  • Method for providing a coating on polyalkylene
    Patent number: 6066370
    Abstract: A method is described for the adhesion of a coating (3) on a surface (2) of a substrate (1) of a polyalkylene, such as polypropylene. The method comprises a first deep UV exposure in an inert atmosphere, and a second deep UV exposure in an oxidizing atmosphere. Between the two exposure steps, the substrate surface (2) is rinsed with an organic solvent. Such a rinsing step increases the adhesion of the coating and reduces the total exposure time.

  • Method of applying a silver layer to a glass substrate
    Patent number: 6027862
    Abstract: A description is given of a method of providing an adhesive silver layer on a glass substrate, in which method the glass surface is activated, whereafter a first silver layer is provided from an electroless silver bath and reinforced by means of a second silver layer which is electrodeposited thereon from a cyanide-free bath comprising ammonia as the complexing agent for silver ions. The method can very suitably be used for silver-plating glass plates, as used in thin gas-discharge displays or thin electron displays, for example selection plates or control plates.
