Abstract: The present invention relates to a novel process for the production of coated filaments for subsequent application as print in extrusion-based 3D printers, e.g. FDM printers (fused deposition modelling printers). The filaments are coated in a separate process outside of the printer, and can also be used in a conventional extrusion printer. The present invention further relates to the coating device for application of the coating to the filament and to a roll containing the coated filaments.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a (meth)acrylate polymer for preparing a coating composition, where the (meth)acrylate polymer has a weight-average molecular weight in the range from 10 000 to 60 000 g/mol and the (meth)acrylate polymer comprises 0.5 to 40% by weight of units derived from (meth)acrylic monomers which in the alkyl radical have at least one double bond and 8 to 40 carbon atoms, 0.1 to 10% by weight of units derived from monomers containing acid groups, and 50 to 99.4% by weight of units derived from (meth)acrylates having 1 to 12 carbon atoms in the alkyl radical that have no double bonds or heteroatoms in the alkyl radical, and these (meth)acrylates having 1 to 12 carbon atoms in the alkyl radical are selected such that a polymer composed of these (meth)acrylates having 1 to 12 carbon atoms in the alkyl radical has a glass transition temperature of at least 40° C., based in each case on the weight of the (meth)acrylate polymer.

Abstract: The invention relates to a process for preparing binders for plastisols that ensures high and consistent product quality over a multiplicity of batches. The binders obtained from this process allow the formulation of plastisols which possess improved stability on storage and, after gelling, improved mechanical properties.
