CONSTRUCTION METHODS FOR REFLECTING OBJECTS

摘要

A reflective article such as a mirror or an energy-screening transparent panel comprises a reflective metal coating deposited on a glass substrate. The metal coating comprises a reflective layer of silver and has been treated with a solution containing ions of at least one of the group consisting of: Cr (II); V (II or III); Ti (III or II); Fe (II); In (I or II); Cu (I); and Al (III). Such a treatment affords protection of the reflective coating against corrosion.
