  • Publication number: 20090306241
    Abstract: A liquid coating material which is curable with actinic radiation and is substantially or completely free from organic solvents and from corrosion-inhibiting pigments, including (A) at least one constituent which is one of a low molecular mass, oligomeric organic compounds, low molecular mass polymeric organic compounds said oligomeric and polymeric compounds containing at least one group which can be activated with actinic radiation, or air-drying and oxidatively drying alkyd resins, (B) at least one constituent which is an acidic esters of polyphosphoric acid, or acidic esters of monophosphoric acid and at least one compound (b1), said compound containing at least one hydroxyl group and at least one group which can be activated with actinic radiation, and (C) at least one kind of nanoparticles.

  • Patent number: 7384989
    Abstract: A liquid coating material in the form of a water-in-oil dispersion which is curable with actinic radiation, is substantially or completely free from organic solvents and has a pH<5, comprising (A) at least one constituent selected from the group consisting of low molecular mass, oligomeric, and polymeric organic compounds which contain at least one group which can be activated with actinic radiation, and also air-drying and oxidatively drying alkyd resins, (B) at least one acidic ester of polyphosphoric acid and at least one compound (b1) containing at least one hydroxyl group and at least one group which can be activated with actinic radiation, (C) at least one acidic ester of monophosphoric acid and at least one compound (c1) containing at least one hydroxyl group and at least one group which can be activated with actinic radiation, and (D) at least one acidic, corrosion-inhibiting pigment based on polyphosphoric acid; process for its preparation, and its use as a coil coating primer.

  • Patent number: 6821246
    Abstract: A rigid endoscope optics including an outer tube (1) of which the distal aperture is closed by a window (2) affixed to the outer tube in a sealed manner. The outer tube encloses an image transmitter (4, 5) running through it and a light guide (6) running parallel to the transmitter, the transmitter and pipe being configured by their distal ends (5, 7) looking and radiating, respectively, through the window. The light guide is cross-sectionally separated from the image transmitter's cross-section at least in the region of defined between their distal ends and the window by an optically opaque partition (3). The partition rests by its distal edge against the window, wherein an elastic and opague insert is disposed between the distal end of the partition (3) against the window (2).
