Process for passivating metallic surfaces, and a preparation suitable for implementing the process, comprising at least water, an acid, and a copolymer of functionalized (meth)acrylic esters, monomers containing phosphoric and/or phosphonic acid groups, monomers having COOH groups, and, if appropriate, further monomers. Copolymer which comprises said monomers.

Method of passivating metallic surfaces by means of copolymers having phosphoric acid and/or phosphonic acid groups

The present invention relates to a composition for coating metallic surfaces, comprising a binder component; a corrosion inhibitor polymer based on an ethylenically monocarboxylic and dicarboxylic acid and, if appropriate, further ethylenical monomers, a solvent component, and, if appropriate, crosslinkable components, and also pigment/filler components. The invention further relates to processes for its preparation and also to methods of coating a metallic surface using the composition, to coated metallic surfaces thus obtained, and to the use of the composition as a primer, particularly in coil coating or in atmospheric corrosion control. After drying, the applied layer preferably has a thickness of at least 3.1 &#x3bc;m and is therefore thicker than a typical pretreatment layer.

Polymer composition for corrosion protection

The present invention relates to a composition for treating surfaces, comprising a copolymer as component A, synthesized from (meth)acrylic acid or salts thereof, a carboxylate-containing monomer and/or monomers containing groups containing phosphoric and/or phosphoric acid or salts thereof, and further comonomers if desired, to a passivating layer on a metal surface, which comprises component A, to a process for forming said passivating layer, and to the use of the composition of the invention to passivate a metal surface.

Carboxylate-containing polymers for metal surface treatment

The present invention relates to a method of applying atmospheric corrosion control coats to metallic surfaces, using copolymers comprising as monomeric building blocks monomers containing nitrile groups, monomers containing acidic groups, and vinylaromatic monomers. It relates, furthermore, to preparations for applying corrosion control coats.

Method for applying corrosion protection coatings to metal surfaces

The present invention relates to a substantially chromium-free process for passivating metallic surfaces of Zn, Zn alloys, Al or Al alloys by treating the surface with an acidic aqueous formulation which comprises at least one substantially noncrosslinked, water-soluble polymer or copolymer containing at least 50% by weight of (meth)acrylic acid units and comprises water or an aqueous solvent mixture comprising at least 50% by weight of water, and by further treating the surface with at least one water-soluble crosslinker comprising at least 2 crosslinking groups selected from the group consisting of azirane, oxirane, and thiirane groups. The invention further relates to passivating layers obtainable by means of the process and to a formulation suitable for this process.

Essentially chromium-free method for passivating metallic surfaces consisting of Zn, Zn alloys, Al or Al alloys

A method for controlling the thickening of aqueous systems comprising silicates, which comprises adding to the aqueous system at least one copolymer of a mean molecular weight Mw of at least 3000 g/mol to at most 60 000 g/mol and the copolymer being made up essentially randomly from monoethylenically unsaturated monocarboxylic acids, monoethylenically unsaturated dicarboxylic acids and other ethylenically unsaturated comonomers, the polymerization for producing the copolymer being performed in the presence of from 0.01 to 100 mol % of at least one base, based on the total amount of all COOH groups of the monocarboxylic and dicarboxylic acids, the quantitative figures in % by weight being respectively based on the total amount of all monomers used.
