  • Dark grey soda-lime silica glass composition which is intended for the production of glazing
    Patent number: 8017538
    Abstract: The invention relates to a dark gray soda-lime silicate glass composition which includes a coloring part essentially consisting of the compounds below in contents varying within the following weight limits: Fe2O3 (total iron) 0.7 to 0.95% CoO ?50 to 80 ppm NiO 400 to 700 ppm or Fe2O3 (total iron) 0.7 to 0.95% CoO 200 to 300 ppm NiO 1500 to 1900 ppm? said composition being free of selenium, having a redox of 0.40 or less, and the glass having a light transmission factor (TLA) under illuminant A of 50% or less and an overall energy transmission factor (TE) of less than 45%, these being measured for a thickness of 3.85 mm.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: October 29, 2009
    Date of Patent: September 13, 2011

  • Dark grey soda-lime-silica glass composition which is intended for the production of glazing
    Patent number: 7884039
    Abstract: The invention relates to a dark gray soda-lime silicate glass composition which includes a coloring part essentially consisting of the compounds below in contents varying within the following weight limits: Fe2O3 (total iron) 0.7 to 0.95% CoO 50 to 80 ppm NiO 400 to 700 ppm or Fe2O3 (total iron) 0.7 to 0.95% CoO 200 to 300 ppm NiO 1500 to 1900 ppm said composition being free of selenium, having a redox of 0.40 or less, and the glass having a light transmission factor (TLA) under illuminant A of 50% or less and an overall energy transmission factor (TE) of less than 45%, these being measured for a thickness of 3.85 mm. The invention also relates to glass sheets, optionally thermally toughened, obtained from the aforementioned composition and to glazing comprising at least one of these sheets, especially as “privacy” windows for automobiles.
