Patent number: 5246768
Abstract: Multilayer coating for polycarbonate substrate used as glass substitute essentially consisting of silicon, carbon, nitrogen, oxygen and hydrogen, characterized by a first anti-ultra-violet layer consisting of silicon, oxygen and/or nitrogen, carbon and hydrogen, according to formula:SiCx.sub.1 Oz.sub.1 Ht.sub.1,where x.sub.1 +z.sub.1 +t.sub.1 is between 1,2 and 1,5SiCx.sub.1 Ny.sub.1 Ht.sub.1,where x.sub.1 +y.sub.1 +t.sub.1 is between 1,2 and 1,5SiCx.sub.1 Ny.sub.1 Oz.sub.1 Ht.sub.1,where x.sub.1 +y.sub.1 +z.sub.1 +t.sub.1 is between 1,2 and 1,4and t.sub.1 is always between 0,1 and 0,7; x.sub.1 before y.sub.1 and/or z.sub.1 is small, so that the limit of optical absorption is concentrated at about 350 nm; the second transparent hard layer consists of silicon, oxygen, nitrogen, carbon and hydrogen, of formula SiCx.sub.2 Ny.sub.2 Oz.sub.2 Ht.sub.2, where, in particular:either y.sub.2 =0, z.sub.2 is between 1,7 and 2,0, t.sub.2 is between 0,1 and 0,7, x.sub.2 before z.sub.2 is small;or y.sub.
