The present invention relates generally to silicate-based coatings and to methods to make and apply same. In one embodiment, the silicate-coatings of the present invention are formed from a two part mixture of phosphate-based component and a glass-based component. In another embodiment, the silicate-based coatings of the present invention are free from any organic materials.

Certain example embodiments of this invention relate to heat treatable painted glass substrates that have less than 11 wt. % (more preferably 5.40 wt. %, and still more preferably 5-9 wt. %) organic content in an as-deposited state, and/or methods of making the same. The paint preferably is curable at a temperature less than 300 degrees C. over a relatively short amount of time (e.g., less than 10-15 minutes), and the cured coated article may be stored for lengthy periods of time before being further processed. In certain example embodiments, the coated article undergoes a significant color change upon heat treatment

Bulk paint and ceramic powder systems, methods of forming same, and methods of forming a flexible ceramic coating on a metal substrate are disclosed. The systems may include a ceramic composition having between 2 to 30 weight percent of an alkali metal oxide, such as K.sub.2O, Na.sub.2O, and Li.sub.2O or mixtures thereof, between 10 to 74 weight percent SiO.sub.2, and between 23 to 79 weight percent B.sub.2O.sub.3. Additives that are nonwetting with molten metals, such as boron nitride, provide durable coatings for metal processing operations. The ceramic composition may include less than 5 weight percent additional metal oxides. The bulk paint system further may include water and a cellulosic suspension agent to form a bulk paint. The ceramic powder system may be processed to form a uniform powder. The bulk paint or uniform powder may be applied to a metal substrate, such as a ferrous metal substrate, dried, and heated to form a flexible coating on the metal substrate.

Method for the production of a vacuum insulated glazing unit with more than two panes and a vacuum insulated glazing unit with more than two panes. In one example a triple pane vacuum insulated glazing assembly is fused and the cavity is backfilled during cooling whereby the centre pane temperature may be lowered. This has the advantage of keeping the stresses below the failure boundaries and enabling faster production.

The disclosure relates to a glass and a melt solder for the passivation of semiconductor components, the use of the glass or the melt solder for the passivation of semiconductor components, a passivated semiconductor component and a method for passivating semiconductor components.
