Patent number: 7312255Abstract: The invention relates to a mixture for the application of a polymeric coating to a substrate. Said mixtures comprises water and optionally an organic solvent, at least one water-dispersible radically polymerizable compound, at least one water-dispersible polymerizable crosslinking compound and at least one water-dispersible compound which forms free radicals upon exposure to actinic radiation. The radically polymerizable compound cannot fully set with the free radicals formed on irradiation at room temperature, but rather comprises further reactive bonds, which lead to further or complete setting with the crosslinking compound. The invention further relates to a method for application of a non-adhesive corrosion protection layer to a substrate, by application of a mixture to the surface of a metallic or polymeric substrate, drying the mixture and irradiation of the applied coating with actinic radiation of such an intensity and for such a period that a solid, hard, tough coating is formed.Type: GrantFiled: March 2, 2002Date of Patent: December 25, 2007Assignee: Chemetall GmbHInventor: Georg Gros

Patent number: 7294673Abstract: A method of modifying a polymeric material whereby the polymeric material is modified to give a highly durable surface without decreasing its strength. Namely, a polymeric material is modified by the method comprising a combination of an impregnation step, an activation step, a step of grafting a monomer and a step of a treatment with a hydrophilic polymer. Thus, the hydrophilic nature, adhesiveness, and so forth of polymeric materials such as polyolefins can be improved without causing any decrease in the practical strength. The thus obtained polymeric materials are usable in articles with a need for high water absorptivity and high adhesiveness, for example, water-absorbing materials and water-retaining materials for medical, sanitary, cosmetic articles or supplies, agricultural materials, synthetic papers, filters and fiber products for clothes, for improving adhesiveness of composite materials and the like.Type: GrantFiled: June 28, 2002Date of Patent: November 13, 2007Assignee: FiberMark Gessner GmbH & Co.Inventor: Hitoshi Kanazawa
