Description
A LOW-E COATING FOR GLASS SURFACES AND A GLASS WITH A LOW-E COATING
TECHNICAL FIELD
The invention relates to a low-e coating that provides solar control and thermal insulation for glass surfaces with high heat treatment resistance and stable mechanical, permeability, and color values before and after heat treatment, and to a glass with the said low-e coating.
BACKGROUND
The glass used in the architectural and automotive sectors is coated with coating materials to improve its mechanical, optical, and physical properties. There are many different forms and functionalities of glass coating materials in the glass industry, and studies are continuing to improve their properties day by day. Low-e (low-emission) coating materials is one of the most widely used coating materials in the related technical field. The said low-e coating materials provide fuel and energy savings by providing solar (enabling to reduce UV rays by 70% or more) and temperature control for glasses. In addition, low-e coatings provide transparency for glass surfaces while at the same time protecting them from cold air.
Low-e coatings consist of layers comprising metals, oxides, nitrides, or hydrides, each with different functionalities. The mechanical, optical, and physical properties of the glass surfaces are improved by the synergistic effect created by the metal-comprising layers among themselves, thus ensuring that the interior spaces remain cool in the summer and warm in the winter.
In order to improve the properties of glass surfaces in the technical field, low-e coatings comprise infrared reflective layers with many different structures and properties. In addition, low-e coatings can comprise a plurality of infrared reflective layers depending on the desired properties. The invention with patent number WO2019157798 A1 describes a low-e coating material comprising a double infrared reflective layer and glass coated with this coating material. There are two layers comprising silver metal as the infrared reflective layer. The invention with patent number CN 112250322 relates to a low-e coated glass product comprising a single silver infrared reflective layer. In the said invention, the coating layers are realized by magnetron sputtering on glass surfaces.
The transmittance and reflectance values of glasses coated with low-e coating in the visible, near-infrared, and infrared regions of the solar energy spectrum can be achieved at targeted levels.
In addition to transmittance and reflectivity, selectivity is also an important parameter in the coated glass. Selectivity is defined in the ISO 9050 (2003) Standard as the ratio of the visible region transmittance value to the solar factor. The selectivity values of coatings can be kept at targeted levels with the number of Ag layers they comprise, the type of nucleating layer used, reflection reducing dielectric layer combinations, and parametric optimizations of the layers.
As a result of applying heat treatments to the glass and low-e coating materials in the art; mechanical, transmittance, color parameters, and delta-E values change before and after heat treatment. For eliminating the aforementioned negative situation, the thickness of the barrier layers and/or infrared reflective layers in the low-e coatings is increased in order to provide thermal resistance and low transmittance properties. In this case, where the layers with metallic content are thicker, the optical values change much more after heat treatment, as well as the increase in visible region reflections. It has become a necessity to make arrangements to ensure that the changes in the mechanical, optical, and physical properties of low-e coatings before and after heat treatment remain at least at acceptable levels or that no changes occur.

Low-e coating (20) of the invention is applied to improve the mechanical, physical and optical properties of glass (10) surfaces. As is in the state of the art, heat treatments can also be applied to improve the mechanical, optical and physical properties of glass (10) surfaces. It is in the state of the art that during the application of heat treatments, adverse effects exist for low-e coatings (20) and changes occur in the optical, mechanical and physical properties of low-e coatings (20). The present invention provides arrangements for stabilizing the mechanical, optical and physical properties of low-e coatings (20) before and after heat treatment. Accordingly, in the invention, the low-e coating (20) comprises a middle sandwich structure (28) in order to overcome the disadvantages of the art and to improve the mechanical, optical and physical properties of the final product. The said middle sandwich structure (28) is positioned between the first infrared reflective layer (25) and the second infrared reflective layer (30). The middle sandwich structure (28) comprises, from the glass (10) to the atmosphere, respectively at least one first thermal barrier layer (281 ) / at least one regulating layer (282) / at least one second thermal barrier layer (283).
The first thermal barrier layer (281) is preferably positioned in the upper vicinity of the second dielectric layer (27). The first thermal barrier layer (281) comprises SixNy. The thickness of the first thermal barrier layer (281) is in the range of 15 nm to 35 nm. In a preferred embodiment, the thickness of the first thermal barrier layer (281) is in the range of 17 nm to 33 nm. Most preferably, the thickness of the first thermal barrier layer (281) is in the range of 20 nm to 30 nm.
The middle sandwich structure comprises at least one of NiCr and/or NiCrOx as the regulating layer (282). The thickness of the said regulating layer (282) is preferably in the range of 2 nm to 13 nm. In a preferred embodiment, the thickness of the regulating layer (282) is preferably in the range of 2 nm to 10 nm. Most preferably, the thickness of the regulating layer (282) is preferably in the range of 4 nm to 7 nm.
The middle sandwich structure (28) comprises a second thermal barrier layer (283). Said second thermal barrier layer (283) comprises SixNy. The thickness of the second thermal barrier layer (283) is in the range of 15 nm to 35 nm. In a preferred embodiment, the thickness of the second thermal barrier layer (283) is in the range of 17 nm to 33 nm. Most preferably, the thickness of the second thermal barrier layer (283) is in the range of 20 nm to 30 nm.
In the invention, the first thermal barrier layer (281) I regulating layer (282) I second thermal barrier layer (283) contained in the middle sandwich structure (28) enable the thermal resistance and optical properties of the low-e coating (20) to be improved.
In the current art, the thickness of the first barrier layer (24), the second barrier layer (26) and the third barrier layer (31 ) or the silver-comprising first infrared reflective layer (25) and the second infrared reflective layer (30) were increased to provide thermal resistance and low transmittance in low-e coatings (20). In this case where the metallic layers were thicker, not only did the visible reflections increase but also the optical values changed much more after heat treatment. The low-e coating (20) of the invention, thanks to the first thermal barrier layer (281 ) comprising SixNy / regulating layer (282) comprising NiCr and/or NiCrOx / second thermal barrier layer (283) comprising SixNy, the desired low transmittance level after heat treatment can be obtained with minimum change. In the case of using the middle sandwich structure (28) characterized in the invention, the transmittance reduction is largely provided by the thickness of the regulating layer (282) comprising NiCr and/or NiCrOx located between the first thermal barrier layer (281) comprising SixNy and the second thermal barrier layer (283). By keeping the thickness of the NiCr and/or NiCrOx comprising regulating layer (282) in the middle sandwich structure (28) high, the thicknesses of the first barrier layer (24), the second barrier layer (26) and the third barrier layer (31) can be kept thin. Considering the arrangement of the middle sandwich structure (28), the heat treatment exposure of the regulating layer (282) comprising NiCr and/or NiCrOx is kept to a minimum due to the fact that it is symmetrically located in the middle and positioned between the first thermal barrier layer (281 ) comprising SixNy and the second thermal barrier layer (283). Another advantage of this structure is that the transmittance level can be regulated by the middle sandwich structure (28), enabling examples of different transmittance levels to be obtained with minimal layer arrangement changes.
The inventors have determined that the changes in the optical, mechanical and chemical properties of the low-e coating (20) of the invention before and after heat treatment are realized in a way to remain stable within the production tolerances thanks to the middle sandwich structure (28). In order to prove this, the inventors compare the changes in transmittance and color parameters before and after heat treatment of the glass (10) and low-e coating (20) without the middle sandwich structure (28) given in Table 1 with the changes in transmittance and color parameters before and after heat treatment of the glass (10) and low-e coating (20) of the invention given in Table 2.

Table 3. Changes in transmittance and color parameters of low-e coating (20) example without Middle Sandwich Structure (28) before and after heat treatment
When the data given in Table 3 are examined, it is determined that the low-e coating (20) without the middle sandwich structure (28) has high changes in transmittance and color parameters before and after heat treatments.
The differences between the transmittance, color parameters and delta e values before and after heat treatment of the low-e coating of the invention comprising the layers given in Table 2 are given in Table 4.
Table 4. Changes in transmittance and color parameters of the Low-e Coating (20) of the Invention Example with a Middle Sandwich Structure (28) before and after heating
When the values shared in Table 4 are examined, it is determined that the changes in the transmittance and color parameters of the low-e coating (20) with the middle sandwich structure (28) before and after heat treatment are within the production tolerances (very low). For this reason, it is ensured that the said changes between the pre- and post-heat treatment conditions of the low-e coating (20) of the invention with the middle sandwich structure (28) and other layers are kept at minimum values.
The low-e coating (20) of the present invention provides the glass (10) with a neutral color due to the middle sandwich structure (28) and other layers. The glass (10) with the low-e coating (20) of the invention has a neutral blue color.
The protection scope of the invention is determined in the appended claims and cannot be strictly limited to what has described in this detailed description for illustrative purposes. It is clear that those skilled in art can come up with similar embodiments in the light of the foregoing without departing from the main theme of the invention.
