Publication number: 20130183518Abstract: The energy saving glass comprises a substantially mutually parallel first surface and second surface, and the glass mass of the energy saving glass contains a solar radiation energy absorbing agent. The solar radiation energy absorbing agent is present in a layer of the glass mass which is close to the first surface, in which layer the concentration of the radiation energy absorbing agent substantially decreases when proceeding from the first surface deeper into the glass mass, such that the absorbing agent is present at the depth of at least 0.1 micrometres and not more than 100 micrometres as measured from the first surface of the glass. In the method, a layer of particulates is grown on the first surface of the glass, which particulates include at least one element or compound of the elements and diffuse and/or dissolve into the surface layer of the glass.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 21, 2008Publication date: July 18, 2013Applicant: Beneq OyInventors: Markku Rajala, Joe Pimenoff, Daniel Decroupet
