  • Scratch and abrasion resistant UV blocking glass coating
    Patent number: 10266707
    Abstract: A coating composition and method of making a scratch resistant UV blocking glass coating is described. The composition can include an aqueous colloidal silica. a bifunctional silanol coupling agent, tetraethylorthosilicate (TEOS), a UV absorber, and a water miscible solvent selected from glycol ethers, alkanols, keto alcohols, and combinations thereof. The molar ratio of the bi-functional silanol to TEOS is selected to provide scratch resistance coupled with water resistance.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: August 3, 2016
    Date of Patent: April 23, 2019
    Assignee: TRU VUE, INC.

  • Scratch and abrasion resistant UV blocking glass coating
    Patent number: 9255213
    Abstract: A resin for making abrasion and scratch resistant UV blocking glass coating. The resin can include an inorganic polysiloxane polymer matrix formed from water-based colloidal silica and tetraethylorthosilicate (TEOS). The resin also can include a bi-functional silanol coupling agent coupled to the inorganic polysiloxane polymer matrix. The resin further can include a UV absorber conjugated to the bi-functional silanol coupling agent. The resin also can include a solvent that is compatible with the colloidal silica, TEOS, bi-functional silanol agent, and UV absorber.
