COATINGS ON GLASS

摘要

A method of producing mirrors comprising depositing a reflecting metal layer by pyrolysis on a ribbon of hot glass during the glass production process characterized by applying to the glass ribbon prior to deposition of the reflecting metal layer a primer for enhancing metal nucleation on the glass. The invention also provides a method of producing mirrors during the glass production process, the method comprising pretreating the surface of a ribbon of hot glass with an activating agent and pyrolytically depositing over the pretreated surface a reflecting metal layer.
