Abstract:
An article of manufacture comprising:a float glass ribbon substrate having at least one major surface; andat least one pyrolytically deposited coating deposited over the major surface of the substrate from the simultaneous directing in spaced apart relation to each other of a spray of a coating composition and a stream of gas toward the surface of the substrate such that an interference effect adjacent the surface of the substrate is produced between them so that the interference effect results in the deposited coating comprising a fade zone such that the coating has a first limit spaced apart from a second limit, in which the coating gradually decreases in the parameter selected from the group of: thickness, intensity, and density and any combination of these from the first thickness, intensity and/or density at the first limit to a second lesser thickness, intensity and/or density at the second limit.
