| abstract |
This composition for treating the surface of glass, particularly flat glass or hollow glass, or else glass in the form of fibers, is able to be applied as a thin layer on said glass. It comprises, in aqueous medium, the following constituents (A) and (B): (A) at least one compound having at least one functional group f(A); and (B) at least one compound having at least one functional group f( B ) capable of reacting with the functional group or groups f (A) of constituent (A) within the thin layer applied to the glass so as to convert said layer by polycondensation and/or polymerization into a solid layer, at least one of the compounds satisfying the definition of (A) and (B) having at least one R—O— functional group attached to a silicon atom, R representing an alkyl residue, and it being possible for at least some of the compounds having at least one R—O— functional group attached to a silicon atom to be in a hydrolyzed form resulting from prehydrolysis or spontaneous hydrolysis taking place during contact of the compound(s) with the aqueous medium. |
