Patent ID: 8512832

Claim:
A lightweighted glass container consisting essentially of a single coating providing an increase in low end burst pressure of 26% and up to 122%, as compared to an uncoated container without a cold-end coating, the coating derived from a coating mixture comprising: a methacrylate component and an epoxy resin component, a silane component comprising a pre-hydrolysed silane solution, a silane cross-linker, an epoxy curing agent, an initiator agent, and at least one of: an allyl ether component and a metal drier component; wherein the lightweighted glass container is produced by a method comprising the steps of: coating an uncoated glass container, having a surface as exiting from an LEHR, on the continuous production line with the coating mixture to provide a single-layer coating on the glass container; and heating the single-layer coated glass container to about 450° C. to thermally cure the coating on the container, without requiring UV light.
