Definitions
- the present invention relates to a method for depositing an electric busbar on vehicle plastic panes with a heating function by means of the fine powder coating (FPC) plasma process.
- FPC fine powder coating
- vehicle lighting can also be impaired at low ambient temperatures, especially in winter.
- Snow, ice or condensed humidity can accumulate on the outside of the cover of the vehicle light.
- Humidity can also condense and freeze on the inside of the luminaire cover. This reduces the transparency of the luminaire cover and reduces the functionality of the lighting.
- Road safety is adversely affected.
- vehicle headlights were primarily equipped with halogen lamps or xenon lamps. These lamps generate considerable heat during operation. The heat is transferred to the lamp cover and leads to the defrosting and / or drying of the lamp cover.
- vehicle headlights have been reinforced with light-emitting diodes (LED), which generate significantly less heat during operation. Active heating of the luminaire cover is therefore required to remove moisture and ice.
- LED light-emitting diodes
- Vehicle windows including light covers, which have an active heating function and which essentially consist of plastic, are known.
- a polymer vehicle glazing made of plastic which has an outer side, ie a side facing the surroundings, and an inner side, ie a side facing the vehicle interior.
- the vehicle glazing has a partially transparent polymeric material phase on the outside and an opaque polymeric material phase on its inside.
- the opaque polymeric material phase is injected in at least one section of the partially transparent polymeric material phase by multi-component injection molding.
- a polymer vehicle window which has an inner, opaque polymeric material phase and an outer, partially transparent, polymeric material phase, which are connected to one another over a large area.
- the inner, opaque, polymeric material phase has at least one at least partially continuous recess.
- An LED arrangement which comprises at least one LED, a circuit board (PCB) and an electrical contact, is arranged in the recess. The LED array is placed so that the LED is placed towards the outer transparent array.
- a heatable lamp cover which has at least one polymeric disk base body and a first busbar, a second busbar and at least two conductor tracks which are arranged on the inside of the polymeric disk base body. Each conductor track is electrically connected to the first busbar and to the second busbar.
- a polymeric workpiece which comprises at least an upper major surface and a lower major surface, an injection mold parting surface and a fluting edge surface.
- the approach edge surface in the area between the injection molding tool separation surface and the lower main surface is formed as a planar surface with an angle alpha to the injection molding tool separation surface of 20 ° to 70 ° and / or deviates by an amount a of 0.0 mm to 0.5 mm from the planar surface.
- the polymer workpiece is used as a disk, as a component of a disk or as a plastic cover for means of transport for traffic on land, in the air or on water, in particular as a rear, windshield, side and roof window and as a light cover, decorative strip and / or as the roof of cars, trucks, buses, trams, subways, trains and motorcycles.
- a polymeric panel system which comprises a transparent polymeric panel and an electrically conductive grid.
- the panel system comprises a substrate, the electrically conductive grid being arranged in such a way that it rests on the substrate.

- an electrical connection which comprises a plastic part and an electrically conductive part, is attached to the polymeric panel by ultrasonic welding of the plastic part.
- the electrically conductive part of the panel is in electrical contact with the electrical connection of the grid.
- the disadvantage here is that the entire arrangement is comparatively complex and expensive to manufacture.
- the arrangement comprises a transparent panel and a de-icing grille, which is formed together with the transparent panel with the aid of an automatic spray gun.
- the defrost grille includes first and second Busbars and a plurality of electrically conductive conductor tracks extending between the first and second busbars.
- a plastic pane with a de-icing device which comprises a grid of electrically conductive conductor tracks which is produced by printing the transparent plastic pane with an electrically conductive ink.
- the electrically conductive ink has a sheet resistance of less than 8 milliohm ⁇ @ 25.4 ⁇ m (note: the name was taken from the patent application).
- the busbars and in some cases the conductor tracks are produced with electrically conductive inks. Due to the heat sensitivity of the plastic panes, these inks cannot be hardened at temperatures> 300 ° Celsius, as is possible with glass windows, but only at temperatures ⁇ 300 ° Celsius. As a result, the cured busbars and conductor tracks on the plastic panes do not easily achieve the same electrical conductivity as busbars and conductor tracks on glass, but additional measures must be taken, such as the use of special inks and / or treatment with high-energy current pulses to achieve this.

Description
Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft ein Verfahren zur Abscheidung einer elektrischen Stromsammelschiene auf Fahrzeug-Kunststoffscheiben mit Heizfunktion mittels des Fine Powder Coating(FPC)-Plasmaverfahrens.The present invention relates to a method for depositing an electric busbar on vehicle plastic panes with a heating function by means of the fine powder coating (FPC) plasma process.
Im Zuge immer strengerer Vorgaben zur Kohlendioxidemission von Kraftfahrzeugen gibt es starke Bestrebungen, das Gewicht eines Fahrzeugs und damit dessen Treibstoffverbrauch zu senken. Stetige Weiterentwicklungen im Bereich der Kunststoffe ermöglichen den Ersatz von großen Teilen der Metallkarosserie durch entsprechend leichtere Elemente aus polymeren Werkstoffen. Insbesondere Teile oder auch der gesamte Fensterbereich können durch Elemente aus polymeren Werkstoffen ersetzt werden. Diese zeigen in vielen Fällen bei einem deutlich niedrigeren Gewicht eine vergleichbare Härte, Stabilität und Belastbarkeit wie bei einem Karosseriefenster aus Glas. Zusätzlich wird auf Grund der Gewichtsreduzierung der Schwerpunkt des Fahrzeugs weiter nach unten verlagert, was einen positiven Einfluss auf das Fahrverhalten hat. Zudem können polymere Werkstoffe im Vergleich zu Glas bei deutlich niedrigeren Temperaturen hergestellt, bearbeitet und verformt werden. Dies senkt den Energiebedarf und die Kosten bei der Herstellung der Werkstoffe. Formteile aus polymeren Werkstoffen können dabei in praktisch jeder gewünschten Form und Geometrie hergestellt werden. Spezielle Hochleistungskunststoffe wie Aramide, beispielsweise Kevlar weisen sehr hohe Festigkeiten und Stabilitäten auf.In the course of ever more stringent requirements for carbon dioxide emissions from motor vehicles, there are strong efforts to reduce the weight of a vehicle and thus its fuel consumption. Constant further developments in the field of plastics enable the replacement of large parts of the metal body with correspondingly lighter elements made of polymer materials. In particular, parts or the entire window area can be replaced by elements made of polymer materials. In many cases, with a significantly lower weight, these show a comparable hardness, stability and resilience as a body window made of glass. In addition, due to the weight reduction, the center of gravity of the vehicle is shifted further down, which has a positive influence on the driving behavior. In addition, polymer materials can be manufactured, processed and shaped at significantly lower temperatures than glass. This lowers the energy requirement and the costs of manufacturing the materials. Molded parts made of polymeric materials can be produced in practically any desired shape and geometry. Special high-performance plastics such as aramids, for example Kevlar, have very high strength and stability.
Die Wirksamkeit einer Fahrzeugbeleuchtung kann bei niedrigen Umgebungstemperaturen, insbesondere im Winter ebenfalls beeinträchtigt werden. Schnee, Eis oder kondensierte Luftfeuchtigkeit können sich auf der Außenseite der Abdeckung der Fahrzeugleuchte anlagern. An der Innenseite der Leuchtenabdeckung kann ebenfalls Luftfeuchtigkeit kondensieren und einfrieren. Dadurch wird die Transparenz der Leuchtenabdeckung herabgesetzt und die Funktionalität der Beleuchtung vermindert. Die Sicherheit im Straßenverkehr wird nachteilig beeinflusst. Fahrzeugscheinwerfer wurden früher vorrangig mit Halogenlampen oder Xenonlampen ausgerüstet. Diese Lampen entwickeln im Betrieb erhebliche Wärme. Die Wärme wird auf die Leuchtenabdeckung übertragen und führt zum Abtauen und/oder Trocknen der Leuchtenabdeckung. Neuerdings werden Fahrzeugscheinwerfer verstärkt mit Leuchtdioden (LED) ausgerüstet, die im Betrieb deutlich weniger Wärme erzeugen. Zum Entfernen von Feuchtigkeit und Eis ist deshalb eine aktive Beheizung der Leuchtenabdeckung erforderlich.The effectiveness of vehicle lighting can also be impaired at low ambient temperatures, especially in winter. Snow, ice or condensed humidity can accumulate on the outside of the cover of the vehicle light. Humidity can also condense and freeze on the inside of the luminaire cover. This reduces the transparency of the luminaire cover and reduces the functionality of the lighting. Road safety is adversely affected. In the past, vehicle headlights were primarily equipped with halogen lamps or xenon lamps. These lamps generate considerable heat during operation. The heat is transferred to the lamp cover and leads to the defrosting and / or drying of the lamp cover. Recently, vehicle headlights have been reinforced with light-emitting diodes (LED), which generate significantly less heat during operation. Active heating of the luminaire cover is therefore required to remove moisture and ice.
Viele Werkstoffteile aus Kunststoffen müssen verschiedenen Anforderungen und Funktionen gerecht werden. Wichtige Parameter sind hierbei die Stabilität, Bruchverhalten, Kratzfestigkeit, Schlagzähigkeit oder Kerbschlagzähigkeit. Neben technischen Gesichtspunkten wie Gewicht und Festigkeit der einzelnen Materialphasen spielen auch die Form, Geometrie und das Aussehen eine zunehmend wichtigere Rolle. Vor allem in der Automobilindustrie sind neben mechanischen Eigenschaften auch Merkmale im Bereich des Designs und der Ästhetik von großer Bedeutung. Um verschiedene Merkmale in polymeren Werkstoffen zu vereinen, werden diese aus unterschiedlich geformten und aus unterschiedlich beschaffenen Grundmaterialien zusammengesetzt. Etablierte Verfahren zur Herstellung dieser Werkstoffe umfassen Zwei- oder Mehrkomponentenspritzgussverfahren. Auf diese Art und Weise ist es möglich, Merkmale wie beispielsweise Witterungsbeständigkeit, Oberflächenglanz und Bruchbeständigkeit oder Torsionsstabilität miteinander zu vereinen. Zudem können die Anteile sehr teurer Werkstoffe reduziert werden.Many material parts made of plastics have to meet various requirements and functions. Important parameters here are stability, fracture behavior, scratch resistance, impact strength or notched impact strength. In addition to technical aspects such as weight and strength of the individual material phases, shape, geometry and appearance also play an increasingly important role. In the automotive industry in particular, mechanical properties as well as design and aesthetic features are of great importance. In order to combine different characteristics in polymeric materials, these are composed of differently shaped and differently made basic materials. Established processes for the production of these materials include two- or multi-component injection molding processes. In this way it is possible to combine features such as weather resistance, surface gloss and break resistance or torsional stability. In addition, the proportions of very expensive materials can be reduced.
Fahrzeugscheiben, inklusive Leuchtenabdeckungen, die eine aktive Heizfunktion aufweisen und die im Wesentlichen aus Kunststoff bestehen, sind bekannt.Vehicle windows, including light covers, which have an active heating function and which essentially consist of plastic, are known.

Einigen der bekannten Kunststoffscheiben ist gemeinsam, dass die Stromsammelschienen und zum Teil die Leiterbahnen mit elektrisch leitfähigen Tinten hergestellt werden. Diese Tinten können wegen der Hitzeempfindlichkeit der Scheiben aus Kunststoff nicht bei Temperaturen >300 °Celsius, wie dies bei Glasfenstern möglich ist, gehärtet werden, sondern nur bei Temperaturen <300 °Celsius. Dieses hat zur Folge, dass die ausgehärteten Stromsammelschienen und Leiterbahnen auf den Kunststoffscheiben nicht ohne Weiteres die elektrische Leitfähigkeit wie Stromsammelschienen und Leiterbahnen auf Glas erreichen, sondern es müssen zusätzliche Maßnahmen getroffen werden, wie etwa die Verwendung spezieller Tinten und/oder die Behandlung mit energiereichen Strompulsen, um dies zu erzielen.Some of the known plastic disks have in common that the busbars and in some cases the conductor tracks are produced with electrically conductive inks. Due to the heat sensitivity of the plastic panes, these inks cannot be hardened at temperatures> 300 ° Celsius, as is possible with glass windows, but only at temperatures <300 ° Celsius. As a result, the cured busbars and conductor tracks on the plastic panes do not easily achieve the same electrical conductivity as busbars and conductor tracks on glass, but additional measures must be taken, such as the use of special inks and / or treatment with high-energy current pulses to achieve this.

In einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform der erfindungsgemäß herzustellenden Fahrzeug-Kunststoffscheibe wird die Anordnung, umfassend mindestens einen Hardcoat, mindestens zwei Heizdrähte und mindestens eine erste und mindestens eine zweite Stromsammelschiene auf der im eingebauten Zustand Innenseite des Scheibengrundkörpers hergestellt. In einer besonders bevorzugten Ausführungsform ist jeder Heizdraht mit der ersten und der zweiten Stromsammelschiene elektrisch verbunden und wird unabhängig von den übrigen Leiterbahnen mit Spannung versorgt, so dass die Beschädigung eines Heizdrahtes nicht zu einem kompletten Ausfall der Beheizung der Fahrzeug-Kunststoffscheibe führt.In a preferred embodiment of the vehicle plastic window to be produced according to the invention, the arrangement comprising at least one hardcoat, at least two heating wires and at least one first and at least one second busbar is produced on the inside of the window body when installed. In a particularly preferred embodiment, each heating wire is electrically connected to the first and second busbars and is supplied with voltage independently of the other conductor tracks, so that damage to a heating wire does not lead to a complete failure of the heating of the vehicle plastic window.
Im Rahmen der vorliegenden Erfindung bedeutet »Innenseite« diejenige Seite der Fahrzeug-Kunststoffscheibe, die einem Innenraum, insbesondere eines Fahrzeugs, und/oder einer Lichtquelle, insbesondere eines Fahrzeugs, zugekehrt ist. Im Gegensatz dazu bedeutet im Rahmen der vorliegenden Erfindung »Außenseite« diejenige Seite der Fahrzeug-Kunststoffscheibe, die der Umgebung zugewandt ist.In the context of the present invention, “inside” means that side of the vehicle plastic pane which faces an interior, in particular of a vehicle, and / or a light source, in particular of a vehicle. In contrast to this, in the context of the present invention, “outside” means that side of the vehicle plastic window that faces the surroundings.
In einer weiteren bevorzugten Ausführungsform der erfindungsgemäß herzustellenden Fahrzeug-Kunststoffscheibe wird der teiltransparente, polymere Scheibengrundkörper mit einer opaken Beschichtung dergestalt ausgerüstet, dass die Stromsammelschienen zumindest in Richtung der Außenseite der Fahrzeug-Kunststoffscheibe abgedeckt sind.In a further preferred embodiment of the vehicle plastic pane to be produced according to the invention, the partially transparent, polymeric pane base body is equipped with an opaque coating in such a way that the busbars are covered at least towards the outside of the vehicle plastic pane.
In noch einer weiteren bevorzugten Ausführungsform werden die Heizdrähte teilweise auf der opaken Beschichtung und teilweise auf dem transparenten, polymeren Scheibengrundkörper dergestalt aufgebracht, dass sie in den betreffenden Oberflächen eingebettet sind.In yet another preferred embodiment, the heating wires are applied partly to the opaque coating and partly to the transparent, polymeric disk base body in such a way that they are embedded in the relevant surfaces.
In noch einer weiteren bevorzugten Ausführungsform wird ein ein- und/oder zweischichtiger Hardcoat auf

- their inside on the surface of the transparent, polymeric disk base body and the surface of the busbars
Dabei weist der zweischichtige Hardcoat noch einen Basecoat, der von dem Hardcoat bedeckt ist, auf.The two-layer hardcoat also has a basecoat that is covered by the hardcoat.
Die vorstehend beschriebenen Fahrzeug-Kunststoffscheiben werden mithilfe des erfindungsgemäßen Verfahrens hergestellt.The vehicle plastic panes described above are produced with the aid of the method according to the invention.
Im ersten Verfahrensschritt des erfindungsgemäßen Verfahrens wird der transparente, polymere Grundkörper bereitgestellt. Er weist die für die jeweilige Anwendungsform der Kraftfahrzeug-Kunststoffscheibe geeignete, typischerweise gebogene, Form auf. Er muss daher vor dem Verbinden mit den übrigen Komponenten der Fahrzeug-Kunststoffscheibe nicht weiter umgeformt werden. Allerdings sind Bearbeitungsschritte, die nicht mit einer Änderung der Biegung des Scheibengrundkörpers einhergehen, z.B. die Herstellung von Bohrungen, Fräsungen oder Beschneidungen, im Randbereich im Rahmen des erfindungsgemäßen Verfahrens möglich.In the first process step of the process according to the invention, the transparent, polymeric base body is provided. It has the typically curved shape that is suitable for the particular application of the motor vehicle plastic window. It therefore does not have to be further reshaped before it is connected to the other components of the vehicle plastic pane. However, processing steps that are not accompanied by a change in the bending of the disk base body, e.g. the production of bores, millings or trims, are possible in the edge area within the scope of the method according to the invention.
Der transparente, polymere Scheibengrundkörper wird erfindungsgemäß bereitgestellt, bevor die Heizdrähte aufgebracht werden. Die Heizdrähte werden daher nicht während der Verformung des Scheibengrundkörpers belastet. Der besondere Vorteil liegt in der Vermeidung von Beschädigungen der Heizdrähte und/oder ihrer elektrischen Kontaktierung. Durch die erste und die zweite Stromsammelschiene wird zudem eine stabile elektrische Kontaktierung jedes einzelnen Heizdrahtes bereitgestellt.According to the invention, the transparent, polymeric disk base body is provided before the heating wires are applied. The heating wires are therefore not loaded during the deformation of the disk base body. The particular advantage lies in the avoidance of damage to the heating wires and / or their electrical contact. The first and second busbars also provide stable electrical contact with each individual heating wire.
Der transparente, polymere Scheibengrundkörper kann durch alle geeigneten, dem Fachmann bekannten Methoden der Kunststoffverarbeitung, beispielsweise durch Thermoformen, hergestellt werden. In einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform des erfindungsgemäßen Verfahrens wird der transparente, polymere Scheibengrundkörper durch Spritzgießen oder durch das Zweikomponenten-Spritzprägeverfahren mit Wendeplattentechnologie hergestellt. Diese Verfahren ermöglichen die Herstellung einer größeren Anzahl an geeigneten Formen. Zudem kann der transparente, polymere Scheibengrundkörper nahezu abfallfrei hergestellt werden, weil ein nachträgliches Beschneiden des Werkstücks nicht notwendig ist. Ebenso können komplexe Oberflächenstrukturen direkt hergestellt werden.The transparent, polymeric disk base body can be produced by all suitable plastics processing methods known to those skilled in the art, for example by thermoforming. In a preferred embodiment of the method according to the invention, the transparent, polymeric disk base body is produced by injection molding or by the two-component injection-compression molding process using reversible plate technology. These methods allow a greater number of suitable shapes to be made. In addition, the transparent, polymeric base body can be produced with virtually no waste because subsequent trimming of the workpiece is not necessary. Complex surface structures can also be produced directly.
Der transparente, polymere Scheibengrundkörper enthält bevorzugt zumindest Polyethylen (PE), Polycarbonate (PC), Polypropylen (PP), Polystyrol, Polybutadien, Polynitrile, Polyester, insbesondere Polyethylenterephthalat (PET), Polyurethane (PU), Polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA), Polyacrylate, Polyamide (PA), Acrylnitril-Butadien-Styrol-Copolymerisate (ABS), Styrol-Acrylnitril-Copolymerisate (SAN), Acrylester-Styrol-Acrylnitril-Copolymerisate (ASA), Acrylnitril-Butadien-Styrol-Polycarbonat-Blends (ABS/PC) und/oder ihre Copolymerisate, Cokondensate und/oder ihre Blends.The transparent, polymeric pane base preferably contains at least polyethylene (PE), polycarbonates (PC), polypropylene (PP), polystyrene, polybutadiene, polynitriles, polyesters, in particular polyethylene terephthalate (PET), polyurethanes (PU), polymethyl methacrylates (PMMA), polyacrylates, polyamides (PA), acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene copolymers (ABS), styrene-acrylonitrile copolymers (SAN), acrylic ester-styrene-acrylonitrile copolymers (ASA), acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene-polycarbonate blends (ABS / PC) and / or their copolymers, cocondensates and / or their blends.
Besonders bevorzugt enthält der transparente, polymere Scheibengrundkörper Polycarbonat (PC) und/oder Polymethylmethacrylat (PMMA) oder besteht aus diesen Polymeren. Diese erweisen sich im Hinblick auf die Transparenz, die Verarbeitung, die Festigkeit, die Witterungsbeständigkeit und die chemische Beständigkeit als besonders vorteilhaft.The transparent, polymeric pane base body particularly preferably contains polycarbonate (PC) and / or polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) or consists of these polymers. These prove to be particularly advantageous in terms of transparency, processing, strength, weather resistance and chemical resistance.
Der teiltransparente, polymere Scheibengrundkörper weist bevorzugt eine Dicke von 2 mm bis 6 mm auf. Das ist besonders vorteilhaft im Hinblick auf die Festigkeit und die Verarbeitung des polymeren Scheibengrundkörpers. Die Größe des teiltransparenten, polymeren Scheibengrundkörpers kann breit variieren und richtet sich nach der erfindungsgemäßen Verwendung.The partially transparent, polymeric disk base body preferably has a thickness of 2 mm to 6 mm. This is particularly advantageous with regard to the strength and processing of the polymeric disk base body. The size of the partially transparent, polymeric disk base body can vary widely and depends on the use according to the invention.
Der teiltransparente, polymere Scheibengrundkörper ist erfindungsgemäß zumindest bereichsweise transparent. Der polymere Scheibengrundkörper kann farblos, gefärbt oder getönt sein. Der polymere Scheibengrundkörper kann klar oder trüb sein, insbesondere aber klar.According to the invention, the partially transparent, polymeric disk base body is at least partially transparent. The polymeric disk base body can be colorless, colored or tinted. The polymeric disk base body can be clear or cloudy, but in particular clear.
Die Heizdrähte verlaufen bevorzugt geradlinig zwischen der ersten und der zweiten Stromsammelschiene. Die Heizdrähte können aber auch beispielsweise wellenartig, mäanderartig oder in Form eines Zick-Zack-Musters zwischen der ersten und der zweiten Stromsammelschiene verlaufen. Der Abstand zweier benachbarter Heizdrähte ist bevorzugt über die gesamte Länge der Leiterbahnen konstant. Der Abstand zweier benachbarter Heizdrähte kann sich aber auch im Verlauf zwischen der ersten und der zweiten Stromsammelschiene ändern.The heating wires preferably run in a straight line between the first and second busbars. The heating wires can, however, also run, for example, in a wave-like, meander-like manner or in the form of a zig-zag pattern between the first and second busbars. The distance between two adjacent heating wires is preferably constant over the entire length of the conductor tracks. The distance between two adjacent heating wires can, however, also change in the course between the first and the second busbar.
Die Heizdrähte können in jeder beliebigen Richtung verlaufen, bevorzugt aber horizontal oder vertikal.The heating wires can run in any direction, but preferably horizontally or vertically.
Die Heizdrähte werden bevorzugt mittels Ultraschall-Einbettung auf den teiltransparenten, polymeren Scheibengrundkörper und, sofern vorhanden, auf der opaken Beschichtung aufgebracht. Dabei wird eine Sonotrode bevorzugt mit einem mehrachsigen Roboter über ein an die dreidimensionale Geometrie des teiltransparenten polymeren Scheibengrundkörpers angepasstes Roboterprogramm über die Innenseite des teiltransparenten, polymeren Scheibengrundkörpers geführt. Die Sonotrode überträgt von einem Ultraschall-Generator erzeugte, hochfrequente mechanische Schwingungen (Ultraschall) auf den teiltransparenten, polymeren Scheibengrundkörper und, sofern vorhanden, auf die opake Beschichtung. Dabei wird Wärme erzeugt und eine Oberflächenschicht der Innenseite des teiltransparenten, polymeren Scheibengrundkörpers angeschmolzen. Die Heizdrähte werden in die angeschmolzene Oberflächenschicht eingebracht. Dazu führt die Sonotrode einen Heizdraht an ihrer Spitze, wobei der Heizdraht über eine Drahtrolle nahe der Sonotrode kontinuierlich nachgespeist wird. Ein als Sonotrode geeignetes Werkzeug ist beispielsweise aus
Die Eindringtiefe der Heizdrähte in den teiltransparenten polymeren Scheibengrundkörper sowie gegebenenfalls in die opake Beschichtung beträgt bevorzugt von 50 % bis 90 %, besonders bevorzugt von 60 % bis 75 % der Dicke der Heizdrähte. Das unkomplizierte Aufbringen der Heizdrähte mittels Ultraschall-Einbettung ist besonders vorteilhaft im Hinblick auf eine stabile Verbindung zwischen den Heizdrähten und dem teiltransparenten, polymeren Scheibengrundkörper sowie gegebenenfalls der opaken Beschichtung.The depth of penetration of the heating wires into the partially transparent polymeric base body and optionally into the opaque coating is preferably from 50% to 90%, particularly preferably from 60% to 75% of the thickness of the heating wires. The uncomplicated application of the heating wires by means of ultrasonic embedding is particularly advantageous with regard to a stable connection between the heating wires and the partially transparent, polymeric base body and, if applicable, the opaque coating.
Der Abstand zwischen zwei benachbarten Heizdrähten beträgt bevorzugt von 1 mm bis 25 mm, besonders bevorzugt 3 mm bis 15 mm. Das ist besonders vorteilhaft im Hinblick auf die Transparenz der Fahrzeug-Kunststoffscheibe und die Verteilung der über die Heizdrähte eingebrachten Heizleistung. Die Länge der Heizdrähte kann breit variieren und so leicht den Erfordernissen im Einzelfall angepasst werden. Die Heizdrähte weisen beispielsweise Längen von 5 cm bis 50 cm auf.The distance between two adjacent heating wires is preferably from 1 mm to 25 mm, particularly preferably 3 mm to 15 mm. This is particularly advantageous with regard to the transparency of the vehicle plastic pane and the distribution of the heating power introduced via the heating wires. The length of the heating wires can vary widely and can thus easily be adapted to the requirements of the individual case. The heating wires have lengths of 5 cm to 50 cm, for example.
Die Heizdrähte enthalten zumindest ein Metall, bevorzugt Wolfram, Kupfer, Nickel, Mangan, Aluminium, Silber, Chrom und / oder Eisen, sowie Gemische und/oder Legierungen davon. Die Heizdrähte enthalten besonders bevorzugt Wolfram und/oder Kupfer. Damit wird eine besonders gute Heizwirkung erzielt. Die Dicke der Heizdrähte beträgt bevorzugt von 15 µm bis 200 µm, besonders bevorzugt von 25 µm bis 90 µm. Das ist besonders vorteilhaft im Hinblick auf die Transparenz der Fahrzeug-Kunststoffscheibe, die eingebrachte Heizleistung und die Vermeidung von Kurzschlüssen.The heating wires contain at least one metal, preferably tungsten, copper, nickel, manganese, aluminum, silver, chromium and / or iron, as well as mixtures and / or alloys thereof. The heating wires particularly preferably contain tungsten and / or copper. A particularly good heating effect is achieved in this way. The thickness of the heating wires is preferably 15 μm up to 200 µm, particularly preferably from 25 µm to 90 µm. This is particularly advantageous with regard to the transparency of the vehicle plastic pane, the heating power introduced and the avoidance of short circuits.
Es hat sich gezeigt, dass besonders gute Ergebnisse mit Heizdrähten erzielt werden, die Wolfram enthalten und eine Dicke von bevorzugt 15 µm bis 100 µm, besonders bevorzugt von 25 µm bis 50 µm aufweisen. Besonders gute Ergebnisse werden ebenfalls mit Heizdrähten erzielt, die Kupfer enthalten und eine Dicke von bevorzugt 25 µm bis 200 µm, besonders bevorzugt 60 µm bis 90 µm aufweisen.It has been shown that particularly good results are achieved with heating wires which contain tungsten and have a thickness of preferably 15 μm to 100 μm, particularly preferably 25 μm to 50 μm. Particularly good results are also achieved with heating wires which contain copper and have a thickness of preferably 25 μm to 200 μm, particularly preferably 60 μm to 90 μm.
Benachbarte Heizdrähte können auf der von der zweiten Stromsammelschiene abgewandten Seite der ersten Stromsammelschiene oder auf der von der ersten Stromsammelschiene abgewandten Seite der zweiten Stromsammelschiene miteinander verbunden sein. Die Heizdrähte können so in Form eines einzigen Heizdrahtes auf den teiltransparenten, polymeren Scheibengrundkörper sowie gegebenenfalls auf die opake Beschichtung aufgebracht werden, wobei der Heizdraht nach dem Aufbringen zwei oder mehr Abschnitte umfasst, die als Leiterbahnen vorgesehen und die schleifenartig miteinander verbunden sind. Jeder als Leiterbahn vorgesehene Abschnitt des Heizdrahtes wird im Bereich eines Endes mit der ersten Stromsammelschiene und im Bereich des anderen Endes mit der zweiten Stromsammelschiene verbunden. Jeder Abschnitt des Heizdrahtes im Bereich der Stromsammelschienen und zwischen den Stromsammelschienen bildet eine Leiterbahn aus.Adjacent heating wires can be connected to one another on the side of the first busbar facing away from the second busbar or on the side of the second busbar facing away from the first busbar. The heating wires can thus be applied in the form of a single heating wire to the partially transparent, polymeric disk base body and optionally to the opaque coating, the heating wire comprising two or more sections after application, which are provided as conductor tracks and which are connected to one another in a loop-like manner. Each section of the heating wire provided as a conductor track is connected to the first busbar in the area of one end and to the second busbar in the area of the other end. Each section of the heating wire in the area of the busbars and between the busbars forms a conductor path.
Alternativ können benachbarte Heizdrähte auf der von der zweiten Stromsammelschiene abgewandten Seite der ersten Stromsammelschiene und auf der von der ersten Stromsammelschiene abgewandten Seite der zweiten Stromsammelschiene nicht miteinander verbunden sein. Die Leiterbahnen werden so in Form mehrerer Heizdrähte auf den teiltransparenten, polymeren Scheibengrundkörper sowie gegebenenfalls auf die opake Beschichtung aufgebracht, wobei jeder Heizdraht im Bereich eines Endes mit der ersten Stromsammelschiene und im Bereich des anderen Endes mit der zweiten Stromsammelschiene verbunden wird. Jeder Heizdraht umfasst eine Leiterbahn im Bereich der Stromsammelschienen und zwischen den Stromsammelschienen.Alternatively, adjacent heating wires on the side of the first busbar facing away from the second busbar and on the side of the second busbar facing away from the first busbar can not be connected to one another. The conductor tracks are applied in the form of several heating wires to the partially transparent, polymeric disk base body and, if necessary, to the opaque coating, each heating wire being connected to the first busbar in the area of one end and to the second busbar in the area of the other end. Each heating wire comprises a conductor track in the area of the busbars and between the busbars.
Zumindest ein Abschnitt jedes Heizdrahtes ist in den teiltransparenten, polymeren Scheibengrundkörper sowie gegebenenfalls in die opake Beschichtung eingebettet. Die Heizdrähte sind entlang ihrer gesamten Länge in den teiltransparenten polymeren Scheibengrundkörper eingebettet sein. Das ist besonders vorteilhaft im Hinblick auf eine stabileAt least one section of each heating wire is embedded in the partially transparent, polymeric disk base body and, if appropriate, in the opaque coating. The heating wires are embedded in the partially transparent polymeric base body along their entire length. This is particularly advantageous in terms of a stable
Verbindung zwischen dem teiltransparenten, polymeren Scheibengrundkörper und den Heizdrähten. Die elektrische Kontaktierung mit der ersten und der zweiten Stromsammelschiene erfolgt dann auf der vom teiltransparenten, polymeren Scheibengrundkörper sowie gegebenenfalls von der opaken Beschichtung abgewandten Seite der Heizdrähte.Connection between the partially transparent, polymeric base body and the heating wires. The electrical contact with the first and second busbars then takes place on the side of the heating wires facing away from the partially transparent, polymeric disk base body and optionally from the opaque coating.
In einer Ausgestaltung, welche nicht Teil der Erfindung ist, sind die zur elektrischen Kontaktierung mit den Stromsammelschienen vorgesehenen Bereiche an den Enden der Heizdrähte nicht in den teiltransparenten, polymeren Scheibengrundkörper sowie gegebenenfalls der opaken Beschichtung eingebettet und lassen sich von diesen abheben. Der besondere Vorteil liegt in der Möglichkeit einer einfachen und stabilen elektrischen Kontaktierung mit den Stromsammelschienen. Der besondere Vorteil liegt in einer effektiven und sehr stabilen elektrischen Kontaktierung der Heizdrähte. Zur Beheizung der Fahrzeug-Kunststoffscheibe wird an die erste, im eingebauten Zustand untere oder linke Stromsammelschiene und die zweite, im eingebauten Zustand obere oder rechte Stromsammelschiene ein elektrisches Potential angelegt.In one embodiment, which is not part of the invention, the areas provided for electrical contact with the busbars at the ends of the heating wires are not embedded in the partially transparent, polymeric disk base body and optionally the opaque coating and can be lifted off from them. The particular advantage lies in the possibility of a simple and stable electrical contact with the busbars. The particular advantage lies in the effective and very stable electrical contacting of the heating wires. To heat the vehicle plastic window, an electrical potential is applied to the first, in the installed state, lower or left busbar and the second, in the installed state, upper or right busbar.
Erfindungsgemäß werden die erste und die zweite Stromsammelschiene mittels des FPC-Verfahrens appliziert. Dazu wird ein Metallpulver in ein Atmosphärendruckplasma eingeleitet, im Plasmastrahl aufgeschmolzen und auf das zu beschichtende Substrat, umfassend die Heizdrähte sowie den Scheibengrundkörper und/oder gegebenenfalls die opake Beschichtung und/oder gegebenenfalls den Hardcoat, geführt, auf denen sich in der Folge eine Metallschicht abscheidet.According to the invention, the first and the second busbar are applied by means of the FPC method. For this purpose, a metal powder is introduced into an atmospheric pressure plasma, melted in the plasma jet and passed onto the substrate to be coated, comprising the heating wires and the disk base body and / or optionally the opaque coating and / or optionally the hardcoat, on which a metal layer is subsequently deposited .

Die Stromsammelschienen weisen bevorzugt eine Dicke von 10 µm bis 200 µm, besonders bevorzugt von 50 µm bis 100 µm auf. Die Breite einer Stromsammelschiene, entlang derer die Stromsammelschiene mit den Heizdrähten verbunden wird, beträgt bevorzugt von 2 mm bis 100 mm, besonders bevorzugt von 5 mm bis 20 mm. Die Länge der Stromsammelschienen kann breit variieren und so hervorragend den Erfordernissen des Einzelfalls angepasst werden. Die minimale Länge der Stromsammelschienen ergibt sich aus der Anzahl der Heizdrähte und dem Abstand von benachbarten Heizdrähten. Die Länge der Stromsammelschienen beträgt beispielsweise von 5 cm bis 20 cm. Die Stromsammelschienen werden mit einer externen Spannungsversorgung verbunden, so dass eine elektrische Potentialdifferenz zwischen der ersten und der zweiten Stromsammelschiene angelegt werden kann.The busbars preferably have a thickness of 10 μm to 200 μm, particularly preferably 50 μm to 100 μm. The width of a busbar, along which the busbar is connected to the heating wires, is preferably from 2 mm to 100 mm, particularly preferably from 5 mm to 20 mm. The length of the busbars can vary widely and thus be perfectly adapted to the requirements of the individual case. The minimum length of the busbars results from the number of heating wires and the distance from neighboring heating wires. The length of the busbars is, for example, from 5 cm to 20 cm. The busbars are connected to an external voltage supply so that an electrical potential difference can be applied between the first and the second busbar.
Aus ästhetischen Gründen kann es gewünscht sein, dass die elektrische Kontaktierung der Heizdrähte mittels der Stromsammelschienen von außen nicht sichtbar ist. Dazu kann beispielsweise der teiltransparente, polymere Scheibengrundkörper im Bereich der Stromsammelschienen gefärbt oder geschwärzt werden. Der teiltransparente, polymere Scheibengrundkörper kann beispielsweise durch Mehrkomponenten-Spritzgießen hergestellt werden, wobei der teiltransparente polymere Scheibengrundkörper in den Bereichen, auf denen die Stromsammelschienen angeordnet werden sollen, eine opake Beschichtung umfasst, welche die Sicht auf die elektrische Kontaktierung durch den teiltransparenten, polymeren Scheibengrundkörper hindurch verdeckt.For aesthetic reasons, it may be desirable that the electrical contacting of the heating wires by means of the busbars is not visible from the outside. For this purpose, for example, the partially transparent, polymeric disk base body in the area of the busbars can be colored or blackened. The partially transparent, polymeric disk base body can be produced, for example, by multi-component injection molding, the partially transparent polymeric disk base body comprising an opaque coating in the areas on which the busbars are to be arranged, which provides a view of the electrical contact through the partially transparent, polymeric disk base body covered.
Die opake Beschichtung des teiltransparenten, polymeren Scheibengrundkörpers enthält bevorzugt zumindest Polyethylen (PE), Polycarbonate (PC), Polypropylen (PP), Polystyrol, Polybutadien, Polynitrile, Polyester, Polyurethane, Polymethylmethacrylate, Polyacrylate, Polyester, Polyamide, Polyethylenterephthalat, Acrylnitril-Butadien-Styrol (ABS), Styrol-Acrylnitril (SAN), Acrylester-Styrol-Acrylnitril (ASA), Acrylnitril-Butadien-Styrol - Polycarbonat (ABS/PC) und/oder Copolymerisate und Cokondensate oder Gemische davon, besonders bevorzugt Polycarbonate (PC), Polyethylenterephthalat (PET) und/oder Polymethylmethacrylat (PMMA).The opaque coating of the partially transparent, polymeric base body preferably contains at least polyethylene (PE), polycarbonate (PC), polypropylene (PP), polystyrene, polybutadiene, polynitrile, polyester, polyurethane, polymethyl methacrylate, polyacrylate, polyester, polyamide, polyethylene terephthalate, acrylonitrile butadiene Styrene (ABS), styrene-acrylonitrile (SAN), acrylic ester-styrene-acrylonitrile (ASA), acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene - polycarbonate (ABS / PC) and / or copolymers and cocondensates or mixtures thereof, especially preferably polycarbonate (PC), polyethylene terephthalate (PET) and / or polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA).
Die opake Beschichtung des teiltransparenten, polymeren Scheibengrundkörpers enthält bevorzugt zumindest ein Farbmittel. Durch das Farbmittel wird die Opazität der Beschichtung erreicht. Das Farbmittel kann anorganische und/oder organische Farbstoffe und/oder Pigmente enthalten. Das Farbmittel kann bunt oder unbunt sein. Geeignete Farbmittel sind dem Fachmann bekannt und können beispielsweise im Colour Index der British Society of Dyers and Colourists und der American Association of Textile Chemists and Colorists nachgeschlagen werden. Bevorzugt wird ein Schwarz-Pigment als Farbmittel verwendet, beispielsweise Pigmentruß (Carbon Black), Anilinschwarz, Beinschwarz, Eisenoxidschwarz, Spinellschwarz und/oder Graphit. Dadurch wird eine schwarze opake Beschichtung erreicht.The opaque coating of the partially transparent, polymeric base body preferably contains at least one colorant. The opacity of the coating is achieved by the colorant. The colorant can contain inorganic and / or organic dyes and / or pigments. The colorant can be colored or achromatic. Suitable colorants are known to the person skilled in the art and can be looked up , for example, in the Color Index of the British Society of Dyers and Colourists and the American Association of Textile Chemists and Colorists. A black pigment is preferably used as the colorant, for example carbon black, aniline black, bone black, iron oxide black, spinel black and / or graphite. This creates a black, opaque coating.
Die opake Beschichtung kann weiter anorganische oder organische Füllstoffe, besonders bevorzugt SiO2, Al2O3, TiO2, Tonmineralien, Silikate, Zeolithe, Glasfasern, Kohlenstofffasern, Glaskugeln, organische Fasern und/oder Gemische davon enthalten. Die Füllstoffe können die Stabilität der opaken Beschichtung weiter erhöhen. Zudem können die Füllstoffe den Anteil an polymeren Materialien verringern und so die Herstellungskosten der Fahrzeug-Kunststoffscheibe vermindern.The opaque coating can further contain inorganic or organic fillers, particularly preferably SiO 2 , Al 2 O 3 , TiO 2 , clay minerals, silicates, zeolites, glass fibers, carbon fibers, glass spheres, organic fibers and / or mixtures thereof. The fillers can further increase the stability of the opaque coating. In addition, the fillers can reduce the proportion of polymeric materials and thus reduce the production costs of the vehicle plastic window.
Alternativ kann zwischen Stromsammelschiene und teiltransparentem, polymerem Scheibengrundkörper ein gefärbtes oder geschwärztes Element angeordnet werden. Alternativ können Abdecksiebdrucke auf einer Oberfläche des teiltransparenten, polymeren Scheibengrundkörpers aufgebracht werden.Alternatively, a colored or blackened element can be arranged between the busbar and the partially transparent, polymeric disk base body. Alternatively, cover screen prints can be applied to a surface of the partially transparent, polymeric disk base body.
Bei dem erfindungsgemäßen Verfahren wird des Weiteren auf die Außenseite des teiltransparenten, polymeren Scheibengrundkörpers ein ein- oder zweischichtiger Hardcoat als Schutzbeschichtung aufgebracht, um die erfindungsgemäß herzustellende Fahrzeug-Kunststoffscheibe vor Umwelteinflüssen zu schützen. Bevorzugt werden thermisch härtende oder UV-härtende Lacksysteme auf Basis von Polysiloxanen, Polyacrylaten, Polymethacrylaten und/oder Polyurethanen verwendet. Der Hardcoat hat bevorzugt eine Schichtdicke von 1 µm bis 50 µm, besonders bevorzugt von 2 µm bis 25 µm. Der besondere Vorteil liegt in der erhöhten Kratzbeständigkeit und Witterungsbeständigkeit des teiltransparenten, polymeren Scheibengrundkörpers durch die Schutzbeschichtung.In the method according to the invention, a one- or two-layer hardcoat is also applied to the outside of the partially transparent, polymeric window body as a protective coating in order to protect the vehicle plastic window to be produced according to the invention from environmental influences. Thermally curing or UV-curing lacquer systems based on polysiloxanes, polyacrylates, polymethacrylates and / or polyurethanes are preferably used. The hard coat preferably has a layer thickness of 1 μm to 50 μm, particularly preferably 2 μm to 25 μm. The particular advantage lies in the increased scratch resistance and weather resistance of the partially transparent, polymeric base body due to the protective coating.
Im Rahmen der vorliegenden Erfindung bedeutet »zweischichtiger Hardcoat« eine Kombination von mindestens einem, insbesondere einem, Hardcoat mit mindestens einem, insbesondere einem, vom Hardcoat bedeckten, nachstehend näher beschriebenen Basecoat.In the context of the present invention, “two-layer hardcoat” means a combination of at least one, in particular one, hardcoat with at least one, in particular one, basecoat covered by the hardcoat, described in more detail below.
Zusätzlich kann der ein- oder zweischichtige Hardcoat auch auf die Innenseite der erfindungsgemäß herzustellenden Fahrzeug-Kunststoffscheibe appliziert werden. Hierbei kann er unmittelbar auf die Oberfläche des teiltransparenten, polymeren Scheibengrundkörpers und der opaken Beschichtung aufgebracht werden, so dass die Heizdrähte auch in den Hardcoat eingebettet werden und die Stromsammelschienen den Hardcoat bedecken.In addition, the one- or two-layer hardcoat can also be applied to the inside of the vehicle plastic pane to be produced according to the invention. It can be applied directly to the surface of the partially transparent, polymeric disk base body and the opaque coating, so that the heating wires are also embedded in the hard coat and the busbars cover the hard coat.
Der zusätzliche ein- oder zweischichtige Hardcoat kann aber auch dergestalt appliziert werden, dass er die Stromsammelschienen bedeckt.The additional one- or two-layer hardcoat can also be applied in such a way that it covers the busbars.
Der Hardcoat kann neben farbgebenden Verbindungen und Pigmenten auch UV-Blocker, Konservierungsstoffe sowie Komponenten zur Erhöhung der Kratzfestigkeit, beispielsweise Nanopartikel, enthalten.In addition to coloring compounds and pigments, the hardcoat can also contain UV blockers, preservatives and components to increase scratch resistance, for example nanoparticles.
Der Hardcoat kann beispielsweise durch ein Tauch-, Flut-, oder Sprühverfahren auf die Außenseite und/oder die Innenseite des teiltransparenten, polymeren Scheibengrundkörpers aufgebracht werden. Der Hardcoat wird nach dem Aufbringen bevorzugt über Temperatur und/oder UV-Licht-Eintrag ausgehärtet. Bei Herstellung des polymeren Scheibengrundkörpers durch Spritzgießen kann der Hardcoat auch durch ein In Mould Coating-Verfahren auf die Außenseite des polymeren Scheibengrundkörpers aufgebracht werden.The hardcoat can be applied to the outside and / or the inside of the partially transparent, polymeric disk base body, for example by a dipping, flooding or spraying process. After application, the hardcoat is preferably cured by applying temperature and / or UV light. When the polymeric disk base body is produced by injection molding, the hardcoat can also be applied to the outside of the polymeric disk base body by an in-mold coating process.
Als Schutzbeschichtung oder Hardcoat geeignete Produkte sind beispielsweise AS4000, AS4700, PHC587 oder UVHC3000, die von der Firma Momentive Performance Materials bereitgestellt werden.Products suitable as a protective coating or hard coat are, for example, AS4000, AS4700, PHC587 or UVHC3000, which are provided by Momentive Performance Materials.
Der Hardcoat kann auch mehrere Schichten umfassen, bevorzugt einen Basecoat, der auch als haftvermittelnde Schicht oder Primer auf dem teiltransparenten, polymeren Scheibengrundkörper fungiert. Der Basecoat kann beispielsweise Acrylate enthalten und eine Schichtdicke von 0,4 µm bis 5 µm aufweisen. Der Hardcoat kann z.B. Polysiloxane enthalten und weist typischerweise eine Schichtdicke von 3 µm bis 15 µm auf. Außerdem kann der Hardcoat zusätzlich mit einer Plasma-CVD-Schicht, wie z.B. Exatec® 900, bedeckt sein.The hard coat can also comprise several layers, preferably a base coat, which also functions as an adhesion-promoting layer or primer on the partially transparent, polymeric base body of the pane. The basecoat can contain acrylates, for example, and have a layer thickness of 0.4 µm to 5 µm. The hardcoat can contain polysiloxanes, for example, and typically has a layer thickness of 3 μm to 15 μm. The hardcoat can also be covered with a plasma CVD layer, such as Exatec® 900.
Die Schutzbeschichtung, d.h. der Hardcoat sowie gegebenenfalls der Basecoat kann oder können vor oder nach dem Anbringen der Heizdrähte und Stromsammelschienen aufgebracht werden. Die Schutzbeschichtung kann vor oder nach dem Verbinden der Heizdrähte mit den Stromsammelschienen aufgebracht werden.The protective coating, i.e. the hardcoat and, if necessary, the basecoat, can or can be applied before or after the heating wires and busbars are attached. The protective coating can be applied before or after connecting the heating wires to the busbars.
In einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform können die Oberflächen, auf die die Stromsammelschienen durch das FPC-Verfahren appliziert werden, vor der Applikation noch aktiviert werden, um eine bessere Haftung der Metallschicht zu gewährleisten. Hierzu können chemische Aktivatoren oder Haftvermittler auf Silanbasis verwendet werden, oder die Oberflächen können mittels Plasmaaktivierung aktiviert werden. Diese Plasmaaktivierung kann dem Abscheideprozess unmittelbar vorgelagert sein und durch eine zusätzliche Plasmadüse am Roboterarm der Vorrichtung zur Atmosphärendruckplasmabeschichtung realisiert werden.In a preferred embodiment, the surfaces to which the busbars are applied by the FPC method can still be activated before application in order to ensure better adhesion of the metal layer. For this purpose, chemical activators or adhesion promoters based on silane can be used, or the surfaces can be activated by means of plasma activation. This plasma activation can be directly upstream of the deposition process and can be implemented by an additional plasma nozzle on the robot arm of the device for atmospheric pressure plasma coating.
Die beheizbaren Fahrzeug-Kunststoffscheiben werden bevorzugt als Scheiben für Fortbewegungsmittel zu Lande, in der Luft und/oder auf dem Wasser, insbesondere für Personenkraftwagen, Lastkraftwagen, Busse, Straßenbahnen, U-Bahnen, Züge, Motorräder, Schiffe und Flugzeuge sowie als dekorative Elemente und/oder als architektonische Elemente verwendet.The heatable vehicle plastic panes are preferred as panes for means of transport on land, in the air and / or on water, in particular for passenger cars, trucks, buses, trams, subways, trains, motorcycles, ships and planes and as decorative elements and / or used as architectural elements.
Außerdem können die beheizbaren Fahrzeug-Kunststoffscheiben mit Vorteil als Abdeckung für Leuchten von Fortbewegungsmitteln für den Verkehr auf dem Lande, in der Luft oder zu Wasser verwendet werden, insbesondere für Frontscheinwerfer, Rück-, Seitenmarkierungs- und/oder Umrissleuchten von Personenkraftwagen, Lastkraftwagen, Bussen, Straßenbahnen, U-Bahnen, Zügen, Motorrädern, Schiffen und Flugzeugen.In addition, the heatable vehicle plastic panes can be used with advantage as a cover for lights of means of transport for traffic in the country, in the air or on water, in particular for headlights, rear, side marker and / or clearance lights of cars, trucks, buses , Trams, subways, trains, motorcycles, ships and planes.
