  • Patent number: 11279648
    Abstract: The invention relates to glass sheet having a composition comprising the following in weight percentage, expressed with respect to the total weight of glass: Total iron (expressed in the form of Fe2O3) 0.002-0.15% Selenium (expressed in the form of Se) 0.0003-0.005% Cobalt (expressed in the form of Co) 0.00005-0.0015%; the glass sheet being characterized in that: N?10.3*Fe2O3+0.11; N being defined as Formula (I). Such a glass sheet has a high luminous transmittance and has colorless/achromatic edges (very neutral in color). This invention is particularly suitable due to its aesthetics as building glass or interior glass, like for example in furniture applications.

  • Patent number: 10577275
    Abstract: The invention relates to a glass sheet having high transmission of infrared (IR) radiation. More specifically, the invention relates to a glass sheet having a composition which comprises, in a content expressed as percentages by total weight of glass: SiO2 55-85% AI2O3 0-30% B2O3 0-20% Na2O 0-25% CaO 0-20% MgO 0-15% K2O 0-20% BaO 0-20% total iron (expressed in the form of Fe2O3) 0.002-1%, Cr2O3 0.001-0.5% Co 0.0001-0.5% Se 0.0003-0.5%. By virtue of its high transmission of IR radiation, said glass sheet can advantageously be used in a device using a technology requiring very good transmission of IR radiation, whether through the main faces or starting from their edge (for example, a screen or panel or pad) The invention thus also relates to the use of such a glass sheet in a device using infrared radiation propagating essentially inside said sheet.

  • Patent number: 10391744
    Abstract: The invention relates to laminated glazing comprising a substrate, in particular a transparent substrate, optionally colored, coated with an infrared-reflecting layer and capable of being used as glazing in buildings or in vehicles. The coated substrate is made up of the combination of a glass substrate in which the composition has a redox of less than 15%, characterized by infrared reflection RIRV so that RIRV?1.087*TLV, wherein TLV is the light transmission of the glass, and an infrared reflecting layer characterized by light transmission TLC so that TLC?1.3*TIRC, wherein TIRC is the infrared transmission of the layer.

  • Patent number: 10370288
    Abstract: The invention relates to a float glass sheet having a boron- and lithium-free glass composition comprising the following in weight percentage, expressed with respect to the total weight of glass: 65?SiO2?78% 5?Na2O?20% 0?K2O<5% 1?Al2O3<6% 0?CaO<4.5% 4?MgO?12% a (MgO/(MgO+CaO)) ratio?0.5 characterized in that the glass sheet has: (I). The invention corresponds to an easy chemically-temperable soda-silica type glass composition, which is more suited for mass production than aluminosilicate glass, and therefore is available at low cost, and with a base glass/matrix composition that is close to or very similar to compositions already used in existing mass production, and finally which shows reduced or controlled increased warping effect.
