GLASS COMPOSITION INTENDED FOR THE MANUFACTURE OF
WINDOWS THAT ABSORB ULTRAVIOLET AND INFRARED RADIATION
The invention relates to a glass composition of the
soda-lime-silica type that absorbs infrared and
ultraviolet radiation. More precisely, the invention
relates to a glass composition for the production of
flat glass products by floating on a bath of molten
metal such as tin (the "float" process) , these flat
glass products being intended especially, but not
exclusively, for forming the windshields and front side
windows of a vehicle.
Automotive glazing is subject to very strict
requirements. In terms of optical properties, these
requirements are sometimes governed by regulations, for
example as regards the light transmission of a
windshield. Glazing intended for the production of a
windshield must therefore have an overall light
transmission factor (TLA) under illuminant A of at
least 75%. Glazing intended for the production of front
side windows must have, under the same conditions, a
TLA factor of at least 70%. The energy transmission of
windows is often reduced in order to improve the
thermal comfort of the user or to decrease the emission
of gases harmful to the environment by reducing the
consumption of vehicles fitted with air conditioners.
To prevent the internal furnishings from being
degraded, automobile manufacturers require that windows
also have a low ultraviolet radiation transmission.
Windows that have the ability to absorb both in those
parts of the light spectrum corresponding to infrared
and to ultraviolet therefore meet these requirements.
Such glazing is usually manufactured by the float
process, which comprises the melting of batch materials
and the floating of the molten glass on a bath of
molten metal, generally tin, in order to form a glass
ribbon. This ribbon is then cut into sheets, which may

subsequently be bent or undergo a treatment to increase
their mechanical properties, for example a thermal or
chemical toughening treatment.
The compositions suitable for the production of float
glass are generally composed of a glass matrix of the
soda-lime-silica type and frequently include agents
that absorb in certain regions of the optical spectrum
(colorants and/or agents that absorb infrared and/or
ultraviolet radiation).
The soda-lime-silica matrix conventionally used for
this type of glass comprises the following constituents
(in percentages by weight:

The optical absorbent agent most commonly used is iron,
present in the glass both in ferric iron form, in which
form ultraviolet radiation is absorbed, and in ferrous
iron form, which absorbs mainly infrared radiation.
Glasses containing only iron as optical absorbent agent
usually have a green color due to the presence of the
two aforementioned ionic forms: precise control of the
relative quantities of ferric iron and ferrous iron
(and therefore of the "redox" defined as the ratio by
weight of ferrous iron expressed as FeO to the amount
by weight of total iron expressed as Fe203) makes it
possible to achieve the coloration and the optical
performance that are desired.
However, it is apparent that the protection against
ultraviolet radiation afforded by iron oxide alone may
prove to be insufficient. To alleviate this drawback,

it has been proposed to add agents to the glass matrix
that absorb specifically in the UV, such as cerium
oxide (CeO2) or titanium oxide (TiO2) .
Thus, WO-A-91/07356 has proposed soda-lime-silica glass
3 to 5 mm in thickness, the infrared and ultraviolet
transmission properties of which are obtained by adding
0.7 to 1.2 5% iron oxide, given a redox value of 0.23 to
0.29, CeO2 and, optionally, TiO2. The glass described
consists of a conventional soda-lime-silica matrix that
includes magnesium oxide in an amount greater than 3%.
EP-A-469 446 also describes standard glass with a soda-
lime-silica matrix. Its optical properties are obtained
by using glass with a redox of less than 0.275, with a
total iron oxide content of greater than 0.85% and with
a limited content of CeO2, of less than 0.5%. The glass
described is rich in iron oxide and oxidized, and
therefore inexpensive as it exploits to the maximum the
capability of ferric iron to absorb ultraviolet rays,
so as to add a minimum amount of CeO2. However, one
drawback of oxidized glass lies in their lower
absorption in the infrared, this absorption being
provided by ferrous ions.
WO-A-94/14716 describes glass whose matrix composition
is modified so as to give it greater absorption in the
infrared and lower absorption in the visible, hence
increased infrared selectivity (that is to say the
ratio of light transmission to energy transmission). An
essential characteristic of such a matrix is its low
amount of MgO (0 to 2%) . The glass described possesses
a redox of between 0.28 and 0.30 and, in certain cases,
has good ultraviolet absorption properties thanks to
the addition of cerium oxide.
Patent US 6 133 179 describes the use of tungsten oxide
WO3 in glass having various matrices, including the
modified matrix described in the aforementioned

application WO-A-94/14716, so as to obtain low
ultraviolet transmission values.
The aforementioned glasses have the major drawback of
having a high manufacturing cost because they contain
cerium oxide, possibly titanium oxide and/or tungsten
oxide, these oxides being very expensive. Although
present in small amounts, these oxides contribute in
fact to significantly increasing the cost of the glass.
It is an object of the present invention to provide a
glass composition of the soda-lime-silica type that is
both inexpensive and capable of forming a glass
possessing transmission properties in the visible,
infrared and ultraviolet that are at least equivalent
to those of known compositions that can be used as
automotive glazing, especially as the windshield and
front side windows of a vehicle.
It is another object of the invention to propose a
glass composition capable of being processed under the
conditions of the float process, by floating the glass
on a bath of molten metal.
These objects are achieved according to the present
invention by the composition of the soda-lime-silica
type comprising the oxides below, in contents varying
within the following limits by weight:

and the absorbent agents below, in contents varying
within the following limits by weight:


the glass having a redox factor of 0.23 or less and
containing no tungsten oxide WO3.
It should be pointed out here that the soda-lime-silica
glass composition may contain, apart from the
inevitable impurities, a small proportion (up to 1%) of
other constituents, for example agents (SO3, Cl, Sb2O3,
As2O3) that help the melting or refining of the glass,
or constituents deriving from a possible addition of
recycled cullet into the glass batch.
Within the context of the invention, the term "redox"
is understood to mean the ratio of the weight content
of ferrous iron expressed in FeO form to the weight
content of total iron expressed in Fe2O3 oxide form.
The glasses according to the invention have a light
transmission (TLA) generally of 65% or higher, for
example 70%, and an energy transmission (TE) of 46% or
less, or 44% or less and even 43% or less for a
thickness of 3 to 5 mm. In accordance with the
invention, the light transmission (TLA) is defined as
that calculated using illuminant A, the ultraviolet
transmission (TUV) is defined as that calculated
according to the ISO 9050 standard and the energy
transmission (TE) is defined as that calculated using
the Parry Moon (air mass = 2) solar spectral
distribution.
The selectivity is defined as the ratio of the light
transmission (TLA) to the energy transmission (TE) for
a given thickness.
The composition according to the invention makes it
possible to obtain a glass having a high selectivity,

this being particularly advantageous when it is
intended to form automotive glazing. This is because
such a glass makes it possible to limit heat-up due to
solar radiation and consequently to increase thermal
comfort in the passenger compartment. Preferably, the
selectivity of the glass for a thickness varying from 3
to 5 mm is 1.60 or higher, or 1.62, and better still
1.65 or higher.
The composition according to the invention makes it
possible to obtain a glass preferably having, for a
thickness varying from 3 to 5 mm, a TUV not exceeding
14%, especially 12% and even 10%.
In the glasses according to the invention, the silica
SiO2 is generally kept within very narrow limits for
the following reasons: above about 8 0%, the viscosity
of the glass and its ability to devitrify greatly
increase, making it more difficult to melt it and to
pour it onto a bath of molten tin, while below 65% the
hydrolytic resistance of the glass rapidly decreases,
as does also the transmission in the visible.
The alkali metal oxides Na2O and K2O facilitate melting
of the glass and make it possible to adjust its
viscosity at high temperature so as to keep it close to
that of a standard glass. K2O may be used up to about
5%, as above this the problem of the high cost of the
composition arises. Moreover, the percentage content of
K2O may be increased essentially only to the detriment
of Na2O, which contributes to increasing the viscosity.
The sum of the Na2O and K2O contents expressed as
percentages by weight, is preferably at least 10% and
advantageously less than 20%, especially 15% or less or
even 14% or less. This is because below 15% it appears
that the ferric ions have a modified chemical
environment, which increases their capability of
absorbing ultraviolet radiation. This compensates in
particular for the absence of tungsten oxide.

Alkaline-earth metal oxides allow the viscosity of the
glass to be adapted to the glass production conditions.
MgO also plays a particularly important role in the
transmission properties of the glasses, owing to its
effect of modifying the shape of the ferrous iron
absorption band. Its content must necessarily not
exceed 2%. Preferably, the MgO content of the glasses
according to the invention must not exceed 1%, or even
0.5%.
CaO makes it possible to reduce the viscosity of the
glass at high temperature and to increase its
hydrolytic resistance. The lowering of the MgO content
is preferably compensated for with the oxide CaO,
rather than SiO2 and Na2O, for viscosity and cost
reasons respectively. For these various reasons, the
CaO content is preferably 9% or higher, and more
preferably 10.5% or higher.
BaO makes it possible to increase the light
transmission and it can be added to the composition
according to the invention with a content of less than
5%. BaO has a much weaker influence than MgO and CaO on
the viscosity of the glass and the increase in its
content is essentially made to the detriment of the
alkali metal oxides, MgO and in particular CaO. Any
large increase in BaO therefore contributes to
increasing the viscosity of the glass, especially at
low temperatures. Preferably, the glasses according to
the invention contain no BaO.
Apart from respecting the limits defined above for the
variation in the content of each alkaline-earth metal
oxide, it is preferable, in order to obtain the desired
transmission properties, to limit the sum of the
percentages by weight of MgO, CaO and BaO to a value of
15% or less.

By using the absorbent agents within the limits of the
invention it is possible for the optical properties of
the glass to be optimally adjusted and for the desired
performance to be achieved.
As indicated above, iron oxide is present in the form
of ferric or ferrous ions. The ferric ions absorb in
the ultraviolet and give a slight yellow-to-green
color, whereas the ferrous ions absorb strongly in the
infrared, while giving the glass a blue color. The
redox plays a key role in obtaining the properties of
the glass of the present invention. Under the redox
conditions usually employed within the context of a
float installation, and in the absence of other
colorants, the glasses containing iron oxide have a
green color as already explained. The optical
properties of ferrous iron are due to an absorption
band having its maximum absorption around a wavelength
ranging from 1000 to 1100 nm (and therefore in the
infrared range) and extending into the range of visible
wavelengths. The effect of modifying the glass matrix
as described in application WO-A-94/14716, and
especially the effect of reducing the MgO content in
the glass matrix, is to modify the shape of this
absorption band, in particular shifting it toward the
infrared. This results in glasses having higher
infrared selectivity, i.e. a lower energy transmission
than that of glasses with a standard matrix, for an
equivalent light transmission.
The inventors have surprisingly discovered that by
producing the glass with a modified matrix under
oxidizing conditions (with a redox of 0.23 or less and
preferably of 0.19 or less) with a particular iron
content, it is possible to obtain glasses having light,
energy and ultraviolet transmission properties similar
to those of glasses with a standard matrix, but more
economically as it is unnecessary to use as large an

amount of cerium oxide and/or titanium oxide. The
effect of the matrix composition, especially the low
MgO content, on obtaining optical properties of the
same degree as those exhibited by a conventional glass
using a lower content of cerium and/or titanium oxides
has proven to be quite unexpected.
According to the invention, the iron oxide content may
vary from 0.7 to 1.6%. When the content is less than
0.7%, the transmission of the glasses obtained is too
high, especially in the infrared and ultraviolet
ranges. A content of greater than 1.6% does not provide
a light transmission that meets the regulatory
requirements for use as an automobile windshield or
front side window. Furthermore, the melting of such
compositions with a high iron content is made
difficult, especially when it is carried out in an
open-flame furnace owing to the presence of a large
quantity of ferrous iron, the latter being responsible
for too low a transmission of the radiation emitted by
the flames in the glass bath. Preferably, the iron
oxide content of the glasses according to the invention
is at least 0.8%, but advantageously at most 1.3% and
better still at most 0.95%.
The redox of the glass is maintained at a value of 0.23
or less, for example 0.19, for reasons associated
essentially with the optical properties of the glasses
obtained, but also with the melting and refining of the
glass. To control the redox, it is possible to use
known oxidizing agents, such as sodium sulfate, and/or
reducing agents such as coke in a suitable amount. The
economic advantage of the glasses according to the
invention is at its optimum when the glasses are
oxidized, since the main UV absorbent agent is then
ferric iron. Another advantage of using oxidized
glasses in the production of glazing with a low UV
transmission stems from the fact that the thermal
toughening very significantly reduces the TUV of the

glazing, this being the more so the higher the ferric
iron content of the glass. The redox of the glasses
according to the invention is therefore maintained
preferably at contents of 0.19 or less, more preferably
0.18 or less. Since highly oxidized glasses are more
difficult to refine and have a yellow tint undesirable
for esthetic reasons, the redox of the glasses
according to the invention is preferably maintained at
above 0.12, preferably above 0.15.
Cerium oxide CeO2, present in the glass in the form of
Ce3+ and Ce4+ ions, is advantageous as it exhibits low
absorption in the visible. Owing to its high cost, CeO2
contents not exceeding 0.9% or 0.7%, and better still
not exceeding 0.5%, are preferred.
Titanium oxide TiO2 plays a similar role to cerium
oxide when it is in the presence of ferrous oxide FeO.
Although the maximum content provided within the
context of the invention may reach 1.5%, it is
preferable for it not to exceed 0.1% in order to
prevent the appearance of a yellow coloration. Such a
value corresponds to the content usually encountered
owing to the degree of purity of the batch materials
employed (inevitable impurities). Advantageously, the
glass composition according to the invention contains
no titanium oxide.
The glass composition according to the invention may
also contain other colorants for adjusting the tint of
the glass. As an example, mention may be made of the
colorants chosen from transition elements such as CoO,
Cr2O3, NiO, Se, V2O5, CuO, or else from rare-earth
oxides, such as Er2O3, La2O3, Nd2O3. In particular to
compensate for the possible yellow color due to the
presence of TiO2 and/or to significant oxidation of the
glass, it is possible to use up to 10 ppm of cobalt
oxide CoO and/or up to 5 0 ppm of copper oxide CuO. In
general, the total content of these colorants is less

than 0.1% and most often the composition contains no
other colorants than iron oxide and cerium oxide.
One particularly suitable composition for producing a
relatively thin glass sheet, with a thickness of around
3.15 mm, includes the absorbent agents below within the
following limits by weight:

Such a composition possesses a redox ranging from 0.15
to 0.22, preferably 0.15 to 0.19, and makes it possible
to obtain a glass having, for a thickness of 3.15 mm, a
light transmission TLA of greater than 70%, an
ultraviolet transmission of less than 12% and a
selectivity of greater than 1.62. This thin glass pane
may be paired with a another clear glass pane and the
combination can then be laminated to form a laminated
glass having a light transmission TLA of greater than
70%.
Another composition particularly suitable for producing
a glass sheet with a thickness of around 3.85 mm,
useful for forming automotive glazing, includes the
absorbent agents below within the following limits by
weight:

Such a composition possesses a redox ranging from 0.16
to 0.22, preferably 0.16 to 0.19, and makes it possible
to obtain a glass having, for a thickness of 3.85 mm, a
light transmission TLA of greater than 70%, an
ultraviolet transmission of less than 12% and a
selectivity of greater than 1.62.
Another composition particularly suitable for the
production of a glass sheet with a thickness of around
4.85 mm, useful for forming windows for trucks or

buses, includes the absorbent agents below within the
following limits by weight:

Such a composition possesses a redox ranging from 0.18
to 0.22, preferably 0.18 to 0.19, and makes it possible
to obtain a glass having, for a thickness of 4.85 mm, a
light transmission TLA of greater than 70%, an ultra-
violet transmission of less than 12% and a selectivity
of greater than 1.62.
The glass composition according to the invention can be
melted under the conditions for the production of float
glass. The melting generally takes place in open-flame
furnaces, possibly provided with electrodes for heating
the glass in the bulk by passing an electrical current
between the two electrodes. To facilitate melting, and
especially to make this mechanically useful, the glass
composition advantageously has a temperature
corresponding to a viscosity η such that logr| = 2 which
is less than 1500°C, preferably a temperature
corresponding to a viscosity η, expressed in poise,
such that logη = 3.5 (this temperature being denoted by
Tlogη=3.5) and a liquidus temperature (denoted by Tliq)
which satisfy the equation:

and preferably the equation:

The subject of the invention is also a window,
especially for an automobile, comprising at least one
glass sheet having the composition according to the
invention.
A better appreciation of the advantages of the present
invention will be gained from the examples of glass
compositions given below.

In these examples, the values of the following
properties, calculated for a given thickness using an
experimental spectrum, are indicated:
the overall light transmission factor (TLA)
under illuminant A, calculated between 380 and 780 nm.
This calculation is carried out taking into
consideration illuminant A, as defined by the ISO/CIE
10526 standard and the CIE 1931 colorimetric reference
observer, as defined by the ISO/CIE 10527 standard;
the overall energy transmission factor (TE)
integrated between 295 and 2500 nm according to the ISO
9050 standard (Parry Moon, air mass 2) ;
the selectivity (SE), defined as the ratio of
the total light transmission (TLA) under illuminant A
to the total energy transmission (TE);
the ultraviolet transmission factor (TUV),
calculated using the glass transmission spectrum
between 2 90 and 3 80 nm according to the ISO 9 05 0
standard; and
the redox, defined as being the ratio of the
mass content of ferrous iron (expressed as FeO) to the
mass content of total iron (expressed as Fe2O3) .
To determine the redox, the total iron (Fe2O3) content
is measured by X-ray fluorescence and the ferrous iron
(FeO) content is measured by wet chemistry, or
calculated from the transmission spectrum using the
Beer-Lambert law.
Example 1 (according to the invention) and Example C2
(comparative example) in Table 1 illustrate the
advantage of the glasses according to the invention in
terms of CeO2 savings compared to glasses with a
standard matrix. The two glasses have the same optical
properties (TLA = 71.1%; TE = 43.9%; TUV = 10.9%) for a
thickness of 3.5 mm, these three quantities determining
unequivocally the choice of the three characteristics
of the composition, namely the total iron Fe2O3 content,
the redox and the CeO2 content. It is clearly apparent

that the example according to the invention is much
less expensive than the comparative example, the amount
of CeO2 added to achieve the desired TUV being less
than half. For equivalent optical properties, the glass
according to the invention is richer in iron, more
oxidized and less expensive than the glass with a
standard matrix.

Tables 2, 3 and 4 are examples of glass compositions
according to the invention that are particularly
suitable for use as automotive glazing, with
thicknesses of 3.85 mm, 3.15 mm and 4.85 mm,
respectively.
Each of the compositions indicated in these tables was
produced from the following glass matrix, the contents
of which are expressed in percentages by weight, the
matrix being corrected in terms of silica in order to
be adapted to the total content of absorbent agents
added:
