  • Patent number: 6783807
    Abstract: The surfaces of apparatuses and apparatus parts for chemical plant construction, including, for example, apparatus, container and reactor walls, discharge apparatuses, fittings, pumps, filters, compressors, centrifuges, columns, heat exchangers, dryers, comminuting machines, internals, packings and mixing elements, are coated by a process wherein protuberances having a mean height of from 100 nm to 50 &mgr;m with a mean spacing of from 100 nm to 100 &mgr;m are produced on the surface to be coated and the coating is applied thereon by currentless deposition of a metal layer or of a metal-polymer dispersion layer with the aid of a plating bath which contains a metal electrolyte, a reducing agent and optionally a polymer or polymer blend to be deposited, in dispersed form.

  • Patent number: 6447836
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method of and a device for optimizing at least one coating material at at least one point of a substrate surface to which the coating material is applied. The method, which is carried out with the corresponding device, comprises at least the following steps: a) applying said at least one coating material to said at least one point of the substrate surface, b) curing said at least one coating material at said at least one point of the substrate surface, and c) determining the state, especially the curing and/or yellowing and/or gloss, of said coating material at said at least one point of the substrate surface, possessed by said coating material as a consequence of steps a) and b).
