Abstract: Water dilutable binders, prepared by subjecting to free radical polymerization(A) from 20 to 90% by weight of a mixture of(a1) from 3 to 50% by weight of acrylic acid, methacrylic acid or a mixture of acrylic acid and methacrylic acid, and(a2) from 50 to 97% by weight of an ethylenically unsaturated monomer or a mixture of ethylenically unsaturated monomers,in the presence of(B) from 9.9 to 79.9% by weight of a halogen-free polyolefin free from maleic anhydride groups, or a mixture of halogen-free polyolefins free from maleic anhydride groups, and(C) from 0.1 to 10% by weight of a free radical initiator or a mixture of free radical initiatorsand, after neutralization of at least 20% of the carboxyl groups contained in the resulting polymerization product, dispersing the polymerization product in water, the sum of the percentages by weight of components (A), (B) and (C) and (a1) and (a2) in each case always being 100% by weight.

Abstract: Disclosed is a filler paste comprising polyurethane resin, chlorinated polyolefin, filler and/or extender, and organic solvents. The filler paste may also include physically drying binders, pigments, and/or rheological additives. Also disclosed is a basecoat containing the filler paste. The basecoat containing the filler paste may be applied directly to polyolefin substrates. After a flash-off period, a basecoat that does not contain the filler paste may be applied on top of the first basecoat layer. After a flash-off period for the second basecoat layer, a clearcoat may be applied and subsequently the applied layers may be cured together, with heating.

Abstract: The invention relates to a cathodic electro-dipping process, which comprises a procedure in which the electro-dipping primer used contains an adduct containing urethane groups which is obtainable by reacting with one another a polyester-polyol or polyether-polyol, a polyisocyanate and a compound which contains a hydroxyl group and at least one ketimine group in the molecule.

Abstract: Heat-curable aqueous coating agents for cathodic electrocoating contain(A) an amino-containing polymerization, polycondensation or polyaddition product as a binder which becomes water-dilutable on protonation with an acid,(B) a crosslinking agent and(C) from 0.05 to 10% by weight, based on components (A) and (B), of a monomeric organic complexing agent.

Abstract: Heat-reactive crosslinking agents for surface coating binders, based on phenolic Mannich bases, are obtainable by reacting(A) one equivalent of a polyphenol with(B) from 0.5 to 2 equivalents of formaldehyde or of a formaldehyde-donating compound and(C) from 0.5 to 1 equivalent of one or more secondary aliphatic amines,removing the water of reaction and reacting the resulting reaction produce with(D) from 0.01 to 1 equivalent of a mono- and/or polyfunctional isocyanate compound.

Abstract: Heat-curable hot-melt enamels, a process for their preparation, and the production of highly heat-resistant wire windings. These heat-curable hot-melt enamels are solutions of a nylon in organic solvents, which contain, as the nylon, a nylon possessing functional amino groups and additionally contain a blocked di- or polyisocyanate. They are useful for the production of highly heat-resistant wire windings.

Abstract: Polyamidoimide coatings having a long shelf life are prepared by a process in which a tricarboxylic anhydride, some of which may have been replaced by tetracarboxylic dianhydrides or dicarboxylic acids, is reacted with a polyisocyanate possessing 2 or more isocyanate groups in an organic solvent which is inert to isocyanate groups, from 0.7 to 0.98 isocyanate group being employed per anhydride and carboxyl group, and completely blocked polyisocyanate being added to the reaction mixture before, during or after the reaction in an amount such that the ratio of the total amount of anhydride and carboxyl groups employed to the total amount of isocyanate groups used, including those present in blocked form, is from 1:1 to 1:1.1.The polyamidoimide coatings are useful for coating electric conductors.
