Definitions

  • An electrically heatable transparent glazing panel composed of a transparent glass substrate is provided with at least one electrically conductive coating strip by applying onto the substrate a coating composition composed of a suspension or paste incorporating metal particles and intermixed glass particles, at least some of which are of a glass having a softening point lower than that of the glass of the substrate, substantially all of which particles are less than 5 microns in size, and subesquently firing the applied composition.

  • the invention relates to a method of manufacturing an electrically heatable transparent glazing panel. and particularly a method involving providing a transparent glass substrate with at least one electrically conductive coating strip inwhich heat can be generated by the Joule effect.
  • the invention also relates to transparent glazing panels composed of a glass substrate carrying one or more attached electrically conductive coating strips in which heat can be thus generated.
  • Electrically heatable transparent glazing panels incorporating electrically conductive elements are extensively and increasingly used, as. or as components of, vehicle glazings, e.g., as glazing panels in aircraft and as rear glazing panels in road vehicles.
  • Such glazing panels can be connected to a source of E.M.F. so that sufficient heat is generated by the passage of electric current through the conductive elements to keep the panel free from mist and ice.
  • the electrically conductive coatings it is usually necessary for the electrically conductive coatings to adhere very strongly to the substrate, and it may even be necessary in some cases for the coating to be resistant to impairment or detachment from the substrate when this is subjected to a certain amount of flexure. In cases in which the coatings are to be exposed on an external face of the substrate, as distinct from being sandwiched between the substrate and a superimposed protective sheet or layer, the coatings should have good abrasion resistance.
  • Another important condition to be fulfilled in products of high quality is a high degree of uniformity in the composition of the coatings on a given substrate and, in mass production manufacture. a high degree of uniformity in the composition of the coatings from one substrate to another.
  • Another object of the invention is to provide such a method by which predetermined results can easily be reproduced by repetitive performance of the method in mass production manufacture.
  • a further object of the invention is to provide a method which can easily be adapted for achieving a wide range of strip conductivities.
  • Yet another object which is fulfilled by preferred embodiments of the invention, is to enable conductive coating strips to be formed which have a particularly high abrasion resistance.
  • An important field of use of the invention is the manufacture of electrically heatable glazing panels for use in vehicle windows.
  • an electrically heatable transparent glazing panel which includes providing a transparent glass substrate with at least one electrically conductive coating strip in which heat can be generated by Joule effect.
  • at least one such strip is formed by applying onto the substrate a coating composition composed of a suspension or paste incorporating metal particles all or substantially all of which are below 5 microns in size, intermixed with glass particles at least part of which having a softening point lower than that of the glass composing the substrate, and all or substantially all of which are likewise below 5 microns in size, and subsequently firing such applied composition, the metal particles being present in sufficient proportion in relation to the glass particles to render the coating strip or strips electrically conductive.
  • This method affords the important advantage that electrically conductive coating strips which have a substantially uniform conductivity along the length thereof can be formed in a relatively simple manner, using only one coating deposition step. It follows that a similarly high standard of uniformity can be attained as between one conductive coating strip and another formed on the same panel, or on a different panel in the course of mass production manufacture.
  • Coating compositions hitherto known for forming electrically conductive coatings incorporate mixtures of metal and glass particles in which the glass particles cover a size range extending very much above 5 microns. Contrary to what would be expected on theoretical grounds, the highest standard of coating uniformity which can be realized when using such a composition is greatly inferior to that which can be achieved by using a method according to the present invention.
  • the performance of the present invention involves more careful preparation of the coating constituents in order to observe the specified granulometry condition, but this step is amply justified by the greatly improved results which are obtained.
  • the glass particles have substantially the same average grain size as the metal particles.
  • the standard of uniformity which can be achieved is optimized.
  • the glass particles in the coating composition are composed of intermixed particles of two lead borosilicate glasses of different softening points and the applied composition is fired to cause at least that one of such glasses which has the lower softening point to serve as a binder for the metal particles.
  • the use of different intermixed glasses of different softening points affords very important advantages. Firstly, the properties of the coating strips are not determined merely by the metal particles and one selected glass. The second glass can be selected to confer on the coating strips a property which the strips would not otherwise possess.
  • the coating composition prefferably contains a glass which can be melted or sufficiently softened for binding the metal particles without the necessity for excessively high firing temperatures.
  • the glass of lower softening point can be selected to serve as a binder while the higher softening point glass can be selected to confer some special property on the coating strips, for example a high abrasion resistance.
  • the higher softening point glass which is the harder glass
  • Another advantage of using a mixture of glasses of different softening points is that, as the properties of the coating strips are in part dependent on the relative proportions of the different glasses, a range of properties is attainable by using the different glasses in different relative proportions.
  • the glass having the higher softening point is constituted by oxides of aluminum and titanium or of aluminum, titanium and zirconium.
  • oxides of aluminum and titanium or of aluminum, titanium and zirconium has been found to improve the properties of the coatings, in particular their hardness and abrasion-resistance.
  • the glass having the higher softening point includes oxides of aluminum, titanium, zirconium and cadmium in an aggregate proportion of at least 10% by weight of such glass.
  • the metal particles constitute at least 40% of the aggregate weight of the metal particles and glass particles. It has been found that the inclusion of such high proportions of metal particles, e.g. silver particles, further facilitates the formation of coatings having a predetermined and substantially uniform electrical conductivity in repetitive performances of the method.
  • the coating composition contains only a minor proportion of a liquid vehicle, sufficient to render the composition capable of being uniformly spread like a paint and the composition is fired substantially immediately after its application to the panel.

  • a protective sheet may be applied over the electrically conductive coating strip or strips so that such strip or strips are sandwiched between the glass panel substrate and the protective sheet.
  • the coating strip, or each coating strip, can be applied by a serographic technique.
  • This technique involves the use of a screen which is prepared to form stencil in which the open area or areas penetrable by the coating composition correspond to the strip-like zone or zones on which the coating composition is to be deposited.
  • the invention also includes a transparent glazing panel composed of a glass substrate carrying one or more attached electrically conductive coating strips in which heat can be generated by Joule effect, in which there is at least one such strip which is composed of metal particles together with intermixed lead borosilicate glasses of different softening points, at least the lower softening point glass serving as binder for such metal particles.
  • Such a panel has the important advantage that the coating strip has a combination of properties deriving from the different constituent glasses.
  • the technical specifications of the coating strips can be modified quite easily from one panel to another by modifying the relative proportions of the different glasses in the coating composition.
  • the transparent glazing panel as above defined is one in which all or substantially all of the metal particles are below 5 microns in size and wherein at least the higher softening point glass is present in the form of particles all or substantially all of which are also below 5 microns in size.

  • the negative was constituted by a sheet of glass covered by self-adhesive opaque sheets along the strip zones.
  • the latent image on the screen was then developed by soaking the screen in water at about 50C., which caused removal of the photosensitive composition along the strip zones. This development was followed by rinsing in water and firing at about C. for about 30 minutes. The screen was then ready for use in the manufacture of the heatable window.
  • the developed screen was applied onto a glass sheet substrate constituting the glazing panel and electrically conductive coating composition in the form of a paste was forced through the open meshes of the screen.
