  • Publication number: 20220034155
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a transparent substrate comprising a multiple layer coating stack and the use of same in the manufacture of a double glazing unit, wherein the multiple layer coating stack comprises, n functional metal layer, m; and n plus 1 (n+1) dielectric layer, d, wherein the dielectric layers are positioned before and after each functional metal layer, and wherein n is the total number of functional metal layer in the stack counted from the substrate and is greater than or equal to 3; and wherein each dielectric layer comprises one or more layers, characterized in that the geometrical layer thickness of each functional metal layer in the coating stack Gm, is greater than the geometrical layer thickness of each functional metal layer appearing before it in the multiple layer coating stack, that is, Gmi+1>Gmi wherein i is the position of the functional metal layer in the coating stack counted from the substrate, and wherein for each dielectric layer d located before and after each functi

  • Publication number: 20130337200
    Abstract: An insulated multiple glazing unit comprising at least two coated glass panes separated by at least one gap, wherein the at least two coated glass panes each comprise a low-emissivity and/or solar control coating on a first major surface of the pane and an anti-reflection coating on a second major surface of the pane, wherein two of the coated glass panes are outer panes arranged such that their low-emissivity and/or solar control coatings face each other and their anti-reflection coatings face away from each other, wherein each of said low-emissivity and/or solar control coatings is such that, if said coating coats a major surface of an otherwise uncoated clear glass pane, said pane exhibits a visible light reflectance, both when viewed normal to said coated major surface and normal to an opposing uncoated major surface, of less than 6%, and wherein the unit exhibits a visible light reflectance, when viewed normal to each of said anti-reflection coatings of the two outer panes, of less than 6%.

  • Publication number: 20040137235
    Abstract: The use of a layer comprising a suboxidic indium oxide as an embedding layer above and/or below a light transmitting silver layer provides a coated glass substrate which can be toughened and/or bent. The preferred suboxidic oxide is indium tin oxide. The coating may comprise one or more silver layers. The bent or toughened coated glass are suitable for use e.g. in vehicle glazings and architectural glazings.

  • Patent number: 6572940
    Abstract: A glass sheet includes a coating comprising at least one silver layer and inner and outer antireflection layers. The glass sheet is formed by a magnetron sputtering process. The inner antireflection layer is a multiple layer comprising a layer of a titanium oxide applied by medium frequency magnetron sputtering and a layer of a metal oxide between the titanium oxide layer and a silver layer.

  • Patent number: 6540884
    Abstract: A process for the production of a low emissivity coating on a glass substrate comprising, in sequence, depositing a reflective metal layer, and reactively sputtering a metal oxide layer over the metal layer in the presence of an oxygen scavenger. The oxygen scavenger is preferably a hydrocarbon, in particular methane. The metal oxide layer may comprise tin oxide, zinc oxide, tungsten oxide and other metal oxides are also likely to be suitable.
