Definitions

  • the present disclosure relates, in general to a glazing comprising a transparent substrate, on the surface of which a stack of thin layers is deposited which comprises three functional layers, two based on silver and the other functional layer based on titanium nitride making the substrate possible to act on the solar and/or infrared radiation likely to strike said surface. More specifically the invention relates to a glazing comprising a bilayer silver stack that achieves high selectivity equivalent to that of triple layer silver stack.
  • VLT visual light transmission
  • a glass substrate provided with a single silver layer in the coating generally achieves selectivity between 1.2 and 1.4.
  • a glass substrate provided with double and triple silver layers in the coating generally achieve selectivity up to 1.8 and 2.2, respectively.
  • Such solar control products are now commonly available in the market. It should be quite clear that increasing the amount of silver improves the selectivity of a coating. However, this results in an increase in light reflection to levels considered aesthetically undesirable. And further makes these coatings largely expensive owing to the increased cost associated with the increased silver content. Other highly conducting metals such as gold, copper, etc. can be used in place of silver in these coatings to achieve good selectivity, but their distinct colors are not always aesthetically appealing. Moreover, the cost of these materials can also be sufficiently high.
  • Titanium nitride when deposited close to working point, shows excellent IR reflectivity while keeping visual light transmission reasonably high. This makes TiN a good candidate to substitute silver layers in a coating.
  • TiN has a much higher emissivity in comparison to silver. This means replacing all silver layers of a coating by TiN will not result in comparable performances.
  • the present invention proposes TiN as a material to be used alongside a bilayer of silver in a coating to achieve high selectivity (>1.8, or even >2.0).
  • CN102603209A, WO2019209202A2, CN102350833B and CN102825866A are referenced herein for disclosing coating stack comprising silver based functional metal layer(s) and TiN material as the dielectric layer.
  • Several other documents disclose the use of TiN material in a coating stack as the IR reflecting layer that can be used in place of the silver based functional metal layer(s).
  • US6416872, WO2008/060453, WO2016/107883 are referenced herein for coating stack disclosing TiN as one of the IR reflecting material. However, these references do not disclose performance of these coating stack neither in terms of solar factor (g) nor selectivity.
  • JP2006143525A is particularly referenced for disclosing a thermal barrier film including a silver layer and a titanium nitride or oxynitride layer as the main components for achieving high visible light transmittance, low visible light reflectance, and high heat shielding performance.
  • the invention proposes a glass plate having an antireflection film on the outdoor side and a thermal barrier film on the indoor side surface.
  • positioning of the TiN layer over the silver functional layer in the stack configuration compromises the U-value.
  • Still further documents WO2019/097192, WO2010072973, WO2010072974 and WO2014/044984 disclose thin film stacks comprising a single silver functional layer and one or more absorbent layers based on titanium or titanium nitride material to reduce light reflection.
  • the objective of the invention is to overcome the drawbacks of the prior art, by developing a new type of stack comprising two functional layers based on silver and a single functional layer based on titanium nitride such that the functional layer based on titanium nitride is positioned below at least one functional layer based on silver.
  • This new type of stack achieves a low emissivity and high selectivity with visible light transmission values ranging between 20% to 65%.
  • a glazing comprising a transparent substrate with a stack of thin layers.
  • Three functional layers are provided to have reflection properties in the infrared and/or solar radiation range.
  • Dielectric coatings each comprising one or more dielectric layers are provided such as to sandwich each of the functional layers.
  • Each dielectric layer independently comprises a dielectric material.
  • the functional layer based on titanium nitride has an extinction coefficient k>3 in the wavelength ranging between 1000 nm to 2500 nm and is positioned below at least one functional layer based on silver or silver- containing metal alloy.
  • a glazing comprising a transparent substrate with a stack of thin layers comprising starting from the substrate: a first dielectric coating; a first functional layer based on titanium nitride having reflection properties in the infrared and/or solar radiation range, wherein the first functional layer has an extinction coefficient k>3 in the wavelength ranging between 1000 nm to 2500 nm; a second dielectric coating; a second functional layer based on silver or silver-containing metal alloy having reflection properties in the infrared and/or solar radiation range; a third dielectric coating; a third functional layer based on silver or silver-containing metal alloy having reflection properties in the infrared and/or solar radiation range; and a fourth dielectric coating is disclosed.
  • a glazing comprising a transparent substrate with a stack of thin layers comprising starting from the substrate: a first dielectric coating; a first functional layer based on based on silver or silver-containing metal alloy having reflection properties in the infrared and/or solar radiation range; a second dielectric coating; a second functional layer based on titanium nitride having reflection properties in the infrared and/or solar radiation range, wherein the first functional layer has an extinction coefficient k>3 in the wavelength ranging between 1000 nm to 2500 nm; a third dielectric coating; a third functional layer based on silver or silver-containing metal alloy having reflection properties in the infrared and/or solar radiation range; and a fourth dielectric coating is disclosed.
  • the glazing is characterized in that when said transparent substrate is mounted in a double glazing with the stack of thin layers on face 2, the double glazing has visible light transmission ranging between 20% to 65%; and high selectivity greater than 1.8.

  • FIG.3A and FIG.3B illustrates a stack of thin layers deposited on a transparent glass substrate, according to two exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure.
  • Embodiments disclosed herein are related to a solar control glazing comprising two silver based functional layers, either one or both these layers positioned atop another functional layer based on TiN, having reflection properties in the infrared and/or solar radiation.
  • the proposed glazing achieves higher selectivity (>1.8, even >2.0) as compared to conventional glazing comprising stacks having double silver based functional layers and conventional stacks mentioned in prior art that does not comprise any absorbing layers having selectivity close to 1.8 or even 1.85.
  • the proposed glazing stack is a cost effective alternative to coating stack comprising triple layer silver functional layers as it provides for replacing one of the silver functional layers with a less expensive material such as TiN and yet achieves high selectivity as that of the triple layer silver functional layer stack.
  • the solar factor "FS” corresponds to the ratio in% between the total energy entering the room through the glazing and the incident solar energy. All the luminous characteristics described herein are obtained according to the principles and methods of the European standard EN 410 relating to the determination of the luminous and solar characteristics of glazing used in glass for construction.
  • FIG. 1 illustrates a structure of a stack of thin layer having three functional layers 50, 100, 150 deposited on a transparent substrate 10.
  • Each of the functional layers 50, 100, 150 are positioned between dielectric coatings 20 (first dielectric coating), 40 (second dielectric coating), 60 (third dielectric coating), 80 (fourth dielectric coating) such that: the first functional layer 50, starting from the substrate, is positioned between the dielectric coatings 20, 40; the second functional layer 100 is positioned between the dielectric coatings 40, 60; and the third functional layer 150 is positioned between the dielectric coatings 60, 80.
  • the dielectric coatings 20, 40, 60, 80 each include at least one dielectric layer viz., 21; 41; 61; 81. Each dielectric layer includes a dielectric material.
  • the functional layer 50 is based on titanium nitride having reflection properties in the infrared and/or solar radiation range and has an extinction coefficient k>3 in the wavelength ranging between 1000 nm to 2500 nm.
  • the functional layer 50 is based on silver or silver-containing metal alloy having reflection properties in the infrared and/or solar radiation range.
  • the functional layer 100 is based on silver or silver-containing metal alloy according to few embodiments of the present invention while in few other examples the functional layer 100 is based on titanium nitride.
  • the functional layer 150 according to all embodiments of the present invention is based on silver or silver-containing metal alloy having reflection properties in the infrared and/or solar radiation range.
  • the stack of thin layer comprises no more than two function layers based on silver or silver-containing metal alloy not more than one function layer based on titanium nitride.
  • the invention relates to a material comprising a transparent substrate coated with a stack of thin layers comprising, starting from the substrate: - a first dielectric coating; - a first functional layer based on titanium nitride having reflection properties in the infrared and/or solar radiation range, - a second dielectric coating; - a second functional layer based on silver or silver-containing metal alloy having reflection properties in the infrared and/or solar radiation range; - a third dielectric coating; - a third functional layer based on silver or silver-containing metal alloy having reflection properties in the infrared and/or solar radiation range; and - a fourth dielectric coating.
  • the invention relates to a material comprising a transparent substrate coated with a stack of thin layers comprising, starting from the substrate: - a first dielectric coating; - a first functional layer based on silver or silver-containing metal alloy having reflection properties in the infrared and/or solar radiation range, - a second dielectric coating; - a second functional layer based on titanium nitride having reflection properties in the infrared and/or solar radiation range; - a third dielectric coating; - a third functional layer based on silver or silver-containing metal alloy having reflection properties in the infrared and/or solar radiation range; and - a fourth dielectric coating.
  • the functional layer based on titanium nitride is positioned below at least one functional layer based on silver or silver containing metal alloys to provide low emissivity and high selectivity.
  • the sum of the optical thicknesses (nd, calculated at 480 nm wavelength) of the second and the third dielectric coatings 40, 60 ranges between 120 nm to 700 nm.
  • the total optical thickness (nd, calculated at 480 nm wavelength) of the dielectric coating 20, 80 each range between 20 nm and 300 nm.
  • the invention also relates to a multiple glazing comprising at least one material according to the invention and at least one second substrate, the material and the second substrate are separated by at least one interlayer of gas.
  • the stack is positioned in face 2.
  • the double glazing presents: - a selectivity greater than 1.8 or greater than or equal to 2.0, - visible light transmission ranging between 20% to 65% - glass side reflection (Rg) less than 25%, - coating side reflection (Rc) less than 20%,
  • Rg 65% - glass side reflection
  • Rc coating side reflection
  • Titanium nitride when deposited close to working point (herein ‘working point’ refers to the stack position of TiN layer that is optimally nitrided whose nitrogen content is optimal enough to nitride the layer as well as retain high deposition rate), shows excellent IR reflectivity while keeping visual light transmission reasonably high.
  • titanium nitride has much higher emissivity as compared to silver. Hence if the titanium nitride layer is placed at a point where it is either sandwiched between the glass substrate and the silver layer or is sandwiched between two silver layers, one of the silver layers can then be used as a top functional layer to achieve low emissivity and high selectivity.
