Patent number: 8534006Abstract: A variety of refrigerators and merchandisers having glass or plastic substrates that are substantially fog-resistant are provided. For example, refrigerator doors having a substantially transparent substrate including an anti-fog coating on at least a portion thereof are provided. The portion of the substrate may substantially not fog when the portion has an initial surface temperature and is then exposed to a moist air ambient with a dewpoint temperature equal to or greater than the surface temperature for a period of time. The surface temperature may be less than about 0° C. and the period of time may be greater than about 6 seconds.Type: GrantFiled: April 19, 2004Date of Patent: September 17, 2013Assignee: Hussmann CorporationInventors: John M. Roche, Sesha C. Madireddi, Edward A. Bernheim, Benjamin W. Raglin

Publication number: 20040137155Abstract: This document discloses a clear, polymeric composition that provides both abrasion resistance and non-fogging properties. The composition may be applied to plastic or glass with or without the use of a solvent carrier, or may be cast into a molded article. The fully cured composition provides a fog-free surface that repels condensation while the interior of the polymeric deposition provides a hydrophilic environment for the absorption of water vapor. This combination of properties is highly efficacious and permanent, functioning independent of any additional non-fogging additives. The current invention is composed of an isocyanate prepolymer and a water-soluble polyhydroxl polymer. An absence or surfactants or crosslinking additives/chain extenders makes the current invention innovative amongst prior art, relying totally upon the inventors' use of certain unique material combinations.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 13, 2003Publication date: July 15, 2004Applicant: Exxene CorporationInventors: Edward A.

Patent number: 6547390Abstract: A method and apparatus for the stabilizing of napthopyran and spiroxazine photochromic dye in a coating or plastic media is presented. As prolonged exposure to light causes degradation of the photochromic properties of the dyes, a two-tiered layering system is utilized in which a hindered amine stabilizer (HALS) and/or an ultraviolet light (UV) absorber, is placed as a clear coat layer above a bottom layer containing the photochromic dyes. The bottom layer is constructed containing the photochromic dyes by either a coating of a surface of a lens or an imbuing of the photochromic dyes into the lens material, and can further optionally contain a HALS and/or UV blocking compound itself.Type: GrantFiled: September 11, 2000Date of Patent: April 15, 2003Assignee: Exxene CorporationInventors: Edward A. Bernheim, Benjamin W. Raglin

Publication number: 20020159026Abstract: Optical media have predetermined regions of the spectrum where transmission is selectively reduced. Preferably, ultraviolet light is substantially prevented from passing through the media. A blue blocker is incorporated into the media, or as a coating on the media, for reducing transmission in the range of 400-540 nanometers. A red blocker is incorporated into the media, or as a coating on the media, for reducing transmission in the range of 625-760 nanometers. An infrared blocker is incorporated into the media, or as a coating on the media, for reducing transmission in the range of 760-1100 nanometers.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 30, 2001Publication date: October 31, 2002Inventor: Edward A.
