Definitions
- the present invention relates to a method of preparing coated foam glass articles and to the articles thereby obtained.
- the foam glass thanks to its intrinsic properties, enables to easily insulate both civil buildings and technological implants without the need of thermal bridges.
- coated foam glass articles having a protective and/or finishing coating, which are suitable for use in the building field (for example as facing materials) and which are cheap and easy to obtain.
- the following technical peculiarities should allow the coating to be also used in the building field: fire resistance; no smoke generation; very low or no superficial adsorption; meteoric water impermeability; low thermal expansion; low density (i.e. up to about 1,3 kg/m 3 ); high resistance to vandalisms, especially by sprayed colors; hygienic surface; possibility of coat-insulation system, high chemical inertness; n liability to frost damage.
- US patent 4,833,015 describes the production of coated foam glass articles, which are constituted by the foam glass itself, an intermediate layer and a glass coating (which is not foamed) .
- coated foam glass articles are prepared by layered deposition of the powdered or granulated components forming each layer followed by firing: the foam glass is produced and coated by a single thermal process.
- the method of the invention involves the deposition, on the foam glass constituting the substrate, of a coating composition comprising as the essential components powdered foam glass, boric oxide, zinc oxide and at least one alkaline metal oxide, particularly sodium oxide, as modifier oxides.
- the coating composition is laid as a layer typically 0,5-2 mm thick on the foam glass substrate in the form of a suspension (slurry) in a vehicle consisting an organic binder, such as for example acetone, and then it is subjected to a thermal firing treatment so as to produce a glass, glass-ceramic or glass and glass-ceramic matrix composite coating layer adhering to the substrate.
- a suspension slurry
- organic binder such as for example acetone
- the coating composition is prepared by milling the solid components to a mean particle size lower than 63 ⁇ m, preferably comprised between 10 and 20- ⁇ m, in order to obtain a mixture of powders. Such mixture is then suspended or dispersed in a binder. Typically the suspension comprises from 40 to 60 weight % of dry solids, the balance to 100 consisting of the binder.
- the application of the coating to the substrate can be carried out by means of conventional techniques, generally with a thickness comprised between 0,5 and 2 mm.
- the firing heat treatment is typically carried out in an oven at a temperature comprised between 500 0 C and 650 0 C, for a period of time of about 30-60 minutes.
- the firing temperature is selected in dependence on ,the chemical-physical characteristics of the foam glass substrate and of the slurry, and is lower than the glass transition temperature (Tg) of the substrate.
- Tg glass transition temperature
- the mixture of foam glass and modifier oxides comprises the following essential components:
- the mixture can comprise other components in addition to the essential ones cited above, for example other known fluidizing agents, as well as oxides of other alkaline or alkaline-earth metals, for example lithium oxides.
- the mixture can also contain pigments or dyes and therefore it allows the production of foam glasses coated in several chromatic shades.
- the percentages of the aforesaid components are selected so as to achieve a coating having a Tg and/or a linear coefficient of thermal expansion which is lower or substantially the same as thatof the foam glass substrate being used. It is also preferred that • the linear coefficient of thermal expansion of the coating is not lower by more than 10% than the linear coefficient of thermal expansion of the substrate.
- any glass composition generally employed for the preparation of foam glasses may be used. However, it would be preferred to use a foam glass having the same physical properties and/or the same chemical composition as the foam glass used as the substrate, so as to ensure a good interface behaviour of the two materials and to avoid any separation in the case of high temperature excursions.
- the components of the coating mixture are all not toxic for the body.
- Such a mixture is preferably free from lead oxide, since this material, although providing very low-melting mixtures, would be very dangerous during processing because it is highly toxic for the body.
- Boron oxide (B2O3) is currently an essential component of thermal shock resistant glasses and enamels. It makes the glass shining and improves the aesthetic appearance.
- boron oxide In order to introduce boron oxide into the glasses, it is possible to make use of industrial products obtained by chemical transformation of natural occurring boron ores, for example anhydrous borax (Na 2 B 4 O 7 ) , borax penta- and decahydrate, boric acid (H 3 BO 3 ) or boron oxide.
- Zinc oxide is introduced into the vitrifiable mixture as such or as a carbonate. This oxide allows to reduce the coefficient of thermal expansion, to affect the thermal shock resistance and to improve the chemical resistance of the glasses. It is employed in the composition of opaque glasses and in cadmium selenide coloured glasses, where it plays a crucial role to the development of the red colour of glasses.
- Sodium oxide ensures fusibility of glass; moreover, its use results in a modification of the viscosity, density, thermal expansion and mechanical and chemical resistance of the glass.
- This component can be introduced for example as sodium carbonate.
- coated foam glass articles of the present invention are suitable for use as a tiled thermal insulation of civil and industrial buildings (external side) , or for internal coating of any "special premises or equipment” (swimming pools, ice- skating rinks, shops, premises which are highly exposed to chemical attack, pipes for aeriform substances and fluids, galleries, stations, tunnels, etc.) .
- the said articles may be produced in the shape of sheets or blocks, or as panels obtained for example by junction of a plurality of single sheets before the application of the coating.
- the coating composition employed in the coating method of the present invention can be used as the butt joint material of the foam glass sheets or blocks.
- a coated foam glass has been prepared using as the substrate a foam glass having the following composition:
- the substrate has been coated with a coating composition comprising:
- the above coating composition has been powdered by- milling the various components. Subsequently, the milled material has been prepared in the form of a slurry, using acetone as the organic binder, and deposited on the foam glass substrate. The foam glass substrate together with the coating layer were subjected to thermal treatment at 550 0 C for a period of 40 minutes.
- the glass thereby produced proved to be suitable for obtaining good coatings in that, thanks to its melting temperature which is not too high, it avoids softening of the foam glass during the heat treatment in oven.
