Hot end metal oxide coatings for glass substrates and containers

Abstract

A method of coating a glass substrate with a hot end coating is provided. The method includes a step of applying a composition comprising at least one organic salt of a metal onto a surface of the glass substrate to form a hot end coating on the glass substrate. The glass surface has a temperature of from about 450° C. to about 800° C. when the composition comprising at least one organic salt of a metal is applied thereto. After application the hot end coating includes oxide(s) of the metal, or combinations thereof. A coated glass article is also provided. The coating on the glass article is a hot end coating including at least one of Group 3A oxides, Group 4A oxides, or combinations thereof.
