Abstract

A vehicle pane includes a glass substrate with elemental silver applied thereon discontinuously, as one or a plurality of lines, wherein the elemental silver has a coating that contains a thiol and/or a silicone resin and/or a silicate.

Claims (23)

1 . A vehicle pane comprising a glass sub strate with elemental silver applied thereon discontinuously as one or a plurality of lines, wherein the elemental silver has a coating that contains a thiol and/or a silicone resin and/or a silicate.

2 . The vehicle pane according to claim 1 , having the form of a rear window.

3 . The vehicle pane according to claim 1 , wherein the silver is applied as a plurality of lines that are connected to one another at their ends.

4 . The vehicle pane according to claim 3 , wherein the plurality of lines form part of a heating system.

5 . The vehicle pane according to claim 1 , wherein the elemental silver applied as one or a plurality of lines forms one or a plurality of conductor tracks of at least one sensor or at least one antenna.

6 . The vehicle pane according to claim 1 , wherein the coating contains a thiol.

7 . The vehicle pane according to claim 1 , wherein the coatingcontains a silicone resin.

8 . The vehicle pane according to claim 7 , wherein the coating additionally contains one or more of a zinc salt, a zinc complex, a zirconium salt, and a zirconium complex.

9 . The vehicle pane according to claim 1 , wherein the coating contains silicate.

10 . The vehicle pane according to claim 1 , wherein the glass substrate is a heat-treated glass.

11 . The vehicle pane according to claim 1 , wherein the coating is applied only on the elemental silver.

12 . The vehicle pane according to claim 1 , wherein the coating is applied substantially over an entire surface of the vehicle pane.

13 . A method for producing a vehicle pane according to claim 1 , comprising:

providing a glass substrate that has a system applied thereon formed from one or a plurality of wires that contain elemental silver,

applying a coating that comprises a thiol and/or a silicone resin and/or silicate on the one or the plurality of wires, and

optionally, curing the coating.

14 . A method comprising manufacturing a vehicle pane that includes a system formed from one or a plurality of wires comprising elemental silver, the manufacturing comprising applying a composition on the wires as a coating, the composition comprising a thiol and/or a silicone resin.

15 . A method comprising manufacturing a vehicle pane that includes a system formed from one or a plurality of wires comprising elemental silver, wherein silicate that is applied on the wires as a coating is produced from a composition by combustion, the composition comprising a silicate precursor.

16 . The vehicle pane according to claim 6 , wherein the thiol is an aliphatic C12 to C20 thiol.

17 . The vehicle pane according to claim 7 , wherein the silicone resin is an alkylated silicone resin.

18 . The vehicle pane according to claim 9 , wherein the coating is made of silicate.

19 . The vehicle pane according to claim 10 , wherein the glass substrate is a tempered glass.

20 . The method according to claim 14 , wherein the coating is a protective coating against discoloration.
