Abstract
A method and kit for glare control and improvement of image transmission through a reflective-transmissive surface comprising surface irregularities to control glare. A dispersion of particles is applied to the surface and allowed to dry. Then an inert fluid coating is applied to the surface to enhance clarity. A liquid dispersion comprising a flattening agent is applied to the surface and allowed to dry so that the particles and flattening agent form a transparent glare-reducing coating. An inert fluid coating is applied to sufficient thickness to remove some, but not all, of the surface irregularities created by the glare reducing coating. A method of formulating the liquid dispersion is also disclosed.
Claims18
A method of controlling glare from a reflective-transmissive surface comprising
- providing a liquid dispersion comprising organic polymeric particles and a flattening agent,
- coating the surface with said liquid dispersion,
- allowing the coating to dry leaving the organic particles and flattening agent in a transparent coating at the surface, thereby creating surface irregularities that reduce reflected glare at said surface, while allowing transmission of light through the surface to permit viewing of objects behind the surface, and
- then applying an inert fluid coating sufficiently thick to remove at least some, but not all, of the anti-glare effect of the surface irregularities.
