  • Patent number: 6080296
    Abstract: A method of applying several coats to an electrically conducting substrate by applying a primer coat using electrophoresis, stoving the primer coat, applying directly to the stoved primer coat a colored and/or special effect coating layer made of an aqueous coating material containing color and/or special effect pigments and including as a binder: A) 50 to 85% by weight of one of more hybrid binder vehicles based on polyesters and on (meth)acrylic copolymers with a hydroxyl number of 100 to 350 mg KOH/g and an acid number of 20 to 60 mg KOH/g; B) 0 to 20% by weight of one or more of binder vehicles which are different from A); and C) 15 to 50% by weight of one or more free or blocked polyisocyanates and/or one or more triazine-based components which crosslink with the hydroxyl groups of component A) with the formation of ether and/or ester groups, at least 50% by weight of the (meth)acrylic copolymers of component A) being produced in the presence of at least 20% by weight of the polyester or polyesters of co

  • Patent number: 5852120
    Abstract: Aqueous, heat-curable coating compound containingfrom 38.5 to 80% by weight of one or more film-forming copolymers and/or cocondensates which are emulsifiable in water or rendered water soluble by neutralisation with bases, having a number average molecular weight (Mn) of from 800 to 10,000, a hydroxyl number of from 60 to 390 and an acid number of from 15 to 60,B) from 0 to 25.5% by weight of one or more polyester oligomers having a calculated molecular weight of from 200 to 1000, a hydroxyl number of from 280 to 600 and an acid number of from 0 to 1.5,C) from 3.5 to 40% by weight of one or more amine resin cross-linking agents andD) from 0.5 to 28% by weight of one or more masked polyisocyanates,the percentages by weight of components A) to D) being based in each case on the solids contents by weight of the resins and adding up to 100% by weight,and water and optionally one or more organic solvents, pigments, fillers and/or the conventional auxiliary agents and additives used in lacquers.

  • Patent number: 5015688
    Abstract: Aqueous heat-curable coating substances in a polyester and acrylic resin base and a process for their manufacture. The new coating substances are usable as aqueous, heat-curable coatings and as clear varnish coating substances. The new heat-curable aqueous coating substances contain as binding agents 20 to 45%/weight of an amine resin cross-linking agent and 80 to 55%/weight of a polyester oligomer polyacrylate which is water-soluble following neutralization with bases and has a hydroxyl value of 150 to 390 and an acid value of 16 to 40, manufactured by the radical polymerization of a hydroxyfunctional (meth) acrylic acid ester, a monofunctional ethylenically unsaturated acid and, if required, an .alpha., .beta. ethylenically unsaturated monomer with no functional groups, in a polyester oligomer.
