  • Patent number: 6548119
    Abstract: A process for producing a two-layer coat on a motor vehicle body in an automatic motor vehicle series lacquering unit. The process comprises the steps of applying an aqueous base lacquer coating composition to the motor vehicle body, exposing the aqueous base lacquer coating to a circulating air at 25 to 45° C. having an air throughout of 0.10 to 0.70 m/s for 30 to 180 seconds, applying a transparent finishing lacquer layer of a clear lacquer coating composition to the aqueous base lacquer layer, and baking the aqueous base lacquer and transparent finishing lacquer layer.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 6368719
    Abstract: A process for preparing a multi-layer coating on an electrically conductive automotive body or an electrically conductive automotive body part by applying a cathodic electrodeposition coating layer, optionally a further coating layer and an outer clear coating, in which the cathodic electrodeposition coating layer of a cathodic electrodeposition coating composition is applied which, as the cathodic electrodeposition binder, contains a seed polymer with an amine value of 30 to 100 mg KOH/g and a hydroxyl value of 50 to 200 mg KOH/g, which can be prepared by radical polymerisation of 70 to 97 wt-% of a monomer mixture comprising hydroxy-functional olefinically unsaturated monomer and amino-functional olefinically unsaturated monomer in the presence of 3 to 30 wt-% of an aminoepoxy resin.
