  • Patent number: 6403175
    Abstract: A process for producing surface-sealed hollow glass containers, the hollow glass containers are, in the production process in the region of the exit from the annealing lehr which is located downstream of a machine for producing hollow glass containers, coated by means of a water-based cold end coating composition comprising at least the following components: I. a trialkoxysilane, a dialkoxysilane and/or a tetralkoxysilane or their hydrolysis and/or condensation products and also II. a water-soluble or water-dispersible mixture of a polyol and a crosslinker, wherein the applied layer of the cold end coating composition is subsequently subjected to a crosslinking step. The hollow glass containers produced in this way have an improved strength.

  • Patent number: 6363749
    Abstract: A process for producing surface-sealed hollow glass containers, wherein as part of the production process the hollow glass containers are coated with a water-based cold end coating composition in the region of the exit from the annealing lehr, which is arranged following a machine for producing hollow glass containers, where the cold end coating composition comprises the following components: I. a water-based organopolysiloxane-containing composition prepared from alkoxysilanes which carry a functional group and alkoxysilanes which are selected from trialkoxysilanes, dialkoxysilanes and tetraalkoxysilanes, and II. a silicon-free component selected from a wax, a partial fatty acid ester, a fatty acid and/or a surfactant. The hollow glass containers produced in this way feature an enhanced long-term service strength.
