Abstract
Abstract A method of forming a luminescent layer on a glass carrier (such as the wall of a discharge vessel of a low-pressure mercury vapor discharge lamp) from a suspension of grains of a luminescent material and a quantity of binder in a suspension medium. According to the invention, the suspension medium preferably consists of water and the binder mainly comprises fibrous crystals of boehmite.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 4
Claim 1
Independent Claim
96 words
A method of forming a layer of luminescent material on a glass carrier from a suspension of grains of luminescent material in a colloidal solution of a binder in a suspension medium, which suspension is contacted with the carrier in such a manner that a layer of suspension adheres thereto, the non-adherent residue of suspension is removed and the layer adhered to the carrier is dried, characterized in that the binder mainly comprises fibrous boehmite crystals up to at most 7% by weight measured with respect to the quantity of luminescent material present in the suspension.
Claim 2
Independent Claim
96 words
A method of forming a layer of luminescent material on a glass carrier from a suspension of grains of luminescent material in a colloidal solution of a binder in a suspension medium, which suspension is contacted with the carrier in such a manner that a layer of suspension adheres thereto, the non-adherent residue of suspension is removed and the layer adhered to the carrier is dried, characterized in that the binder mainly comprises fibrous boehmite crystals up to at most 7% by weight measured with respect to the quantity of luminescent material present in the suspension.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
17 words
A method as claimed in claim 1, characterized in that the suspension medium consists mainly of water.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
24 words
A low-pressure mercury vapour discharge lamp comprising a discharge vessel provided with a luminescent layer by means of the method claimed in claim 1.
