The present invention relates to glasses having a composition made up of base glasses. The glasses have a good chemical toughenability in combination with an advantageous coefficient of thermal expansion. Owing to their composition and the production process, the homogeneity of the properties of the glasses at their surface is high compared to the bulk glass. Furthermore, the fragility of the glasses is low, so that they can be processed to produce very thin glass articles.

Glasses having improved ion exchangeability and thermal expansion

A glass flux material for applying an opaque coating is provided. The glass flux material includes at least one pigment and a glass component with the following composition:

Substrate provided with a coating based on a glass flux, glass flux material, and method for coating a glass or glass ceramic substrate

A thermally tempered glass element is provided made of glass with two opposite faces that are under compressive stress of at least 40 MPa. The glass has a working point at which the glass has a viscosity of 10dPa·s of at most 1350° C. The glass has a viscosity versus temperature profile and a coefficient of thermal expansion versus temperature profile of the glass are such that a variable (750° C.-T)/(CTE-CTEs) has a value of at most 5*10K. The CTEis a coefficient of linear thermal expansion of the glass above a glass transition temperature T, the CTEis a coefficient of linear thermal expansion of the glass in a temperature range from 20° C. to 300° C., and the Tis a temperature at which the glass has a viscosity of 10dPa·s.

Thermally tempered glass element and use thereof

Glass elements are provided that include a coating and a sheet-like glass substrate. The sheet-like glass substrate has a first surface and a second surface opposite the first surface. The coating is disposed in at least some areas of at least one of the first and second surfaces. The coating is an inorganic glass-based coating that includes at least one glassy component; at least one pigment comprising pigment particles; and a filler. The filler is inorganic and includes filler particles with a dvalue, based on an equivalent diameter, of at least 0.1 &#x3bc;m and less than 10 &#x3bc;m.

A panel like, double-sided coated substrate and a method for production are provided. The panel like substrate includes at least two layers applied by heating, the first layer being applied on a first side of the substrate and having at least a glass component and structure-forming particles, the particles producing elevations on the first layer, and the softening temperature or the melting temperature of the particles being greater than the softening temperature of the glass component, and the second layer being applied on a second side of the substrate.
