Coatings for glass

Abstract

ABSTRACT COATINGS FOR GLASS Disclosed is an invention providing a process for form-ing a useful underlayer on a glass surface comprisingdirecting on to the hot glass surface at a temperature of600°C to 750°C a gaseous mixture of a silane, an unsaturatedhydrocarbon compound and carbon dioxide thereby depositinga transparent layer containing silicon and oxygen on theglass surface. Underlayers produced by the process of theinvention act as barriers to the migration of alkali metalions from the glass and are useful when an overlying layer,sensitive to the migration of alkali metal ions from theglass, is applied directly or indirectly over the underlayer. According to a further aspect of the invention, the processadditionally comprises the step of applying a layer, sensitiveto the migration of alkali metal ions from the glass, overthe underlayer.

  1. 1
    - 24 The embodiments of the invention in which an exclusive property or privilege is claimed are defined as follows:1. A process for forming an underlayer on a glass surface comprising directing on to the hot glass surface at a temperature of 600°C to 750°C a gaseous mixture of a silane, an unsaturated hydrocarbon compound and carbon dioxide thereby depositing a transparent layer containing silicon and oxygen on the glass surface.
  2. 8
    A process according to any of claims 1,6 and 7 wherein the ratio of unsaturated hydrocarbon to silane in the gaseous mixture used to deposit the underlayer is in the range 2:1 to 5:1 by volume.
  3. 9
    A process according to any of claims 1,6 and 7 wherein the ratio of carbon dioxide to silane in the gaseous mixture used to deposit the underlayer is in the range 2:1 to 8:1 by volume.
