Abstract
A solar control coating (30) includes a first phase adjustment layer (40); a first metal functional layer (46); a second phase adjustment layer (50); a second metal functional layer (58); a third phase adjustment layer (62); a third metal functional layer (70); a fourth phase adjustment layer (86); and optionally, a protective layer (92). At least one of the metal functional layers (46, 58, 70) includes a metal functional multi-film layer including (i) at least one infrared reflective film and (ii) at least one absorptive film.
Claims20
A solar control coating, comprising:
- a first phase adjustment layer;
- a first metal functional layer located over the first phase adjustment layer;
- a first primer layer over the first metal functional layer;
- a second phase adjustment layer located over the first metal functional layer;
- a second metal functional layer located over the second phase adjustment layer;
