  • Patent number: 11162688
    Abstract: The present disclosure describes thermally insulating glass laminates that prevent heat from escaping from heated cavities. In some embodiments, the thermally insulating glass laminates comprise a low or non-conductive coating layer that forms a chemical bond with at least one substrate, wherein the coating layer has a thickness of about 0.010 inches or less, wherein a plurality of glass spacers is submerged in the coating layer, and wherein at least one sealed cavity of gas molecules is created between the substrates and around the glass spacers. Since there is a small amount of gas molecules in each cavity, convective heat transfer between the substrates is minimized thereby minimizing heat loss through the laminates into the surrounding environment.

  • Patent number: 10773542
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a method for manufacturing decorative panels made of flat glass for electronic household appliances, in particular household appliances that are fixed in position. The method comprises, in the specified order, at least the steps of providing a flat glass, producing a blank decorative panel by forming the provided flat glass with at least one of the steps of forming the outer contour of the decorative panel, edge treatment, or making at least one indentation on the operational front, the thermal tempering of the produced blank decorative panel, and applying at least one decorative print on the operational back of the thermally tempered blank decorative panel by means of a digital printing method.

  • Patent number: 10591652
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides a coated glass or glass-ceramic substrate, wherein at least two coating layers are applied to each side of the substrate. Each of the coating layers comprises one or more metal oxides, and optionally a dopant. The dopant can be a halogen or post transition metal. The coated substrate can have two coating layers on each side, three coating layers on each side, or two coating layers on one side and three coating layers on the other side. The properties of each of the coating layers are adjusted so that the coated substrate can reflect infrared light in targeted wavelength ranges. The properties that can be adjusted include the number of coating layers, the coating layer thickness, the coating layer composition, the index of refraction of each coating layer, and the location of each coating layer according to their index of refraction.

  • Publication number: 20200024457
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides a coated glass substrate, first and second coating compositions, and a process for coating the substrate. The first composition includes a source of tin, a source of fluorine, a source of titanium, and a solvent. The second composition includes a source of tin, a source of fluorine, and a solvent, and can be free of titanium. The first composition is applied to the substrate under elevated temperatures, and a first or sub layer is formed on the substrate via pyrolysis. The second composition is then applied, to form a second or top layer over the sub layer.

  • Patent number: 10421252
    Abstract: The present disclosure describes thermally insulating glass laminates that mitigate or prevent heat loss from heated cavities. In some embodiments, the thermally insulating glass laminates comprise a non-uniform low or non-conductive coating layer that forms a chemical bond with at least one inner surface of the substrates, wherein the coating layer can have a thickness of about 0.010 inches or less and forms a pattern that contacts about 30% or less of at least one inner surface of a substrate and helps form a plurality of sealed cavities of gas molecules between the substrates. Since there is a small amount of gas molecules in each cavity, convective heat transfer between the substrates is minimized thereby minimizing heat loss through the laminates into the surrounding environment.
