Strengthened glass containers resistant to delamination and damage
First Claim
1. A glass container comprising:
- a body comprising a borosilicate glass having a Type 1 chemical durability according to USP <
660>
, the body enclosing an interior volume and having an inner surface, an outer surface and a wall thickness extending between the outer surface and the inner surface, wherein at least the inner surface of the body has a delamination factor less than or equal to 10;
a compressively stressed layer extending from the outer surface of the body into the wall thickness, the compressively stressed layer having a surface compressive stress greater than or equal to 150 MPa; and
a lubricous coating positioned around at least a portion of the outer surface of the body, wherein the outer surface of the body with the lubricous coating has a coefficient of friction less than or equal to 0.7 and wherein the lubricous coating comprises at least one of a metal nitride, a metal sulfide, a metal oxide, a diamond-like carbon, a graphene, a carbide coating, an inorganic salt, or a polymer.

Abstract
The glass containers described herein are resistant to delamination, have improved strength, and increased damage resistance. In one embodiment, a glass container may include a body having an inner surface, an outer surface and a wall thickness extending between the outer surface and the inner surface. At least the inner surface of the body may have a delamination factor less than or equal to 10. The body may also have a compressively stressed layer extending from the outer surface of the body into the wall thickness. The compressively stressed layer may have a surface compressive stress greater than or equal to 150 MPa. A lubricous coating may be positioned around at least a portion of the outer surface of the body, such that the outer surface of the body with the lubricous coating has a coefficient of friction less than or equal to 0.7.
