  • Publication number: 20140023782
    Abstract: The invention relates to a water-based can inner coating comprising a copolymer or a copolymer mixture of at least one aliphatic and acyclic alkene with at least one ?,?-unsaturated carboxylic acid in water-dispersed form, wherein the acid number of the copolymer or of the copolymer mixture is at least 20 mg KOH/g, but not more than 200 mg KOH/g, and at least one water-dispersed or water-soluble curing agent. Inventive can inner coatings are characterized in that due to the good crosslinking of the copolymer or of the copolymer mixture with the curing agent, the cured film on the inner surfaces of metal cans possesses excellent properties in regard to hardness, abrasion resistance and resistance towards hot liquids.

  • Patent number: 8425170
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for the bonded adhesion, or connection, of a plurality of wire-shaped individual elements into an arrangement, particularly into a wire band, wherein the adjacent individual elements have predetermined breaking points allowing for the mechanical removal of the individual elements. The bonded adhesion is brought about according to the invention utilizing a two-layer system on the basis of acrylate resins consisting of an inner coating (A) and of an outer coating (B), wherein the inner coating (A) has a lower hardness, than the outer coating. In a further aspect the invention also comprises arranging a plurality of wire-shaped individual elements through such a bonded connection, particularly a wire band.
