Abstract: The invention relates to a method for producing a thermal paper comprising a carrier substrate, an intermediate pigment coat, a thermal reaction coat and optionally one or more additional intermediate coats and/or top coats, said intermediate pigment coat being formed from a pigment, binding agents and optionally an aqueous application suspension containing additional application additives, by means of a curtain coating method. Said method is characterised in that an aqueous application suspension containing calcined kaolin, with a solid content of between approximately 25 and 75 wt. %, is applied at an operating speed of at least approximately 500 nm/min in a curtain coating method and is dried. Said method is technically simple and economical to perform. In particular, the method enables the use of the curtain coating method at a higher speed of more than 750 m/min and in particular more than 1500 m/min.

Abstract: A process for electrodepositing a multilayer deposit on an electrically-conductive substrate from a single electrodeposition bath yields a deposit which includes a sequence of essentially repeating groups of layers. Each group of layers comprises a layer of a first electrodeposited material and a layer of a second electrodeposited layer. The process includes the steps of immersing the substrate in an electrodeposition bath and repeatedly passing a charge burst of a first electric current and a second electric current through the electrodeposition bath to the substrate. The first electric current is a pulsed current with a first pulsed-on/off waveform and a first peak current density which is effective to electrodeposit the first electrodeposited material. The second electric current has a second waveform and a second current density which is effective to electrodeposit the second electrodeposited material.
