  • Publication number: 20220127490
    Abstract: The present invention relates to an aqueous autodeposition composition comprising iron(II) ions, fluoride ions, at least one chain transfer agent and at least one dispersed organic binder component, wherein the organic binder component comprises at least one water-dispersible polymerizable (meth)acrylic acid component; and at least one acrylated mono- or diphosphate ester component.
    Type: Application

    Inventors: Ulrich Dawidowski, Nicole Auweiler
  • Patent number: 10487222
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a conductive coating composition comprising a polyolefin copolymer resin comprising an olefin monomer and acrylic acid comonomer or (meth)acrylic acid comonomer, a plurality of anisotropic nanoparticles and a solvent.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: December 7, 2016
    Date of Patent: November 26, 2019
    Assignee: Henkel AG & Co. KGaA
    Inventors: Ard de Zeeuw, Nicole Auweiler, Gunther Dreezen, Inge van der Meulen
  • Patent number: 10315216
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a water-based can inner coating based on a copolymer or a copolymer blend of at least one aliphatic and acyclic alkene having at least one ?,?-unsaturated carboxylic acid in water-dispersed form, wherein the can inner coating contains a water-soluble curing agent selected from inorganic compounds of the elements Zr and/or Ti, so that the need for using organic hardener systems can be largely avoided. The present invention further relates to a method for the internal coating of tin cans or aluminum cans, in which the previously mentioned can inner coating is directly applied to the metallic inner surfaces of the cans and cured without any need to carry out a conversion treatment for improving coating adhesion of the inner surfaces of the cans.

  • Patent number: 9889468
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for manufacturing coated can lids from aluminum strip, and is based on the finding that flexible, easily formable coatings having high abrasion resistance result from the use of water-based lacquers containing a copolymer or a copolymer mixture of at least one aliphatic, acyclic alkene with at least one ?,?-unsaturated carboxylic acid in water-dispersed form, and a curing system. In a preferred embodiment of the method, the application of a primer coating can be dispensed with entirely when water-soluble compounds of the elements Zr and/or Ti in the lacquer are used as the curing system.

  • Publication number: 20180037748
    Abstract: A method for sealing oxide protective layers on metal substrates using aqueous compositions containing a copolymer or a copolymer mixture of at least one aliphatic and acyclic alkene with at least one ?,?-unsaturated carboxylic acid in a water-dispersed and/or water-dissolved form with a copolymer or copolymer mixture acid number of at least 20 mg KOH/g, but not more than 200 mg KOH/g, the invention also relates to the use of such copolymers or such a copolymer mixture for sealing protective layers based on oxides and/or hydroxides of the elements Si, Ti and/or Zr on an aluminum substrate where the protective layer has a thickness of at least 2 microns.
