  • Publication number: 20050227012
    Abstract: An apparatus and method for coating glass, and specifically to perfluoroalkoxy copolymer coated glass, tetrafluoroethylene perfluoromethyl vinyl ether copolymer coated glass and a method for manufacturing same. A glass substrate is placed on an electrically grounded support and cleaned with a solvent to remove impurities and prepare the surface of the substrate to be coated. The surface is coated with a primer and an electro-conductive enhancer is uniformly applied to the primer so that the surface of the glass substrate is wet, but not uneven. The perfluoroalkoxy copolymer or tetrafluoroethylene perfluoromethyl vinyl ether copolymer is powder sprayed on the electro-conductive enhancer while the enhancer is still wet. The perfluoroalkoxy copolymer or tetrafluoroethylene perfluoromethyl vinyl ether copolymer is secured to the glass substrate by evaporating the electro-conductive enhancer.
