  • Publication number: 20240278541
    Abstract: A material includes one or more transparent substrates including two main surfaces, of which one of the surfaces of one of the substrates is coated with a functional coating capable of controlling solar radiation, the material including an absorbent layer for colorimetric adjustment of which the average absorption peak is centered between 500 and 555 nm and of which the full width at half maximum is less than 50 nm. The solar glazing has an improved aesthetic appearance without overly affecting thermal performance.

  • Publication number: 20240270634
    Abstract: A material includes at least transparent substrate and has a functional coating or functional layer to act on solar radiation and/or infrared radiation. The material includes an absorbent element in the form of a layer, which in particular absorbs the solar radiation in the visible part of the spectrum and does so in a specific manner. The material has an absorption profile with at least a spike centered between 480 and 549 nm, and a second spike centered between 630 nm and 779 nm. The addition of a layer-form absorbent element exhibiting these two absorption spikes allows an improvement in thermal performance, particularly the selectivity, without having a great impact on the aesthetics of the glazing, so that in particular the transmission remains neutral.

  • Patent number: 12023895
    Abstract: A composite pane includes an outer pane, an inner pane, and a thermoplastic intermediate layer. The composite pane has, between the outer and inner panes, a solar protection coating that substantially reflects or absorbs rays outside the visible spectrum of solar radiation. The solar protection coating includes starting from the outer pane, a layer sequence of first dielectric module (M1), first silver layer (Ag1), second dielectric module (M2), second silver layer (Ag2), third dielectric module (M3), third dielectric module (M3), third silver layer (Ag3), fourth dielectric module (M4), wherein the silver layers (Ag1, Ag2, Ag3) have a layer thickness relative to one another of Ag1/Ag2>1 and Ag1/Ag3>1, and the dielectric modules (M1, M2, M3, M4) have a relative layer thickness of M2/M1>1, M2/M3>1, and M2/M4>1.

  • Publication number: 20230194435
    Abstract: A computer implemented methods for estimating at least one quality function of a given layered coating on a transparent substrate allows to predict at least one non in-process measured quality function of a given layered coating on a transparent substrate from an in-process measured quality function which can be acquired on the coated substrate as deposited at any location, preferably at the end of a coating process. The method allows to get rid of in-process real-time continuous measurements of quality functions of the coated transparent substrate and real-time monitoring of coating process parameters.
