  • Patent number: 7772320
    Abstract: A thermosetting coating material comprising (A) at least 50% by weight, based on the amount of nonvolatile substances in the coating material of (A1) from 0% to 50% by weight, based on the entirety of components (A1) and (A2), of a polymethacrylate copolymer containing more than 50% by weight, based on the entirety of comonomers in the copolymer (A1), of free-radically polymerizable, ethylenically unsaturated compounds (a1) containing at least one reactive group of the formula I —X—SiR?x(OR?)3-x??(I) and (A2) from 50% to 100% by weight, based on the entirety of components (A1) and (A2), of an adduct of polyisocyanate and alkoxysilane, (A2) containing at least one reactive group of the formula II: —NR—C(O)—N—(X—SiR?x(OR?)3-x)n(X?—SiR?y(OR?)3-y)m??(II) (B) a catalyst for the crosslinking of the —Si(OR?)3-x units, and (C) an aprotic solvent or a mixture of aprotic solvents.

  • Patent number: 7687576
    Abstract: A thermosetting transparent coating material, its preparation and use. The coating includes (meth)acrylate (co)polymer having a number-average molecular weight of from 1,000 to 6,000 daltons, a glass transition temperature of ?15 to +70° C., and a hydroxyl number of from 80 to 200 mg KOH/g; polyester having a number-average molecular weight of from 800 to 6,000 daltons, a hydroxyl number of from 80 to 200 mg KOH/g and an acid number of from 1 to 50 mg KOH/g, comprising, based on the polyester, from 30 to 70% by weight of cycloaliphatic structural units; a blocked polyisocyanate in which the blocked polyisocyanate groups are attached to flexibilizing structural units which, as part of a three-dimensional network, lower its glass transition temperature; and blocked polyisocyanate in which the blocked polyisocyanate groups are attached to hardening structural units which, as part of a three-dimensional network, raise its glass transition temperature.

  • Publication number: 20080220173
    Abstract: The invention relates to a coating material comprising (A) at least 50% by weight, based on the amount of nonvolatile substances in the coating material, of at least one compound (A1) containing at least one reactive group of the formula(I) —NR—C(O)—N—(X—SiR?x(OR?)3-x)n(X?—SiR?y(OR?)3-y)m ??(I) where R=hydrogen, alkyl, cycloalkyl, aryl or aralkyl, the carbon chain being uninterrupted or interrupted by nonadjacent oxygen, sulfur or NRa groups, with Ra=alkyl, cycloalkyl, aryl or aralkyl, R?=hydrogen, alkyl or cycloalkyl, the carbon chain being uninterrupted or interrupted by nonadjacent oxygen, sulfur or NRa groups, X, X?=linear and/or branched alkylene or cycloalkylene radical of 2 to 20 carbon atoms, R?=alkyl, cycloalkyl, aryl or aralkyl, the carbon chain being uninterrupted or interrupted by nonadjacent oxygen, sulfur or NRa groups, n=0 to 2, m=0 to 2, m+n=2, and x, y=0 to 2, (B) a catalyst for the crosslinking of the —Si(OR?)3-X(y) units, and (C) an aprotic solvent or a mixture of aprotic solvents.
