Title: Resin-coated glass articles

Abstract: Articles of glass are coated with copolymers of ethylene and 2-norbornenes or terpolymers of ethylene, 2-norbornenes and 1-butene. The coating serves to reduce shatter of the glass and its scatter on breaking. Resin-coated bottles are especially useful for bottling carbonated beverages to prevent flying glass if the bottle is dropped or explodes.
