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 coated glass ceramic substrate, comprising:
a substrate made of glass ceramic having a top surface and a bottom surface, the top surface being configured as a cooktop;
a first layer on the bottom surface of the substrate, the first layer including pigment particles embedded in a glass flux, the first layer having a textured surface that has a maximum texture depth from 0.1 to 5 μm that is more than 40% of a maximum thickness of the first layer; and
a second layer on the first layer, the second layer at least partially filling the textured surface of the first layer so that the second layer is merged into the first layer with components of the first and second layers being hardly distinguishable from one another in a scanning micrograph,
wherein the first layer comprises pigments in a proportion of more than 50% by weight.

2. The coated glass ceramic substrate of claim 1 , wherein the second layer is a polymeric layer.

3. The coated glass ceramic substrate of claim 2 , wherein the polymeric layer includes colorants or pigments.

4. The coated glass ceramic substrate of claim 1 , wherein the first and second layers form a gradient layer that is black.

5. The coated glass ceramic substrate of claim 1 , wherein the second layer is selected from a group consisting of a polysiloxane, polysilsesquioxane, polyurethane, epoxy-functionalized silicone resin, polyester-functionalized silicone resin, and a sol-gel.

6. The coated glass ceramic substrate of claim 1 , wherein the second layer comprises pigments in a proportion of more than 50% by weight.

7. The coated glass ceramic substrate of claim 6 , wherein the pigment particles of the first layer comprise metal oxide particles, and wherein the first layer further comprises an inorganic material.

8. The coated glass ceramic substrate of claim 1 , wherein the pigment particles of the first layer have a mean particle size of more than 0.25 μm.

9. The coated glass ceramic substrate of claim 1 , wherein the first and second layers individually exhibit a lightness L in the Lab color space of more than 29.0, and wherein the first and second layers combined exhibit a lightness L of less than 28.0.

10. The coated glass ceramic substrate of claim 1 , further comprising a further textured layer below the first layer.

11. The coated glass ceramic substrate of claim 10 , wherein the further textured layer is omitted in at least one area.

12. The coated glass ceramic substrate of claim 1 , wherein the first layer further comprises filler particles.

13. The coated glass ceramic substrate of claim 1 , wherein the first layer has a closed porosity of less than 30%.

14. The coated glass ceramic substrate of claim 1 , wherein the second layer has a gloss level of G1 according to EN ISO 2813 when viewed through the substrate from a side opposite the first and second layers.

15. A cooktop comprising the coated glass ceramic substrate of claim 1 .

16. The cooktop of claim 15 , comprising a display area and/or a hob, wherein the first and second layers are left out of the display area and/or the hob.

17. The coated glass ceramic substrate of claim 1 , wherein the textured surface further comprises cracks, wherein the second layer at least partially fills the textured surface and the cracks so that the second layer is merged into the first layer.

18. The substrate of claim 1 , wherein the substrate is made of a zero-expansion material.

19. A coated glass ceramic substrate, comprising:
a substrate made of glass ceramic having a top surface and a bottom surface, the top surface being configured as a cooktop;
a first layer on the bottom surface the substrate, the first layer including pigment particles embedded in a glass flux, the first layer having a textured surface that has a maximum texture depth from 0.1 to 5 μm that is more than 40% of a maximum thickness of the first layer; and
a second layer on the first layer, the second layer at least partially filling the textured surface of the first layer so that the second layer is merged into the first layer with components of the first and second layers being hardly distinguishable from one another in a scanning micrograph, wherein the second layer is selected from a group consisting of a polysiloxane, polysilsesquioxane, polyurethane, epoxy-functionalized silicone resin, and polyester-functionalized silicone resin, wherein the first layer comprises pigments in a proportion of more than 50% by weight.

20. The substrate of claim 19 , wherein the substrate is made of a zero-expansion material.

21. A coated glass ceramic substrate, comprising:
a substrate made of glass ceramic having a top surface and a bottom surface, the top surface being configured as a cooktop;
a first layer on the bottom the substrate, the first layer including pigment particles embedded in a glass flux, the first layer having a textured surface comprising cracks; and
a second layer on the first layer, wherein the second layer at least partially fills the textured surface and the cracks so that the second layer is merged into the first layer with components of the first and second layers being hardly distinguishable from one another in a scanning micrograph.

22. The substrate of claim 21 , wherein the second layer is selected from a group consisting of polysilsesquioxane, polyurethane, epoxy-functionalized silicone resin, and polyester-functionalized silicone resin.

23. The substrate of claim 21 , wherein the first layer further comprises filler particles made of glass spheres and/or hollow glass spheres.

24. The substrate of claim 21 , wherein the substrate is made of a zero-expansion material.
