An architectural transparency includes a substrate; a first dielectric layer over at least a portion of the substrate, a first metallic layer over the first dielectric layer, a first primer layer over the first metallic layer, a second dielectric layer over the first primer layer, a second metallic layer over the second dielectric layer, a second primer layer over the second metallic layer, a third dielectric layer over the second primer layer, a third metallic layer over the third dielectric layer, a third primer layer over the third dielectric layer, and a fourth dielectric layer over the third primer layer. At least one of the metallic layers is a subcritical metallic layer.

An article for reflecting solar energy includes a coating stack having solar reflecting films and metal oxide films, the coating stack applied on a major surface of a glass substrate, and a protective overcoat comprising a first and a second surface, wherein the first surface of the protective overcoat is disposed toward the solar reflective films and metal oxide films; and a polymer encapsulant over outer wall surfaces of the coating stack, the second surface of the protective overcoat and over peripheral edges of the coated article, the encapsulant having a base layer, a top layer and metallic corrosion-inhibitive material in the base layer.

Solar mirrors and methods of making solar mirrors having improved properties

A coated substrate includes: a substrate and a first layer on at least a portion of the substrate, the first layer including a polymer selected from the group consisting of an acrylic, an epoxy, a polyurethane, a copolymer thereof, and a mixture thereof, and an additive selected from the group consisting of an ultraviolet light (UV) absorber, a UV stabilizer, and a mixture thereof. The coated substrate further includes a second layer on at least a portion of the first layer, and a third layer on at least a portion of the second layer. A method of forming a coated substrate includes: forming a first layer on at least a portion of a substrate; forming a second layer on at least portion of the first layer; and forming a third layer by plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition on at least a portion of the second layer.

Protective coating system for plastic substrate

A solar reflective mirror includes a parting film between solar reflecting sublayers to improve optics and stability of the solar mirror. The coating stack of the solar reflector mirror is encapsulated to increase the useable life of the solar mirror, and to eliminate the need for a permanent protection overcoat. Omission of the PPO film which is electrically non-conductive makes the coating stack electrically conductive eliminating the need for a two layer encapsulant when the encapsulant is e-coated. Another feature of the invention is applying the base coat of the encapsulant over the marginal edges of the PPO film leaving a center section without coverage and adding the top coating of the encapsulant over the base coat and the uncoated area.

A coated article includes a substrate and a coating applied over at least a portion of the substrate. The coating includes at least one metallic layer formed from one or more silver compounds doped with at least one metal selected from Groups 3 to 15 of the periodic table of the elements. Also disclosed are capsules that can absorb electromagnetic energy as well as a process of forming an antimony-doped tin oxide coating layer.

Solar control coatings and methods of forming solar control coatings

An architectural transparency includes a substrate, a first dielectric layer formed over at least a portion of the substrate, a subcritical metallic layer formed over at least a portion of the first dielectric layer, a primer layer formed over the subcritical metallic layer and, a second dielectric layer formed over at least a portion of the primer layer. The primer layer contains an oxygen-capturing material that can be sacrificed during a deposition process or heating process to prevent degradation of the subcritical metallic layer.
