Coated glazing with specific layers and surface properties
A recently filed patent (Publication Number: US20240034669A1) describes a coated glazing with specific layers in sequence, including a transparent glass substrate, a layer of metal oxide or metalloid oxide, and a further layer. The glazing must have a surface with a certain arithmetical mean height value and exhibit a minimum haze value when tested according to specific standards. The patent also details variations in the composition of the layers, thickness requirements, and the types of materials used, such as SnO2, TiO2, SiO2, and fluorine-doped tin oxide (SnO2:F).
Furthermore, the patent includes claims related to the manufacturing method of the coated glazing, involving steps like depositing the layers using Chemical Vapour Deposition (CVD) and specific temperature requirements for the substrate during the process. The method also allows for the bending of the coated glazing post-deposition. The patent covers various applications for the coated glazing, including storefronts, showrooms, refrigeration units, and automotive glazing, highlighting the versatility and potential uses of this technology in different industries.
