Description

COMPOSITIONS DE VERRE DESTINEES A LA FABRICATION DE VITRAGES GLASS COMPOSITIONS FOR THE MANUFACTURE OF GLAZING
L'invention concerne de nouvelles compositions de verre de type silico- sodo-calcique plus particulièrement destinées à la fabrication de vitrages. Bien qu'elle ne soit pas limitée à de telles applications, l'invention sera plus spécialement décrite en référence à des vitrages automobiles.The invention relates to new glass compositions of the soda-lime-silica type, more particularly intended for the manufacture of glazing. Although it is not limited to such applications, the invention will be more particularly described with reference to automobile glazing.
Les vitrages destinés à l'industrie automobile sont soumis à différentes exigences, notamment en ce qui concerne leurs propriétés optiques ; ces exigences sont régies par voie de réglementation, par exemple lorsqu'il s'agit de la transmission lumineuse d'un pare-brise ou bien par souci du confort de l'usager, par exemple en ce qui concerne la transmission énergétique ou bien encore par souci d'esthétisme, notamment en ce qui concerne la couleur.Glazing intended for the automotive industry is subject to various requirements, in particular as regards their optical properties; these requirements are governed by regulations, for example when it comes to the light transmission of a windshield or for the sake of user comfort, for example with regard to energy transmission or else for aesthetic reasons, especially with regard to color.
Par ailleurs, depuis quelques temps, les constructeurs s'orientent vers une nouvelle exigence concernant la transmission des ultraviolets. Cette nouvelle tendance a notamment pour but une volonté de protéger au mieux la peau du soleil en évitant le bronzage et les coups de soleil. Un autre but de cette tendance est de limiter le fanage des tissus qui habillent l'intérieur des véhicules automobiles. II est connu que le fer, sous sa forme d'ions ferriques Fe3 + , c'est-à-dire sous la forme Fe2O3 permet d'obtenir une absorption dans l'ultraviolet. Il est par ailleurs connu que le fer, sous sa forme d'ions ferreux Fe2 + , c'est-à-dire sous la forme FeO, permet d'obtenir une absorption dans l'infrarouge.In addition, for some time, manufacturers have been moving towards a new requirement concerning the transmission of ultraviolet light. This new trend aims to protect the skin from the sun by avoiding tanning and sunburn. Another aim of this trend is to limit the fading of the fabrics which adorn the interior of motor vehicles. It is known that iron, in its form of ferric ions Fe3 + , that is to say in the form Fe 2 O 3, makes it possible to obtain absorption in the ultraviolet. It is also known that iron, in its form of ferrous ions Fe2 + , that is to say in the form FeO, makes it possible to obtain absorption in the infrared.
Il est ainsi connu que la régulation du rédox (coefficient d'oxydo- réduction) d'une composition de verre permet de réguler l'absorption dans l'ultraviolet par rapport à celle dans l'infrarouge en ce qui concerne l'action du fer. Il a par ailleurs déjà été décrit, notamment dans la demande de brevetIt is thus known that the regulation of the redox (redox coefficient) of a glass composition makes it possible to regulate the absorption in the ultraviolet compared to that in the infrared with regard to the action of iron. . It has moreover already been described, in particular in the patent application.
WO94/1 471 6 que l'oxyde de cérium CeO2 a un effet sur l'absorption dans l'ultraviolet. Toutefois, l'introduction de cet oxyde conduit à un surcoût de la composition très important du fait du coût des matières premières permettant l'introduction de cet oxyde.WO94 / 1 471 6 that cerium oxide CeO 2 has an effect on absorption in the ultraviolet. However, the introduction of this oxide leads to a very significant additional cost of the composition due to the cost of the raw materials allowing the introduction of this oxide.
Il a également déjà été décrit, notamment dans le brevet US-5 478 783 que l'oxyde de titane TiO2 a aussi un effet sur l'absorption dans l'ultraviolet. Si le coût de l'introduction de TiO2 dans une matrice verrière est inférieur à celle de CeO2, il reste tout de même très élevé. II est encore connu notamment du document WO94/1 471 6 de combiner les deux oxydes CeO2 et TiO2, toujours dans le but d'une meilleure absorption dans l'ultraviolet. Une telle combinaison ne permet bien entendu pas de limiter le surcoût dû à l'introduction de ces oxydes dans une matrice verrière.It has also already been described, notably in US Pat. No. 5,478,783 that titanium oxide TiO 2 also has an effect on absorption in the ultraviolet. If the cost of introducing TiO 2 into a glass matrix is lower than that of CeO 2 , it still remains very high. It is also known in particular from document WO94 / 1 471 6 to combine the two oxides CeO 2 and TiO 2 , again with the aim of better absorption in the ultraviolet. Such a combination does not of course limit the additional cost due to the introduction of these oxides into a glass matrix.
Par ailleurs, la volonté des constructeurs est toujours de diminuer le coût de fabrication des véhicules et par conséquent celui des vitrages.Furthermore, the manufacturers' desire is always to reduce the cost of manufacturing vehicles and therefore that of glazing.
Les inventeurs se sont ainsi donnés pour mission, de réaliser de nouvelles compositions de verre présentant les propriétés optiques requises, notamment en matière de transmission énergétique et de transmission ultraviolette et présentant des coûts de fabrication réduits. Ce but est atteint selon l'invention par une composition de verre de type silico-sodo-calcique destinée notamment à la réalisation de vitrages, comprenant les constituants ci-après, selon des teneurs, exprimées en pourcentages pondéraux, définies par les limites suivantes : SiO2 74 - 80 %The inventors have thus given themselves the mission of producing new glass compositions having the required optical properties, in particular in terms of energy transmission and ultraviolet transmission and having reduced manufacturing costs. This object is achieved according to the invention by a glass composition of the soda-lime-silica type intended in particular for the production of glazing, comprising the following constituents, according to contents, expressed in percentages by weight, defined by the following limits: SiO 2 74 - 80%
B2O3 0 - 2 %B 2 O 3 0 - 2%
MgO 0,3 - 4 %MgO 0.3 - 4%
CaO 1 - 1 0 %CaO 1 - 1 0%
Na2O 1 1 - 1 7 %Na 2 O 1 1 - 1 7%
K2O 0,3 - 1 ,5 %K 2 O 0.3 - 1.5%
AI2O3 0,2 - 2 %AI 2 O 3 0.2 - 2%
Fe2O3 0,2 - 2 % où Fe2O3 est le fer total Et la matrice verrière présentant pour des épaisseurs de vitrages de 3,85 mm une transmission énergétique globale TE inférieure à 46%, et de préférence inférieure à 45%, de préférence encore inférieure à 43% et une transmission ultraviolette Tu v. iso inférieure à 1 8,5%, et de préférence inférieure à 1 5 % et de préférence encore inférieure à 1 0%.Fe 2 O 3 0.2 - 2% where Fe 2 O 3 is total iron And the glass matrix having, for glazing thicknesses of 3.85 mm, an overall energy transmission T E of less than 46%, and preferably less than 45%, more preferably still less than 43% and an ultraviolet transmission T uv . iso less than 1 8.5%, and preferably less than 1 5% and more preferably less than 1 0%.
La matrice selon l'invention, riche en silice, permet de limiter les coûts de production, notamment du fait de la matière première apportant l'oxyde SiO2 qui est peu onéreuse. D'autre part, les matrices selon l'invention ont l'avantage de présenter des densités relativement faibles ; le prix du verre étant de façon habituelle établi au poids, il apparaît qu'en termes de vitrages, les compositions selon l'invention permettent encore de diminuer le prix desdits vitrages.The matrix according to the invention, rich in silica, makes it possible to limit production costs, in particular because of the raw material providing the oxide SiO 2 which is inexpensive. On the other hand, the matrices according to the invention have the advantage of having relatively low densities; the price of glass being usually established by weight, it appears that in terms of glazing, the compositions according to the invention further reduce the price of said glazing.
Par ailleurs, les verres obtenus selon l'invention présentent un indice de réfraction plus faible que des verres de type sodo-calcique usuels et possèdent ainsi un pouvoir anti-reflet plus important.Furthermore, the glasses obtained according to the invention have a lower refractive index than standard soda-lime type glasses and thus have a greater anti-reflection power.
De préférence encore, la teneur en silice est supérieure ou égale à 76% .More preferably, the silica content is greater than or equal to 76%.
La viscosité des verres selon l'invention peut rendre plus difficile la fusion selon des méthodes usuelles. Toutefois, il est également possible d'effectuer la fusion selon des techniques telles que celles décrites dans la demande de brevet française FR98/001 76.The viscosity of the glasses according to the invention can make it more difficult to merge according to usual methods. However, it is also possible to carry out the fusion using techniques such as those described in French patent application FR98 / 001 76.
L'oxyde AI2O3 est utilisé en très faible quantité, car il contribue également à une augmentation de la viscosité et à une diminution de la transmission dans le visible.AI 2 O 3 oxide is used in very small quantities, because it also contributes to an increase in viscosity and a decrease in transmission in the visible.
Les oxydes alcalins Na2O et K2O permettent de faciliter la fusion du verre et d'ajuster sa viscosité aux températures élevées. K20 est avantageusement utilisée avec des teneurs inférieures à 1 ,5% .The alkaline oxides Na 2 O and K 2 O make it easier to melt the glass and adjust its viscosity at high temperatures. K 2 0 is advantageously used with contents of less than 1.5%.
Les oxydes alcalino-terreux introduits dans les verres selon l'invention ont pour effet globalement d'élever la viscosité aux températures élevées. La teneur en CaO ne doit pas excéder 1 0% pour maintenir la dévitrification des verres dans des limites acceptables. Celle en MgO est avantageusement inférieure à 4% pour des raisons similaires et en outre pour améliorer les propriétés d'absorption dans l'infrarouge. BaO qui permet d'augmenter la transmission lumineuse, peut être ajouté dans les compositions selon l'invention dans des teneurs inférieures à 4%. En effet, BaO a une influence beaucoup plus faible que MgO et CaO sur la viscosité du verre. Dans le cadre de l'invention, l'augmentation de BaO se fait essentiellement au détriment des oxydes alcalins, de MgO et surtout de CaO. Toute augmentation importante de BaO contribue donc à augmenter la viscosité du verre, notamment aux basses températures. De surcroît, l'introduction d'un pourcentage élevé de BaO majore sensiblement le coût de la composition et a tendance à réduire la résistance hydrolytique du verre. Lorsque les verres de l'invention contiennent de l'oxyde de baryum, le pourcentage de cet oxyde est, de préférence, compris entre 0,5 et 3,5% en poids.The alkaline earth oxides introduced into the glasses according to the invention have the overall effect of increasing the viscosity at high temperatures. The CaO content must not exceed 10% in order to keep the devitrification of the glasses within acceptable limits. That in MgO is advantageously less than 4% for similar reasons and in addition to improve the absorption properties in the infrared. BaO which makes it possible to increase the light transmission, can be added in the compositions according to the invention in contents of less than 4%. Indeed, BaO has a much weaker influence than MgO and CaO on the viscosity of the glass. In the context of the invention, the increase in BaO takes place essentially to the detriment of alkaline oxides, MgO and especially CaO. Any significant increase in BaO therefore contributes to increasing the viscosity of the glass, in particular at low temperatures. In addition, the introduction of a high percentage of BaO appreciably increases the cost of the composition and tends to reduce the hydrolytic resistance of the glass. When the glasses of the invention contain barium oxide, the percentage of this oxide is preferably between 0.5 and 3.5% by weight.
Les compositions de verre selon l'invention peuvent encore comporter l'oxyde B2O3. La teneur en B2O3 n'excède alors pas 2% car, au-delà de cette valeur, la volatilisation du bore en présence d'oxydes alcalins lors de l'élaboration du verre peut devenir non négligeable et peut conduire à une corrosion des réfractaires dans le cas des techniques de fusion classiques. En outre, des teneurs plus élevées en B2O3 nuisent à la qualité du verre.The glass compositions according to the invention can also comprise the oxide B 2 O 3 . The B 2 O 3 content then does not exceed 2% because, beyond this value, the volatilization of boron in the presence of alkaline oxides during the production of the glass can become non-negligible and can lead to corrosion refractory in the case of conventional fusion techniques. In addition, higher levels of B 2 O 3 adversely affect the quality of the glass.
Selon une première variante de réalisation, la teneur en fer totale est telle que Fe2O3 > 1 %. Une telle réalisation est notamment favorable lorsque la transmission lumineuse recherchée n'est pas trop importante, par exemple dans le cas de vitrages latéraux ou bien de toits pour automobiles, ou bien encore par exemple, lorsque les exigences concernant la transmission lumineuse sont plus importantes par exemple dans le cas de pare-brise ou bien de lunettes arrières réalisés avec des verres plus minces.According to a first alternative embodiment, the total iron content is such that Fe 2 O 3 > 1%. Such an embodiment is particularly favorable when the desired light transmission is not too great, for example in the case of side glazing or else of automobile roofs, or even for example, when the requirements concerning the light transmission are greater by example in the case of windshield or rear glasses made with thinner lenses.
Selon une autre variante de réalisation, la teneur en fer total est telle que Fe2O3 < 0,6. Plus particulièrement selon cette dernière variante, la composition de verre selon l'invention comporte en outre un agent fonctionnel absorbant les radiations ultraviolettes tel que CeO2, TiO2, WO3, La2O3, ... ou une combinaison de deux ou plusieurs de ces oxydes. Concernant l'oxyde CeO2, sa teneur pondérale peut aller jusqu'à 2% et de préférence jusqu'à 1 ,5% et est de préférence comprise entre 0,3 et 0,8% en poids. La teneur pondérale en TiO2 peut être comprise entre 0, 1 et 2% et n'excède avantageusement pas 1 ,2%. L'oxyde WO3 peut quant à lui être présent avec des teneurs pondérales comprises entre 0, 1 et 1 ,2%. Ce dernier oxyde sera préféré aux deux autres, car les matières premières qui permettent de l'introduire dans la composition de verre selon l'invention sont plus économiques. La présence de ces agents fonctionnels autorisent aisément des transmissions ultraviolettes inférieures à 1 0%.According to another alternative embodiment, the total iron content is such that Fe 2 O 3 <0.6. More particularly according to this latter variant, the glass composition according to the invention further comprises a functional agent absorbing ultraviolet radiation such as CeO 2 , TiO 2 , WO 3 , La 2 O 3 , ... or a combination of two or several of these oxides. Concerning the CeO 2 oxide, its weight content can range up to 2% and preferably up to 1.5% and is preferably between 0.3 and 0.8% by weight. The weight content of TiO 2 can be between 0, 1 and 2% and does not exceed preferably not 1.2%. WO 3 oxide can be present with weight contents of between 0.1 and 1.2%. The latter oxide will be preferred to the other two, since the raw materials which make it possible to introduce it into the glass composition according to the invention are more economical. The presence of these functional agents easily allows ultraviolet transmissions of less than 10%.
Lorsque la volonté est de réaliser des verres colorés, les compositions de verre peuvent encore comprendre un ou plusieurs agents colorants tels que CoO, Se, Cr2O3, NiO. Les verres selon l'invention peuvent également contenir jusqu'à 1 % d'autres constituants apportés par les impuretés des matières premières vitrifiables et/ou du fait de l'introduction de calcin dans le mélange vitrifiable et/ou provenant de l'utilisation d'agent d'affinage (SO3, Cl, Sb203, As2O3) .When the desire is to produce colored glasses, the glass compositions can also comprise one or more coloring agents such as CoO, Se, Cr 2 O 3 , NiO. The glasses according to the invention may also contain up to 1% of other constituents provided by the impurities of the vitrifiable raw materials and / or due to the introduction of cullet into the vitrifiable mixture and / or originating from the use of 'refining agent (SO 3 , Cl, Sb 2 0 3 , As 2 O 3 ).
Selon une première variante de réalisation et plus particulièrement pour des applications automobiles telles que pare-brises ou vitres latérales avant, le facteur de transmission lumineuse globale sous illuminant A (TLA) est supérieur ou égal à 70%.According to a first alternative embodiment and more particularly for automotive applications such as windshields or front side windows, the overall light transmission factor under illuminant A (T LA ) is greater than or equal to 70%.
Selon une autre variante de réalisation de l'invention et plus particulièrement pour des applications automobiles telles que des vitres latérales arrières et lunettes arrières, le facteur de transmission lumineuse globale sous illuminant A (TLA) est inférieur ou égal à 55%, voire 35%.According to another alternative embodiment of the invention and more particularly for automotive applications such as rear side windows and rear glasses, the overall light transmission factor under illuminant A (T LA ) is less than or equal to 55%, or even 35 %.
Selon une troisième variante de réalisation de l'invention et plus particulièrement pour des applications telles que des toits pour automobiles, le facteur de transmission lumineuse globale sous illuminant A (TLA) est inférieur ou égal à 1 0%.According to a third alternative embodiment of the invention and more particularly for applications such as roofs for cars, the overall light transmission factor under illuminant A (T LA ) is less than or equal to 1 0%.
