Patent number: 6656523Abstract: A solar-control glass that has acceptable visible light transmission, absorbs near infrared wavelength light (NIR) and reflects midrange infrared light (low emissivity mid IR) along with a preselected color within the visible light spectrum for reflected light is provided. Also provided is a method of producing the improved, coated, solar-controlled glass. The improved glass has a solar energy (NIR) absorbing layer comprising tin oxide having a dopant such as antimony and a low emissivity control layer (low emissivity) capable of reflecting midrange infrared light and comprising tin oxide having fluorine and/or phosphorus dopant. A separate iridescence color suppressing layer as described in the prior art is generally not needed to achieve a neutral (colorless) appearance for the coated glass, however an iridescence suppressing layer or other layers may be combined with the two layer assemblage provided by the present invention.Type: GrantFiled: February 13, 2003Date of Patent: December 2, 2003Assignee: Atofina Chemicals, Inc.Inventors: David A. Russo, Clem S. McKown, Christophe Roger, Jeffrey L. Stricker

Patent number: 4662901Abstract: A method of converting at least partially molten dibutyltin difluoride contained in a hot, waste gas stream into substantially dry, solid particles suitable for recovery by filtration through a porous bag filter. The method includes the steps of introducing a predetermined amount of liquid water into the stream, and vaporizing the liquid water to cool the gas and the molten dibutyltin difluoride to form substantially dry particles. The amount of liquid water is sufficient to effect the desired cooling without saturating the gas stream.Type: GrantFiled: November 27, 1985Date of Patent: May 5, 1987Assignee: M&T Chemicals Inc.Inventor: Clem S.
