  • Patent number: 10363572
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for producing a multicoat paint system on a plastics substrate, in which a basecoat film or a plurality of directly successive basecoat films are produced on a plastics substrate, a clearcoat film is produced directly on the one basecoat film or on the topmost of the plurality of basecoat films, and subsequently the one or more basecoat films and the clearcoat film are jointly cured, this method being a method wherein at least one basecoat material used for the production of the basecoat films comprises at least one aqueous polyurethane-polyurea dispersion (PD) comprising polyurethane-polyurea particles, where the polyurethane-polyurea particles present in the dispersion (PD) comprise anionic groups and/or groups which can be converted into anionic groups, and have an average particle size of 40 to 2000 nm and also a gel fraction of at least 50%.

  • Publication number: 20180346740
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a process for producing a multicoat paint system on a metallic substrate, by producing a basecoat film or two or more directly successive basecoat films directly on a metallic substrate coated with a cured electrocoat system, producing a clearcoat directly on the one or the topmost of the two or more basecoat films, and then jointly curing the one or the two or more basecoat films and the clearcoat film, and which comprises at least one basecoat material used in producing the basecoat films comprising at least one aqueous polyurethane-polyurea dispersion (PD) comprising polyurethane-polyurea particles, with the polyurethane-polyurea particles present in the dispersion (PD) comprising anionic groups and/or groups which can be converted into anionic groups, and having an average particle size of 40 to 2000 nm and also a gel fraction of at least 50%.
