More Information
Summary:An article for reflecting solar energy includes a coating stack having solar reflecting films and metal oxide films, the coating stack applied on a major surface of a glass substrate, and a protective overcoat comprising a first and a second surface, wherein the first surface of the protective overcoat is disposed toward the solar reflective films and metal oxide films; and a polymer encapsulant over outer wall surfaces of the coating stack, the second surface of the protective overcoat and over peripheral edges of the coated article, the encapsulant having a base layer, a top layer and metallic corrosion-inhibitive material in the base layer.
