Abstract

A coated substrate includes a soft coating deposited by physical vapor deposition provided on at least a part of at least one main face of the substrate. The coated substrate also includes a protective coating provided on at least a part of the main face above the soft coating. A process for making a coated substrate includes a soft coating and a protective coating.

First claim

1 : A coated substrate comprising:
a substrate comprising two main faces separated by edges, a soft coating comprising one or more layers deposited by physical vapor deposition provided on at least a part of at least one main face of the substrate, a protective coating provided on at least a part of the main face above the soft coating, optionally at least one intermediate coating provided on at least a part of the main face between the soft coating and the protective coating, wherein the protective coating is a radiation cured coating obtained by curing a radiation curable composition comprising one or more compounds bearing one or more cyclic ether CEC, and when the optional at least one intermediate coating is a sol-gel coating, the sol-gel coating comprises from 0 to 1.59 wt % of cerium of a total weight of metal, metalloid and lanthanide elements of the sol-gel coating.

2 : The coated substrate according to claim 1 , wherein the one or more cyclic ether CEC comprises 2 or 3 carbon atoms in an ether cycle.

3 : The coated substrate according to claim 1 , wherein the one or more cyclic ether CEC is selected from the group consisting of cycloaliphatic epoxides with one or more epoxide group, compounds comprising one or more glycidyl ether group, compounds comprising one or more glycidyl ester group, oxetanes, or any mixture of these.

4 : The coated substrate according to claim 1 , wherein the radiation curable composition comprises at least 5 wt % of one or more CEC relative to a weight of dry content of the composition.

5 : The coated substrate according to claim 1 , wherein the radiation curable composition comprises at least 3 wt % of one or more aromatic functional CEC relative to the weight of the dry content of the composition.

6 : The coated substrate according to claim 5 , wherein a ratio of a total amount of the aromatic functional CEC to a total amount of aliphatic CEC ranges from 0.01 to 0.60.

7 : The coated substrate according to claim 1 , wherein the radiation curable composition further comprises at least one polyol.

8 : The coated substrate according claim 1 , wherein the radiation curable composition further comprises at least one alkyd.

9 : The coated substrate according to claim 1 , wherein the protective coating is insoluble in water and resistant to hydrolysis.

10 : The coated substrate according to claim 1 , wherein the protective coating has a thickness of at least 500 nm.

11 : The coated substrate according to claim 1 , wherein the substrate is a glass substrate.

12 : The coated substrate according to claim 1 , wherein the soft coating is heat treatable.

13 : The coated substrate according to claim 1 , wherein the soft coating is a solar control and/or insulating low-E coating.

14 : A process for making a coated substrate according to claim 1 , comprising:
a) forming a soft coating on at least a part of at least one main face of the substrate, b) applying a radiation curable composition comprising one or more compounds bearing one or more cyclic ether CEC on at least a part of the main face above the soft coating, c) curing the radiation curable composition so as to form the protective coating, d) optionally forming at least one intermediate coating on at least a part of the main face between the soft coating and the protective coating, and when the optional at least one intermediate coating is a sol-gel coating, the sol-gel coating comprises from 0 to 1.59 wt % of cerium of the total weight of metal, metalloid and lanthanide elements of the sol-gel coating.

15 : The process according to claim 14 , wherein the substrate is a glass substrate and the soft coating is a heat treatable soft coating.

16 : The process according to claim 14 , comprising a subsequent step of applying a heat treatment to the coated substrate to form a heat treated substrate.

17 : The process according to claim 14 , wherein the protective coating is removed by the heat treatment.
