  • Patent number: 8158263
    Abstract: A low emissivity glazing on a pane of glass, includes a set of thin layers formed by vacuum deposition assisted by magnetron, the set of thin layers including at least one metal layer reflecting infra-red rays between one or more dielectric layers located between the metal layer and the glass sheet, the metal layer being provided with a protective barrier coating, including a layer of titanium oxide or sub-oxide, deposited in a weakly oxidizing atmosphere at reduced pressure via a conducting titanium oxide cathode.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: May 31, 2007
    Date of Patent: April 17, 2012

  • Patent number: 7846549
    Abstract: Low emissivity glazing which is an assembly of thin layers including at least one metal layer reflecting infrared rays between one or more dielectric layers located between the metal layer and the glass sheet and on the metal layer, the light transmission of one clear float glass sheet 4 mm thick coated with said layers being not less than 83%, the metal layer being selected such that the emissivity is not higher than 0.042.

  • Publication number: 20060078747
    Abstract: A transparent substrate carrying a coating stack which has undergone a bending or tempering type of heat treatment and a method of manufacturing this product, the coating stack comprising at least one metallic coating layer comprising silver or a silver alloy characterized in that before the said heat treatment, each metallic coating layer is in contact with two non-absorbent transparent dielectric coating layers, each comprising a sub-layer based on a partially oxidized combination of two metals. The product in accordance with the invention is intended for incorporation in a laminated glazing, particularly to form a vehicle windshield.
