Abstract: A method and composition for coating surfaces, a corresponding coating and the use of objects coated according to said method. A cleaned, metallic surface is contacted with an aqueous composition that is a dispersion or suspension, and drying and/or baking the organic coating or optionally, drying the organic coating and coating with an equivalent or additional coating composition prior to a drying and/or baking. The aqueous composition has a pH of 4 to 11 and contains an anionic polyelectrolyte in a quantity of 0.01 to 5.0 wt. % relative to the total mass of the composition, which may have a solids content of from 2 to 40 wt. %. The solids have an average particle size from 10 to 1000 nm. A coating forms on the basis of an ionogenic gel which binds cations released from the metallic surface that originate from a pretreatment stage or from the contacting.

Abstract: A method for electroless coating of a substrate by applying an activating coat of polyelectrolyte or salt with a first aqueous composition, rinsing of the activating coat such that the activating coat is not entirely removed The activated surface that has remained after rinsing is then contacted with an aqueous composition in the form of a solution, emulsion or suspension to form an organic secondary coat (precipitation coat), and drying. The activating coat contains at least one cationic polyelectrolyte or at least one cationic salt in solution in water. The aqueous composition which forms the secondary coat contains constituents which can be precipitated, deposited and/or salted out and which are anionically, zwitterionically, sterically or cationically stabilized. The dry film formed in the process, which is made of the activating coat and the secondary coat, has a thickness of at least 1 ?m.

Abstract: A method for the electroless coating of surfaces of articles and particles with a multiplicity of inorganic and organic water-insoluble particles to form a substantially flush-resistant layer of high particle density, in which the particles are applied to the surfaces to be coated in an aqueous composition that can be stabilized or is stable, in the form of a dispersion, and are applied to the surface to be coated substantially or predominantly by electrostatic forces and are applied to and secured on the surfaces to be coated substantially or predominantly by electrostatic forces. The surface to be coated are first activated by an activating agent, wherein an activation layer with charges is formed by the activating agent on the surfaces to be coated.

Abstract: A laminated safety glass pane having a predetermined breaking location and an impact point is described which contains at least two toughened glass panes and an intermediate layer, wherein predetermined breaking lines (=the predetermined breaking location), which are formed by discontinuities in the intermediate layer, are present in order to create an emergency exit and the intermediate layer is embodied in one location (for example on one side) of the laminated safety glass such as to be flexible and not able to be broken through, such that when the predetermined breaking lines are broken through, an emergency exit flap is formed which is connected to the remainder of the pane in tear-resistant manner and in a manner pivotable therewith by means of a hinged joint, and wherein the laminated glass pane contains, in at least one location (at the impact point) in the intermediate layer, one or more bodies made of a material whereof the hardness is greater than that of the glass used.

Abstract: The invention relates to a hot-melt adhesive for sealing the edge of laminated glass that has been produced according to cast-resin technology. The inventive adhesive comprises acrylate or metacrylate homopolymers or copolymers or mixtures thereof. The invention also relates to a method for the production and to the uses of said hot-melt adhesive.

Abstract: A composite safety glass panel with a predetermined breaking position is described, containing at least two prestressed glass panels and a polymeric intermediate layer. The polymeric intermediate layer contains two plastics materials of different fracture resistance, different elongation at break and different fracture propagation resistance. The composite glass panel contains as predetermined breaking position the plastics material having the lower fracture resistance, the lower elongation at break and the lower fracture propagation resistance, and in the region that does rot constitute the predetermined breaking position contains the plastics material having the higher fracture resistance, the higher elongation at break and the higher fracture propagation resistance. The composite glass panel also contains at at least one place (at the striking point) one or more bodies of a material whose hardness is greater than that of the glass that is used.
