  • Patent number: 5385755
    Abstract: A method for curing an adhesive promoter onto glass. An adhesive promoter having a solvent carrier is first applied to the glass, and the treated glass is introduced into a first chamber maintaining an environment with temperature between approximately 93.degree. C. and 127.degree. C. (200.degree. F. and 260.degree. F.) to flash off the adhesive promoter's solvent carrier. The glass is then introduced into a second chamber maintaining an environment for heating and humidifying the glass with temperature between approximately 65.degree. C. and 93.degree. C. (150.degree. F. and 200.degree. F.) and humidity between approximately 80 and 90 percent for hydrolysis to promote the formation of a laminate on the edge of the glass. Thereafter, the glass is introduced into a third chamber maintaining an environment with temperature between approximately 93.degree. C. and 121.degree. C. (200.degree. F. and 250.degree. F.) to dry the glass and evaporate the water from the laminate.
