Patent number: 8741437Abstract: Substrate with Antimicrobial Properties An antimicrobial substrate (glass, ceramic or metallic) coated on at least one of its surface with at least one mixed layer deposited by a sputtering under vacuum magnetically enhanced process is described. The layer comprising at least one antimicrobial agent mixed to binder material chosen amongst the metal oxides, oxynitrides, oxycarbides or nitrides. This substrate present antimicrobial properties, in particular bactericidal activity even when no thermal treatment has been applied. If a tempered and antimicrobial glass is required, the same co-sputtering process can be used, optionally an underlayer can be added. Antimicrobial properties are maintained even after a tempering process.Type: GrantFiled: July 24, 2013Date of Patent: June 3, 2014Assignee: AGC Glass EuropeInventors: Georges Pilloy, Andre Hecq, Kadosa Hevesi, Nadia Jacobs

Publication number: 20110081542Abstract: A process for the production of a substrate having antimicrobial properties is described. It comprises a step consisting of the déposition of a métal non-gelling layer comprising an inorganic antimicrobial agent, starting from a precursor, in métal, colloid, chelate or ion form on at least one of the surfaces of the glass substrate; and a step consisting of the diffusion of the agent into said at least one surface of the substrate by thermal treatment. Alternatively, the substrate may be coated with an underlayer or a topcoat and the diffusion occurs either in the underlayer or in the topcoat. Glass and metallic substrates having antimicrobial properties are also described. In particular, a substrate exhibiting a bactericidal activity measured in accordance with standard JIS Z 2801 of higher than log 2.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 16, 2005Publication date: April 7, 2011Applicant: AGC FLAT GLASS EUROPE S.A.Inventors: Georges Pilloy, Christophe Ego, Jean-Pierre Poels, Muriel Tournay, Andre Hecq, Kadosa Hevesi, Nadia Jacobs

Patent number: 7833592Abstract: This invention relates to glazing panels, and in particular to chromogenic glazing panels and to a process for manufacturing such glazing panels. It is disclosed a glazing panel comprising two sheets of glass spaced apart from each other and sealed together along a of their edges, wherein the distance between the two sheets of glass is between 10 and 500 ?m and wherein the glazing panel is provided with a plurality of spaced deposits arranged between and in contact with the two sheets of glass and arranged with a distance between the deposits of between 1 and 10 cm, at least some of the deposits being attached to the surface of each glass sheet and each deposit comprising an adhesive. The glazings according to the invention have the advantage of providing a substantially constant distance between the two sheets of glass over substantially the whole surface of the glazing panel.Type: GrantFiled: July 27, 2004Date of Patent: November 16, 2010Assignee: AGC Glass EuropeInventor: Georges Pilloy
