| 20100167034 | LOW-EMISSIVITY GLAZING - The present invention relates to a glazing coated with an assembly of thin layers using vacuum deposition, said glazing having reflective properties for infrared radiation, while retaining a high transmission in the visible range, and retaining its properties when subjected to a thermal treatment such as bending/toughening. The glazing comprises one or more silver-based layers and dielectric layers, of which at least one underlying dielectric layer in relation to at least one silver-based layer is a titanium oxide- or oxynitride-based layer such as TiMOx or TiMOxNy, in which M is a metal or a plurality of metals or silicon, wherein these metals or silicon are contained in sufficient atomic proportions to prevent a significant transformation of the crystallographic structure of the previously deposited titanium oxide-based layer under the action of the thermal treatment. | 07-01-2010 |

| 20110027562 | FILM-COATED GLAZING - The present invention relates to essentially transparent glazings comprising a system of films deposited under vacuum by magnetron, and having antisun and/or low-emission properties, comprising as protective surface layer a layer based on titanium oxide and on at least one other metal oxide of high hardness from the group comprising: ZrO | 02-03-2011 |
| 20110183129 | HIGH REFLECTION GLAZING - The invention relates to a glazing that comprises at least one layer deposited by cathodic spraying under vacuum, said layer containing one or more oxides and a proportion in weight of titanium oxide of at least 40% and not exceeding 95%. The thickness of the layer in question and optionally the thickness of the other layers containing metal oxide is/are selected so that on a clear “float” glass sheet having a thickness of 4 mm, said layer(s) would yield a reflection of at least 15% and a light transmission of at least 60%. The layer or layer system in question further has a mechanical and/or chemical resistance comparable to that of layers produced by pyrolysis for obtaining products having the same kind of optical properties. | 07-28-2011 |
