Abstract
Glass modules for use in the assembly of equipment, installations and for pipe works, the surfaces of which are entirely or partially coated with a conductive coating, in particular from transparent conductive polymers for the purpose of reducing surface resistance, their use, as well as the equipment, installation and pipe works made therefrom.
Claims11
A glass module for the construction of equipment and installations and for pipe works, comprising one or more layers of a first coating material on one or more surfaces of the glass module in the form of a non-conducting coating of one of a polyurethane coating or glass fiber mats saturated with polyester resin, and one of more layers of a further coating of a second coating material deposited entirely or partially over the first coating to realize a reduction in surface resistance to thereby secure the module from electrostatic charges, wherein the second coating material is a transparent conductive organic polymer.
An installation comprising one or more glass modules, wherein the glass modules are provided with one or more layers of a first coating material on one or more surfaces of the glass modules in the form of a non-conducting coating of one of a polyurethane coating or glass fiber mats saturated with polyester resin, and one or more layers of a further coating with a second coating material deposited entirely or partially over the first coating for reduction of surface resistance, wherein the second coating material is a transparent conductive organic polymer to thereby secure the module from electrostatic charges and wherein the modules are joined to each other via a conductive juncture.
A process of coating a glass module comprising the steps of depositing one or more layers of a coating of a first coating material on one or more surfaces of the glass module in the form of a non-conducting coating of one of a polyurethane costing or glass fiber mats saturated with polyester resin;
- depositing one or more layers of a further coating from a second coating material deposited entirely or partially over the first coating to thereby realize a reduction in surface resistance to thereby secure the module from electrostatic charges;
- and wherein the second coating material is a transparent conductive organic polymer.
