Abstract: A process for the preparation of a multi-layer coating wherein a colour- and/or special effect-imparting base lacquer coating compound is applied to a substrate optionally precoated with a primer and/or primer surfacer coating compound and/or further coating compounds and a clear lacquer layer is then applied to the colour- and/or special effect-imparting base lacquer layer, wherein the colour- and/or special effect-imparting base lacquer coating compound used is one which contains binders which can be cured by free-radical and/or cationic polymerisation under the action of high-energy radiation.

Abstract: Process for producing a multi-layer lacquer finish, in which a surfacer coating compound is applied to a substrate optionally pre-coated with a priming layer and/or further coating layers, and a top coating comprising a color-imparting and/or special-effect-imparting base lacquer layer and a transparent clear lacquer layer, or a top coating comprising a pigmented one-layer top lacquer, is then applied, in which the surfacer coating compound which is used is one which either contains binders which are curable exclusively by free radical and/or cationic polymerization, wherein the said binders are cured by means of high-energy radiation, or is one which contains binders which are curable by free radical and/or cationic polymerization, wherein the said binders are cured by means of high-energy radiation, and additionally contains chemically cross-linking binders.

Abstract: A process for multi-coat lacquering by applying a coat of filler and/or other coating compounds on to a substrate and then a top coat consisting of a base coat/clear lacquer construction or of a pigmented one-coat finish, at least one of the coats in the multi-coat construction being prepared from a coating compound which is at least partially curable by high-energy radiation, and irradiating this (these) coat(s) with UV radiation and IR radiation, a UV source having a proportion of IR radiation in its emission spectrum being, used for the irradiation with UV and IR radiation and, by alternately adding a UV filter and an IR filter and/or alternately adding and removing a UV filter or an IR filter in front of the radiation source, at least two irradiation intervals being formed, during which irradiation is variously carried out with UV radiation, IR radiation or UV radiation and IR radiation simultaneously.

Abstract: A binding-agent composition for solvent-based or aqueous coating agents can be cured at low temperature to produce coatings which are non-yellowing and resistant to solvents. The binding-agent composition contains binding-agent components based on polyethers, polyesters, polyether polyesters and/or (meth)acrylic copolymers with, in each case, at least one acryloyl group and at least one epoxide group in the molecule, whereby the acryloyl groups and epoxide groups are present in the ratio 2:8 to 8:2. Also included are several polyamines as curing agents in a proportion of equivalent weights ranging from 2:0.5 to 1:1.5. The binding agents are used in pigmented and pigment-free lacquers, for use particularly in multi-layer lacquering.
