Certain example embodiments of this invention relate to a frit slurry paste for use in assemblies (e.g., a vacuum insulated glass unit or a plasma display panel), and methods of making the same. Frit powder, binder material, and a water-based solvent are mixed together to form an intermediate mixture. The frit powder is substantially lead free, and the water-based solvent is provided at a first temperature. Additional water-based solvent is added to the intermediate mixture to form a frit slurry paste. The additional water-based solvent is provided at a second temperature, with the second temperature being lower than the first temperature. The binder material is provided at a concentration of 0.001%-20% by weight with respect to the frit slurry paste or the frit slurry paste absent the frit powder. The frit slurry paste has a bulk viscosity of 2,000-200,000 cps.

1. A method of making a vacuum insulated glass (VIG) unit, the method comprising: providing a first substrate;applying a frit slurry paste around edges of the first substrate;providing a second substrate such that the first and second substrates are substantially parallel and spaced apart from one another and such that the frit slurry paste is provided around edges of the second substrate;firing the frit slurry paste to create an edge seal; andat least partially evacuating a cavity formed between the first and second substrates,wherein the frit slurry paste has a bulk viscosity of 20,000-100,000 cps and comprises: a water-based solvent,a frit powder comprising bismuth, the frit powder being substantially free from lead, anda binder comprising methylcellulose at a concentration of 0.25%-5% by weight, andwherein the frit slurry paste has annealing, softening, and working temperatures less than about 470 degrees C. and that all lie within a range of about 120 degrees C. of one another. 2. The method of claim 1, wherein the frit slurry paste is extruded onto at least the first substrate. 3. The method of claim 1, wherein the frit powder comprises Bi2O3—B2O3. 4. The method of claim 1, wherein the frit slurry paste further comprising non-lead additives capable of absorbing 800-2,000 nm infrared radiation. 5. The method of claim 1, wherein the binder is methylcellulose 400 cps 2% aqueous solution. 6. The method of claim 1, wherein the frit powder further comprises other ceramic. 7.

A method of making a vacuum insulated glass (VIG) window unit, the method comprising: providing a first transparent substrate;applying a frit slurry paste on the first transparent substrate;providing a second transparent substrate such that the first and second substrates for the VIG window unit are substantially parallel and spaced apart from each other and such that the frit slurry paste is provided between at least the first and second substrates;firing the frit slurry paste to create an edge seal that encompasses a cavity between the substrates; andat least partially evacuating the cavity formed between the first and second substrates,wherein the frit slurry paste comprises: a water-based solvent,a frit powder comprising bismuth, the frit powder being substantially free from lead, anda binder comprising methylcellulose at a concentration of 0.25%-5% by weight, andwherein the edge seal has a coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) of 7.5-9.36×10−7 K. 10. The method of claim 9, wherein a low-E coating is provided on the first substrate. 11. The method of claim 9, wherein the frit powder comprises Bi2O3—B2O3. 12. The method of claim 9, wherein the frit slurry paste further comprises non-lead additives capable of absorbing 800-2,000 nm infrared radiation. 13. The method of claim 9, wherein the frit powder consists essentially of Bi2O3—B2O3. 14. The method of claim 1, wherein the edge seal has a coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) of 7.5-9.36×10−7 K. 15. The method of claim 9, wherein the frit slurry paste has annealing, softening, and working temperatures less than about 470 degrees C. and that all lie within a range of about 120 degrees C. of one another, the annealing, softening, and working temperatures of the frit slurry paste being selected to substantially match respective properties for the substrates the edge seal contacts, post firing.
