  • Publication number: 20210331968
    Abstract: A corrosion-resistant coated glass substrate suitable for use in a humid environment and a process for producing same, the process comprising providing a soda lime silica glass substrate, providing a liquid coating composition comprising a polysilazane at a concentration of between 0.5% and 80% by weight, contacting one or both surfaces of the glass substrate directly with the coating composition, and curing the coating composition thereby forming a corrosion-resistant coated glass substrate having a silica layer on one or both sides of the glass substrate with a thickness of from 12 nm to 300 nm.

  • Patent number: 10822268
    Abstract: A splash screen, and a process for making a splash screen, comprising a glass sheet, the glass sheet comprising, a substrate of soda lime silica glass having a coating deposited on at least at least a first surface, the coating comprising a corrosion-protection layer deposited directly on the first surface of the substrate, the corrosion-protection layer having a thickness in the range 24 nm to 125 nm and comprising pyrolytically deposited silica with intentional doping of 7 atom % or lower. The splash screen provides reduced moisture induced corrosion of the glass surface.
