Description

SPECIFICATION Pyrolytic deposition of a cobalt/tin oxide spinel film The present invention relates generally to the art of pyrolytic deposition of metal oxide films and more particularly to the pyrolytic deposition of metal oxide films from aqueous solutions of coating reactants.
The pyrolytic deposition of metal oxides onto a glass surface is described in U.S. Patent No 3,660,061 to Donley et al. Organometallic salts, preferably acetylacetonates, are dissolved in an organic vehicle such as methylene chloride. Other suitable solvents include aliphatic and olefinic halocarbons, halogenated hydrocarbons, alcohols and nonpolar aromatic compounds such as benzene and toluene. The organic solution is sprayed onto a hot glass surface where it thermally decomposes to form a metal oxide film which changes the refictance and transmittance of solar energy by the glass.
In U.S. Patent No.3,411,935 Englehart et al disclose that cobalt oxide is particlarly suited for use as a coating on glass because of its good solar heat shielding properties. However, cobalt oxide coatings are not as uniform and adherent as desired. Englehart et al teach that the adherence, durability and optical quality of cobalt oxide films are improved by providing the glass surface with a thin tin oxide undercoating and then overcoating with cobalt oxide by thermal pyrolysis of a cobalt compound such as cobalt acetylacetonate.
Preferably, the cobalt oxide coating also contains the oxides of iron and chromium since these oxides improve the scratch resistance of the coating without detracting from the slar heat shielding properties of the cobalt oxide. A preferred solvent system for the metal coating reactants comprises a polar organic compound and a nonpolar aromatic compound, particularly methanol combined with either benzene or toluene.
Current interest in eliminating the health and environmental hazards of using large volumes of organic solvents has encouraged the development of aqueous coating compositions. It is known from U.S. Patent No. 2,688,565 to Raymond that light reflecting coatings of cobalt oxide may be deposited by contacting a hot glass surface with an aqueous solution of cobalt acetate. However, such films have a grainy, irregular texture and are highly porous resulting in poor acid resistance evidenced by debonding of the film.
The present invention involves the pyrolytic deposition of a spinel-type film containing cobalt and tin oxides by thermal decomposition of an aqueous solution of a water soluble cobalt salt and a water soluble tin compound. The resultant film is more uniform in appearance and less porous than a cobalt oxide film which does not contain tin oxide. The cobalt/tin oxide film is also more durable as evidenced by the fact that it withstands immersion in 0.5 percent hydrofluoric acid solution for 8 minutes with no film debonding while a cobalt oxide film fails this durability test.
The cobalt and tin coating reactants are dissolved in water. The aqueous solution is then applied to a substrate surface e.g. a glass surface at a sufficiently high temperature to pyrolyze the coating reactants to form a metal oxide film.
Aqueous solutions of a water soluble cobalt salt, preferably cobalt acetate, and a water soluble tin compound, preferably dimethyltin dichloride, are prepared with wide variation in the ratio of cobalt to tin.
The ratio of cobalt to tin is preferably about 2:1 to 20:1 by weight and more preferably about 5:1 to 12:1.The total metal concentration in the solution preferably ranges from about 1 to 12 percent by weight and more preferably from about 5 to 6 percent.
Preferred cobalt salts include cobalt nitrate and cobalt perchlorate as well as cobalt acetate. Preferred water soluble tin compounds include tin chlorides such as SnC 12 and SnC 14 and other alkyltin chlorides such as methyltin trichloride, trimethyltin chloride, diethyltin dichioride, diisopropyltin dichloride, stannic bisacetylacetone dichloride and stannic acetate.
The aqueous solution of cobalt and tin coating reactants is applied to a surface of a glass substrate which is maintained at a temperature sufficient to pyrolyze the coating reactants to form an oxide film, preferably at least about 500"F. (about 260"C.) and more preferably about 1000-1200"F. (about 538 to 650"C).
In a particularly preferred embodiment of the present invention, a stock solution of cobalt acetate containing 5.0 percent by weight cobalt is prepared by dissolving the cobalt acetate in water, preferably including about 5 percent by weight glacial acetic acid to provide long shelf life. The selected hydrolyzable tin compound is separately dissolved in water. Coating solutions have a variety of cobalt/tin ratios are prepared by mixing the two solutions in various proportiions.
A particularly preferred method for applying the above solution to a hot glass surface is to spray the aqueous solution onto the surface of a continuous glass ribbon formed on a bath of molten metal in a refractory tank after the ribbon has been lifted from the bath and conveyed beyond the reducing atmosphere which protects the bath. A detailed description of a preferred method for the pyrolytic deposition of metal oxide films on glass is found in U.S. Patent No. 3,660,061, commonly assigned, which description is incorporated herein by reference.
The present invention will be further understood from the descriptions of specific examples which follow.
Spectral properties of the glass coated according to these examples are shown in Table 1.
EXAMPLE 1 A stock cobalt acetate solution is prepared by combining 21.13 percent by weight cobalt acetate tetrahydrate, Co(C2H302)2 4H2O, 5.25 percent by weight glacial acetic acid, and 73.62 percent by weight water. This stock cobalt solution contains 5.0 percent by weight cobalt. A stock tin solution is prepared by dissolving 23.13 percent by weight dimethyltin dich loride, (CH3)2 SnC I2, in 76.87 percent by weight water.
This stock tin solution contains 12.5 percent by weight tin.
A coating solution for depositing a cobalt/tin oxide spinel-type film is prepared by combining 100 parts by volume of the stock cobalt solution with 11.08 parts by volume of the stock tin solution. The ratio of cobalt to tin is 3.5 to 1.0 and the total metal concentration is 5.85 percent by weight. The coating solution is sprayed onto a glass surface at a temperature of 1050 to 1 0700F. (about 566 to 5770C.). The coating reactants pyrolyze to form a durable, uniform cobalt/tin oxide spinel-type film on the glass surface.
