Abstract

Glass or glass ceramic substrates are provided that have a decorative coating. Methods for coating a glass or glass ceramic substrate with a decorative coating are also provided. In the method, a first, textured layer is applied which is filled with a further layer, so that a layer material of graded composition is formed.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A method for applying a decorative coating to a glass or glass ceramic substrate, comprising the steps of:
applying a first layer and baking the first layer at a temperature so that cracks arise, the first layer having a textured surface, wherein the first layer is applied as a glass flux and wherein the first layer includes pigment particles; and
applying a second layer onto the first layer, wherein the second layer fills the textured surface at least partially, so that material of the first layer merges into material of the second layer.

2. The method as in claim 1 , wherein the first layer is baked, whereby the glass flux particles melt while the pigment particles remain intact.

3. The method as in claim 2 , wherein the pigment particles are embedded by the glass flux.

4. The method as in claim 1 , wherein the material of the second layer comprises pigments or colorants.

5. The method as in claim 4 , wherein the material of the first or second layer comprises pigments in a proportion of more than 50% in percent by weight.

6. The method as in claim 1 , wherein at least the first layer comprises metal oxide particles as the pigment particles and a further inorganic material.

7. The method as in claim 1 , wherein at least the first layer comprises pigment particles having of a mean particle size of more than 0.25 μm.

8. The method as in claim 1 , wherein the second layer is an at least partially polymeric layer.

9. The method as in claim 8 , wherein the partially polymeric layer is select from the group consisting of a polysiloxane, polysilsesquioxane, polyurethane, epoxy-functionalized silicone resin, polyester-functionalized silicone resin, and a sol-gel.

10. The method as in claim 1 , wherein the first layer applied has a maximum texture depth from 0.1 to 5 μm.

11. The method as in claim 10 , wherein the maximum texture depth of the first layer is more than 40% of the maximum thickness of the first layer.

12. The method as in claim 1 , wherein the first layer applied is a layer having a closed porosity of less than 30 %.

13. The method as in claim 1 , wherein the first layer is baked at a temperature of more than 500° C.

14. The method as in claim 1 , wherein the pigment particles are added to the material of the first layer.

15. The method as in claim 1 , wherein the first and second layers exhibit a lightness L in the Lab color space of more than 29.0 when individually applied, and wherein the first and second layers exhibit a lightness L of less than 28.0.

16. The method as in claim 1 , wherein the step of applying the first layer comprises applying the first layer to a further textured layer so that the further textured layer is below the first layer.

17. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the first layer includes filler particles.

18. A method for applying a decorative coating to a glass or glass ceramic substrate, comprising the steps of:
applying a first layer and baking the first layer at a temperature so that cracks arise, the first layer having a textured surface, wherein the first layer is applied as a glass flux and wherein the first layer includes filler particles; and
applying a second layer onto the first layer, wherein the second layer fills the textured surface and cracks at least partially so that material of the first layer merges into material of the second layer.

19. A method for applying a decorative coating to a glass or glass ceramic substrate, comprising the steps of:
applying to the substrate a glass flux including pigment particles and/or filler particles;
baking the glass flux including the pigment particles and/or filler particles to form a first layer having a closed porosity of less than 5% and a textured surface; and
applying a second layer onto the first layer so that the second layer fills the textured surface and fills any cracks produced in the first layer by the baking so that material of the first layer merges into material of the second layer.
