  • Patent number: 5905132
    Abstract: The invention relates to coating materials containing a water-dilutable polyurethane resin as binder. The resin can be prepared by reacting some of the free isocyanate groups present in a prepolymer (I) which contains acidic groups and isocyanate groups with a blocking agent so as to form a prepolymer (II) which contains blocked isocyanate groups, the blocking agent being employed in a quantity such that the prepolymer (II) still contains on average at least one free isocyanate group per molecule, reacting the prepolymer (II) with a compound which contains at least one primary or secondary amino group and at least one hydroxyl group in the molecule, to give a polyurethane resin, and finally converting the polyurethane resin prepared in this way into a water-dilutable polyurethane resin by at least partial neutralization of the acidic groups.

  • Patent number: 5658616
    Abstract: The invention relates to a process for spray-painting with aqueous paints, in which paints with different colors are processed, recovered paint is recycled, if desired after admixing with newly supplied paint (fresh paint), to the coating operation, and(a) the substrates are selected such that some of the substrates can painted using a mixture of the paints with different colors ("mixed paint"), and(b) the substrates are selected such that the proportion of the paints with different colors in the overall amount of paint processed is from 10 to 90% by weight, and(c) the substrates are selected such that the proportion in which the paints with different colors are processed corresponds to the proportional content of the paints with different colors in the mixed paint, and/or(d) care is taken, by selecting the color of the fresh paint which is admixed, to ensure that the recovered paint has the same color as the mixed paint.
