Abstract

A material includes a glass sheet, one of the faces of which includes a first zone and a second zone, only the first zone being coated with a layer of opaque mineral paint obtained from a water-based paint composition including pigments and an aqueous solution of alkaline silicate, the layer of mineral paint and the second zone of the glass sheet being coated with a thin layer stack including at least one electrically conductive thin layer.

Claims (27)

1. A material comprising a glass sheet, one of the faces of which comprises a first zone and a second zone, only the first zone being coated with a layer of opaque mineral paint obtained from a water-based paint composition comprising pigments and an aqueous solution of alkaline silicate, the layer of opaque mineral paint and the second zone of the glass sheet being coated with a thin layer stack comprising at least one electrically conductive thin layer such that the layer of opaque mineral paint is interposed between the glass sheet and the thin layer stack.

2. The material as claimed in claim 1 , wherein at least one electrically conductive thin layer is a metallic layer or a layer of a conductive transparent oxide.

3. The material as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the layer of opaque mineral paint is black.

4. The material as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the first zone represents between 2% and 25% of the area of the coated face.

5. The material as claimed in claim 1 , wherein, in the layer of opaque mineral paint, a weight content of alkaline silicate is between 7% and 60% and a total weight content of pigments and mineral fillers is between 20% and 90%.

6. The material as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the layer of opaque mineral paint has undergone a step of prefiring at a temperature of at least 550° C. before the deposition of the thin layer stack.

7. A laminated glazing comprising a material as claimed in claim 1 , adhesively bonded to an additional glass sheet by means of a lamination interlayer, so that the layer of opaque mineral paint and the thin layer stack are turned toward said interlayer.

8. The laminated glazing as claimed in claim 7 , wherein the additional glass sheet is made of sodium aluminosilicate glass and has a thickness of between 0.5 and 1.2 mm.

9. The laminated glazing as claimed in claim 7 , wherein the additional glass sheet bears, on the face opposite the face turned toward the lamination interlayer, an additional thin layer stack.

10. A process for obtaining a material as claimed in claim 1 , comprising:

providing a glass sheet, one of the faces of which comprises a first zone and a second zone, and then

depositing onto the first zone a water-based paint composition comprising pigments and an aqueous solution of alkaline silicate, and then

prefiring at a temperature of at least 200° C., so as to obtain a layer of mineral paint, and then

depositing, onto the layer of mineral paint and onto the second zone of the glass sheet, a thin layer stack comprising at least one electrically conductive thin layer.

11. The process as claimed in claim 10 , wherein the prefiring is performed at a temperature of at least 550° C.

12. The process as claimed in claim 10 , wherein the depositing the water-based paint composition is performed by screen printing.

13. The process as claimed in claim 10 , wherein the depositing of the thin layer stack is performed by cathode sputtering.

14. A process for obtaining a laminated glazing as claimed in claim 7 , comprising:

providing a material obtained according to the process of claim 10 and an additional glass sheet, and then

bending the material and of the additional glass sheet, and then

laminating said material with the additional glass sheet by means of a lamination interlayer, so that the layer of mineral paint and the thin layer stack are turned toward said interlayer.

15. The process as claimed in claim 14 , wherein the bending is preceded by a step of cutting the material.

16. The material as claimed in claim 2 , wherein the metallic layer is based on silver.

17. The material as claimed in claim 3 , wherein the lightness L* of the material measured in reflection on the glass side is less than 5.

18. The material as claimed in claim 4 , wherein the first zone represents between 3% and 20% of the area of the coated face.

19. The laminated glazing as claimed in claim 7 , wherein the laminated glazing is a motor vehicle windshield or sunroof.

20. The laminated glazing as claimed in claim 8 , wherein the additional glass sheet is chemically reinforced.
