Abstract: An electrically conductive wire coated with a curable coating composition that forms a cured coating having a high partial discharge resitance and good mechanical properties. A process for coating an electrically conductive wire with a curable coating composition and curing the coating composition to form a coating having high partial discharge resistance and good mechanical properties.

Abstract: The proposed aqueous coating product for the production of coatings whose perceived color changes with the angle from which they are viewed contains: one or more water-diluable binders; one or more scale-type pigments, the hue of which depends on the angle from which they are viewed, these pigments consisting of oriented, three-dimensionally cross-linked substances of chiral phase, liquid crystalline structure; optionally one or more cross-linking agents; optionally one or more coloring absorption pigments and/or fillers; and optionally additives usually used in coatings of this type.

Abstract: A process for producing a gravel-impact-resistant multicoat lacquer finish by cathodic electrodeposition of a primer on an electrically conductive substrate, subsequent application of a primer surfacer coat of an aqueous paste filler that contains one or several water-dilutable binders that are curable at temperatures up to 180.degree. C., with subsequent application of one or several base coats and finishing coats. To produce the primer surfacer coat, an aqueous paste filler is used that contains 0.1-20 wt % polyamide powder, polyacrylonitrile powder or mixtures thereof with particle diameters in the range 0.1-100 .mu.m, wherein the high-solid value of the aqueous paste filler is not less than 75 wt %.
