Abstract: Described herein are a method for transferring an embossed structure, which includes at least the steps (1-i) and (2-i) or (1-ii) and (2-ii), where steps (1-i) and (2-i) or (1-ii) and (2-ii) are carried out using an embossing tool (P1) including at least one embossing die (p1), where the embossing die (p1) of the embossing tool (P1) is pretreated, before the implementation of step (2-i) or before the implementation of step (1-ii), with at least one organic solvent and/or at least one reactive diluent, and also a method of using a corresponding pretreated embossing tool (P1) including at least one embossing die (p1) for the purpose of transferring an embossed structure in such a way.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a method for transferring an embossed structure to a surface of a coating composition (B2a), which includes the steps (1-i) and (2-i) or (1-ii) and (2-ii) and also the steps (3) and optionally (4), where the steps (1-i) and (2-i) or (1-ii) and (2-ii) are performed using a composite (F1B1) which is employed as an embossing die (p2) of an embossing tool (P2) and which is composed of a substrate (F1) and of an at least partially embossed and at least partially cured coating (B1), and the coating composition (B1a) used for producing (B1) of the composite (F1B1) is a radiation-curable coating composition of defined constitution. Also described herein is a composite (F1B1).

Abstract: Disclosed herein is an aqueous electrocoating material including at least one specific binder and at least one bismuth compound, a method of using the aqueous electrocoating material for at least partially electrocoating a substrate, a coated substrate obtained from said method and an article or component including said substrate.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a method for transferring an embossed structure to at least a part of a surface of a coating (B2), using a composite (F1B1) composed of a substrate (F1) and of an at least partially embossed and at least partially cured coating (B1), where the coating (B2) and the coating (B1) of the composite (F1B1) have embossed structures which are mirror images of one another. Also described herein is a composite (B2B1F1). Further described herein is a use of this composite for producing an at least partially embossed coating (B2) in the form of a free film or a composite (B2KF2) composed of a substrate (F2), at least one adhesive (K), and the coating (B2).
