embodiments, the low-E coating may be used in applications such as monolithic or insulating glass (IG) window unit, vehicle windows, of the like.
Abstract:
The invention provides a glass pane that has a transparent electrically conductive coating on a surface of the glass pane, such that the glass pane has a coated surface. The coated surface has a central region and a perimeter region. The transparent electrically conductive coating has a higher electrical conductivity at the central region than it does at the perimeter region. In some embodiments, the coated glass pane is part of an IG unit. Also provided are methods of producing a coated glass pane having an anti-condensation perimeter region.
