  • Patent number: 9630211
    Abstract: Described is a method for producing a multicoat color and/or effect paint system by (1) applying to a substrate a pigmented aqueous basecoat material, (2) forming a polymer film from the coating material applied in stage (1), (3) applying a clearcoat material to the resultant polymer film, and then (4) curing the polymer film together with the clearcoat film. The pigmented aqueous basecoat material comprises at least one alcohol having a structure: wherein R is a C1 to C4 alkyl radical, with the proviso that R is not an n-butyl radical. The at least one alcohol is used in an amount of 0.1% to 5% by weight, based on the total weight of the aqueous basecoat material. Additionally, described are the corresponding coating materials and also the use of the alcohols in pigmented aqueous coating materials.

  • Patent number: 9364858
    Abstract: Disclosed is a method for producing a multicoat color and/or effect paint system, comprising (1) applying a pigmented aqueous basecoat to a substrate, (2) forming a polymer film from the basecoat applied in stage (1), (3) applying a clearcoat to the polymer film, and then (4) curing the polymer film together with the applied clearcoat to form a clearcoat film. The pigmented aqueous basecoat comprises at least one ester characterized by the following structure: where R1 is selected from the group of ethyl and isopropyl and R2 is a C2 to C8 radical. The at least one ester is used here in an amount of 0.1% to 5% by weight, based on the total weight of the aqueous basecoat applied in stage (1). The invention further provides the corresponding coating materials and the use of the esters in pigmented aqueous coating materials.

  • Publication number: 20150184002
    Abstract: Described is a method for producing a multicoat color and/or effect paint system, the method comprising: (1) applying a pigmented aqueous basecoat material to a substrate, (2) forming a polymer film from the basecoat material applied in stage (1), (3) applying a clearcoat material to the resulting polymer film, and subsequently (4) curing the polymer film together with the clearcoat film. In stage (1) a pigmented aqueous basecoat material is used that comprises at least one ether compound of the structural formula (I) wherein R1 is a Cx alkyl radical, R2 is a Cy alkylene radical and R3 is a Cz alkyl radical, n is 0 to 5, and wherein x+n·y+z=18 to 24. Also described are coating materials and also the use of the ether compounds in pigmented aqueous coating materials.
