Abstract (en)

[origin: WO9736836A1] A sealing glass modifier that decreases the chemical reduction of PbO in a PbO-containing sealing glass to metallic lead during sealing or firing, and enables the sealing glass to be used in combination with a VOC-free or low-VOC vehicle. The modifier preferably comprises an inorganic nitrate that is thermally stable at the temperatures at which the sealing glass frit seals the glass surfaces together, but that can be reduced to a lower oxidation state when exposed to the reducing conditions. The modifier is added to the sealing glass system in an amount sufficient to prevent the PbO from being chemically reduced when the sealing glass is fired in the presence of reducing conditions at a temperature sufficient to seal the glass. Particularly preferred modifiers are Bi(NO3)3.5H2O and/or Zn(NO3)2.6H2O. The modifier may be incorporated as a component of the sealing glass. Alternatively, the modifier may be dissolved or dispersed in the vehicle.
