Latest Patents
Christian Alter holds a patent for an invention titled "Aqueous Basecoat Composition Comprising A Silane-Based Additive And Having Improved Adhesion Properties And Multilayer Coatings Produced From Said Basecoat Compositions." This invention relates to an aqueous basecoat composition that includes a specific silane-based additive as a hardener and self-crosslinking material. The goal is to enhance the adhesion of the basecoat to both underlying and overlying coating layers, as well as to improve the cohesion properties of the basecoat itself.
The patent also describes a mixer system designed for preparing the aqueous refinish basecoat composition. This system includes at least one base color component, at least one pigment-free component, and at least one hardening component that contains the silane-based additive. Additionally, it may include a rheology module. The method for preparing the aqueous basecoat composition from this mixer system is also detailed in the patent. Furthermore, the invention outlines a method for coating a substrate with the basecoat composition and a clearcoat composition, allowing for the joint curing of both layers. The resulting coated substrate demonstrates the effectiveness of the innovative process.
