  • Patent number: 11274228
    Abstract: A coating material system including components (A) to (C) and also, optionally, further components, with, in a first option, all components (A) to (C) and also, where present, the further optional components being present separately from one another, in other words the individual components not being mixed with one another. In a second option of the coating material system, conversely, the aforementioned components may also be mixed wholly or at least partly with one another. Where the components are at least partly mixed with one another, for example, component (C) is mixed with component (A), while component (B) is present separately from this mixture of (A) and (C). Optionally, component (B) may also be mixed with a portion of component (C). Furthermore, the mixtures of (A) and (C) and of (B) and (C) may additionally include at least one optional component such as a solvent, for example.

  • Publication number: 20180282573
    Abstract: The invention relates to a coating material system which comprises components (A) to (C) and also, optionally, further components, with, in a first option, all components (A) to (C) and also, where present, the further optional components being present separately from one another, in other words the individual components not being mixed with one another. In a second option of the coating material system of the invention, conversely, the aforementioned components may also be mixed wholly or at least partly with one another. Where the components are at least partly mixed with one another, this means that, for example, component (C) is mixed with component (A), while component (B) is present separately from this mixture of (A) and (C). Optionally, however, component (B) may also be mixed with a portion of component (C). Furthermore, the mixtures of (A) and (C) and of (B) and (C) may additionally comprise at least one optional component such as a solvent, for example.
