20130299378 | Strengthening Glass Containers - A glass container and related methods of manufacturing a glass container. A solution having a composition including a silane, a solvent, a catalyst, and water, is applied to an exterior glass surface of the glass container, at a temperature between 40 and 60 degrees Celsius, such that the solution at least partially fills the surface imperfections. The glass container is heated at a temperature greater than 500 degrees Celsius to produce Si—O—Si bonds with the exterior glass surface of the glass container to result in a coating having between 10% and 20% silicate-based material by weight. | 11-14-2013 |
20130341228 | Glass Container Having A Graphic Data Carrier - A method of making a glass container with an optically readable graphic data carrier. A glass container is exposed to electromagnetic radiation to produce discoloration within the glass of the container, and then focused beam energy is directed at the glass container in a pattern corresponding to a desired graphic data carrier to heat the glass and selectively remove the discoloration in the pattern corresponding to the desired graphic data carrier. | 12-26-2013 |

20140117240 | Inspectable Black Glass Containers - A soda-lime-silica glass container and related methods of manufacturing. A black-strikable glass composition having a base glass portion and a latent colorant portion is prepared. The base glass portion includes soda-lime-silica glass materials and one or more blue colorant materials, and the latent colorant portion includes cuprous oxide (Cu | 05-01-2014 |
20140120278 | Color-Strikable Glass Containers - Latent colorant material compositions, soda-lime-silica glass compositions, and related methods of manufacturing color-strikable glass containers. The latent colorant material compositions may be introduced into a plurality of base glass compositions having redox numbers in the range of −40 to +20 to produce color-strikable glass compositions and color-strikable glass containers. The latent colorant material compositions introduced into the base glass compositions include a mixture of cuprous oxide (Cu | 05-01-2014 |
20140154438 | SURFACE TREATMENT PROCESS FOR GLASS CONTAINERS - A glass container and a process for chemically modifying a surface portion of a glass container using an ion-exchange process. At least a portion of the glass container is immersed in or in contact with an aqueous electrolyte solution comprising salts of at least one group IA alkali metal and having a temperature of about 75 degrees Celsius such that exchangeable alkali metal ions in a surface portion of the glass container are exchanged or replaced by alkali metal ions in the electrolyte solution. The alkali metal ions that replace the exchangeable ions in the surface portion of the glass container have either a smaller or a larger atomic radius than the exchangeable ions. | 06-05-2014 |
20140182337 | Coatings for Enhancing Glass Strength - Methods of manufacturing and coating a glass container by applying an aminofunctional silane coating composition to an exterior surface of the glass container, and then curing the silane coating composition to form a crosslinked siloxane coating on the exterior surface of the glass container. | 07-03-2014 |
20150060444 | Polysilazane-Derived Coating for Glass Containers - A glass container and a process for forming an inorganic silica coating on an exterior surface of the glass container to improve one or more surface characteristics of the glass container. A sol-gel solution including a polysilazane and an organic solvent is applied to the exterior surface of the glass container to form a sol-gel coating thereon. The glass container and the sol-gel coating are then exposed to a water vapor-containing environment and heated at a temperature of between 150 degrees Celsius and 600 degrees Celsius to transform the sol-gel coating into an inorganic silica coating. The as-formed silica coating has a hardness of greater than 8.5 GPa and is bonded to the exterior surface of the glass container through a plurality of siloxane bonds. | 03-05-2015 |
