  • Patent number: 6534127
    Abstract: In a coating film formation method in which the thermosetting water-borne color paint (A) is coated on the surface of the substrate, then a thermosetting water-borne paint containing color pigment and/or glittering pigment (B) is coated on said coated surface, and, after predrying as necessary, a thermosetting clear paint (C) is coated and after that said 3-layer coating films of (A), (B) and (C) are simultaneously cured by heating, the solid content of the wet coat is controlled by an air jet step in which the air, whose temperature and/or humidity are controlled, is jetted from behind the paint nozzle in approximately the same direction as the atomized particles of said thermosetting water color paint (A) move to the surface of the substrate, when said paint is coated, around the spray pattern so that the air touches said pattern.

  • Patent number: 5731089
    Abstract: This invention provides a process to form a coated film characterized in that, after a cationically electrodeposition paint is applied on a metal-made article to be coated and is heat-cured, the surface of the resulting electrodeposition coated film is coated with an aqueous primer, which is mainly composed of such a thermoplastic polyurethane resin as is produced by subjecting a carboxyl group-containing urethane prepolymer to chain extension in the presence of an aqueous medium, and, successively, with an aqueous base paint, and, next, with a clear paint, and that the resulting three-layer coated films are heated and are thereby cured simultaneously. By this process, there can be formed a multi-layer coated film excellent in chipping-resistance, corrosion-resistance, weatherability and physical performances.
