The coating may comprise a glass frit mixed with a refractory material, such as dry Type I-II portland cement. The coating is bonded, typically by heat, to the surface of the reinforcing material. The reaction of the refractory component, e.g., portland cement, when the reinforcement, e.g., metal re-bar, is embedded in a matrix, e.g., fresh mortar or concrete, prevents the formation of soft precipitates at the interface of the matrix and its reinforcement. One coating comprises portland cement Type I-II combined with a commercial alkali-resistant glass frit. This coating is applied to a steel rebar and fired to bond to the rebar.

  • Patent number: 8828545
    Abstract: The invention provides a silica-alumina-sodium oxide glass easy to melt and suitable for a low temperature ion exchange process. The glass is suitable for chemical tempering and consists of 55-60 wt % of SiO2, 0.1-2.5 wt % of B2O3, 11-16 wt % of Al2O3, 14-17 wt % of Na2O, 1-8 wt % of K2O, 0-8 wt % of ZrO2, 0-5 wt % of CaO, 0-5 wt % of MgO and 0-1 wt % of Sb2O3. By reasonably setting the composition, the difficulty in glass production decreases and the glass melting temperature is reduced obviously, which is favorable to reduce energy consumption and improve yield of products. Under the condition that tempering temperature is 380?-500? and tempering time is 4-12 h, the surface compressive stress can be 610-1100 Mpa, the depth of a stress layer can be 31-80 ?m, and the glass is reinforced and has high shock resistance. The glass of the invention has high wear resistance and can be used as a protective glass material of high-grade electronic display products such as mobile phones and PDAs.

    Abstract: A single glass panel for a fire door and a double glazed glass panel for a fire door that have a fireproofness with which the glass sheet passes an international standard ISO 0834 flame insulating performance test and are as inexpensive as possible. For example, the single glass panel for a fire door is obtained by forming a heat reflecting coating with a low emissivity on at least one surface of a glass sheet that is a heat strengthened glass sheet or is more thermally strengthened than a heat strengthened glass sheet, and the double glazed glass panel for a fire door includes a first glass sheet (2B) obtained by forming a heat reflecting coating (4) with an emissivity of 0.

  • Patent number: 8823163
    Abstract: An antimony-free glass comprising TeO2 and/or Bi2O3 suitable for use in a frit for producing a hermetically sealed glass package is described. The hermetically sealed glass package, such as an OLED display device, is manufactured by providing a first glass substrate plate and a second glass substrate plate and depositing the antimony-free frit onto the first substrate plate. OLEDs may be deposited on the second glass substrate plate. An irradiation source (e.g., laser, infrared light) is then used to heat the frit which melts and forms a hermetic seal that connects the first glass substrate plate to the second glass substrate plate and also protects the OLEDs disposed therein. The antimony-free glass has excellent aqueous durability, good flow, and low glass transition temperature.

  • Patent number: 8822032
    Abstract: The disclosure is directed to glass frits materials containing phosphors that can be used in LED lighting devices and for methods associated therewith for making the phosphor containing frit materials. Suitable non-lead glasses have a composition, in mol %, in the range of 20-24% K2O, 8-12% ZnO, 2-6% Al2O3, 35-41% B2O3 and 22-28 SiO2. Suitable leaded glasses have a composition, in wt %, in range of 72-79% PbO, 8-13% Al2O3, 8-13% B2O3, 2-5% SiO2 and 0-0.3% Sb2O3. Commercial high-lead glass can be used in practicing the disclosure. Among the unique advantages are the ability to blend two or more phosphors within the same frit layer which will yield a multi-phosphor-containing glass after firing; the ability to deposit the phosphor onto a substrate into a desired geometric pattern; and the fluorescing layer can be applied to the active plane, with the glass serving as protective substrate.
