Silicate based glass compositions with nitrogen compounds are included in the composition as performance modifiers to impart desirable color and improved energy absorbance properties. The nitrogen compound is, generally, a metal nitride which is added to the batch glass composition in amounts greater than 0.05 weight percent prior to melting the composition and method resulting in a finished glass suitable for use in architectural and automotive glazings.

Metal nitrides as performance modifiers for glass compositions

The invention is a method of making silicate based glass compositions with phosphorus compounds included in the composition as spectral modifiers to impart desirable color and improved energy absorbance properties. The phosphorus compound is generally a metal phosphide which is added to the batch glass composition in amounts greater than 0.05 weight percent prior to melting. The composition and method result in a finished glass suitable for use in architectural and automotive glazings.

Method of making glasses containing spectral modifiers

Silicate based glass compositions with boron compounds are included in the composition as performance modifiers to impart desirable color and improved energy absorbance properties. The boron compound is, generally, a metal boride which is added to the batch glass composition in amounts greater than 0.05 weight percent prior to melting the composition and method resulting in a finished glass suitable for use in architectural and automotive glazings.
