Abstract: A noniridescent, high transmittance, low emissivity, infrared reflecting coated article for solar energy control and a method for its production are disclosed. The article comprises a transparent substrate, an infrared reflecting film which exhibits interference color effects, and a uniformly reflecting, transparent film which is sufficiently reflective in the visible range to mask the interference color effects of the infrared reflecting film.

Abstract: A method is disclosed for producing a low emissivity metal oxide film on a glass surface within a nonoxidizing atmosphere inside a float bath by applying a metal-containing coating reactant in vapor form in the pressure of oxygen to the top surface of a float glass ribbon while the bottom surface is maintained in contact with a molten metal bath in a nonoxidizing atmosphere at a temperature sufficient to thermally react said reactant to form a metal oxide film on the glass surface.

Abstract: A method is disclosed for depositing a coating from a turbulent gaseous stream of a powder coating reactant delivered to a substrate surface through a slot-shaped nozzle.

Abstract: A method is disclosed for depositing metal-containing films using relatively water-insoluble coating reactants by dispersing said coating reactants in powder form into an aqueous medium with vigorous agitation to form an aqueous physical suspension.

Abstract: A method is disclosed for fluidizing and vaporizing particulate solid coating reactants by establishing a fluidized bed of dispersed particulate solid coating reactants, drawing a volume of fluidizing gas and suspended particulate solid coating reactant into a vaporizer while mixing an additional volume of gas therewith, and vaporizing the dispersed particulate solid coating reactant in the reactant gas mixture. The vaporized coating reactant may then be directed into contact with a substrate to be coated in order to deposit a film thereon.

Abstract: A method is provided for fluidizing and vaporizing particulate solid coating reactants by first establishing a fluidized bed of dispersed particulate solid coating reactants and thereafter drawing a volume of fluidizing gas and suspended particulate solid coating reactant to a vaporizer while mixing an additional volume of gas therewith and then vaporizing the dispersed particulate solid coating reactant in the reactant-gas mixture. The reactant-gas mixture is then directed into contact with a substrate to be coated in order to deposit a film thereon.

Abstract: A method is disclosed for pyrolytically forming electroconductive tin oxide films having higher resistivity for a given thickness than tin oxide films formed by known methods by adding to the film forming solution an organic compound which retards the rate of film formation reducing the particle size of the tin oxide film thus increasing the resistivity of the film. Small quantities of an organic compound such as cresol or benzyl alcohol added to the film-forming solution may increase the resistivity by a factor of five for a typical film thickness.

Abstract: An apparatus and method are provided for fluidizing and vaporizing particulate solid coating reactants by first establishing a fluidized bed of dispersed particulant solid coating reactants and thereafter drawing a volume of fluidizing gas and suspended particulate solid coating reactant to a vaporizer while mixing an additional volume of gas therewith and then vaporizing the dispersed particulate solid coating reactant in the reactant-gas mixture. The reactant-gas mixture is then directed into contact with a hot substrate to be coated in order to deposit a film thereon.
