Abstract: The present invention is directed to a method for producing a coating system providing corrosion-protective properties when applied to metal surfaces, particularly in the form of a water-based (waterborne) composition, preferably in the form of a dispersion (i.e. emulsion or latex, respectively), as well as to coating system thus produced and to its various applications. The resulting coating system provides superior properties with respect to corrosion protection, on the one hand, and adhesion to metal surfaces, on the other hand, while at the same time being environmentally compatible and easy to use and to apply and being producible in an economic way.

Abstract: The process for the manufacture of an auto-oxidatively cross-linking hybrid polymer, in particular an aqueous hybrid polymer dispersion, comprises the step of reacting in a mini-emulsion process one or more ethylenically unsaturated monomers to form an addition polymer in the presence of a modified auto-oxidatively crosslinkable (AOC) polymer which has been modified with terminal unsaturated groups of the formula —C(R1)?CH2 wherein R1 is hydrogen, alkyl or aryl and wherein the AOC polymer is a hydrophobic polymer having an acid number between 5 to 30. The resulting aqueous hybrid polymer dispersion can be used for the manufacture of coating compositions, ink compositions or adhesives and coating compositions comprising the hybrid polymer dispersion as a binder.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for producing nanocomposite dispersions comprising composite particles of inorganic nanoparticles and organic polymers in a continuous phase, especially in a dispersion medium, as well as to the nanocomposite dispersions thus obtained and to the use thereof.
