Publication number: 20100173141Abstract: A method of making an article that exhibits a metallic appearance includes treating a surface of a non-metallic substrate, e.g. a glass sheet to have a textured surface, and applying an overlay, e.g. a coating over the pattern. The percent of visible light transmittance, and percent visible light reflectance, of the substrate and the overlay is selected such that the pattern is visible when the article is viewed through one of the surfaces of the substrate or overlay. Also provided is a heatable coating having a low emissivity that can be used as the overlay.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 18, 2010Publication date: July 8, 2010Applicant: PPG INDUSTRIES OHIO, INC.Inventors: Paul A.

Patent number: 7736750Abstract: An article includes a substrate, e.g. a glass sheet having a first major surface and an opposite second major surface having a textured surface to provide a predetermined pattern on the second surface of the substrate, and an overlay, e.g. a coating over the pattern. The percent of visible light transmittance, and percent visible light reflectance, of the substrate and the overlay is selected such that the pattern is visible when the article is viewed through one of the surfaces of the substrate or overlay. In one non-limiting embodiment, the substrate is glass and the article has a metallic appearance. In another non-limiting embodiment, the overlay is a transparent coating deposited on the second surface of the glass sheet into grooves of the pattern. Other non-limiting embodiments include the substrate having a Delta % haze of greater than 15%, and a protective overcoat over the coating.Type: GrantFiled: December 14, 2006Date of Patent: June 15, 2010Assignee: PPG Industries Ohio, Inc.Inventors: Paul A.

Patent number: 6849328Abstract: A method and coating are provided for temporarily protecting a substrate or article during shipping, handling or storage by applying a removable protective coating over at least a portion of the substrate. The substrate may be flat or curved and may have zero, one or more functional coatings. A plurality of substrates with the protective coating of the invention may be arranged in a shipping container so that the protective coating reduces the possibility of damage to the substrate or optional functional coating. In one embodiment, the protective coating is the evaporation or reaction product of an aqueous coating composition containing a polyvinyl alcohol polymer which may be subsequently removed by aqueous washing, thermal decomposition or combustion. In another embodiment, the protective coating is formed by sputtering a substantially carbon coating onto the substrate. The carbon coating is subsequently removed by combustion.Type: GrantFiled: May 10, 2000Date of Patent: February 1, 2005Assignee: PPG Industries Ohio, Inc.Inventors: Paul A. Medwick, Erin Goodreau, Ernest L. Lawton, James J. Finley, George M. Martin, James P. Thiel, Gary J. Marietti, Roger L. Scriven

Patent number: 6666983Abstract: The present invention is directed to an article with a patterned appearance provided by a visually observable contrast between one or more genereally transparent thin film coatings deposited over a substrate. At least one of the deposited coatings exhibits a reflected color and/or contrast and visible differing transmitted color and/or contrast or a plurality of coatings together exhibit different reflected colors and/or contrasts. The coatings are selected from the group of: metals depositable by magnetron sputtering vacuum deposition, chemical vapor deposition, pyrolytic coating, or sol-gel techniques, metal oxide coatings, metal nitride coatings, semi-conductor containing coatings, metal oxynitrides and mixtures thereof.
