The present invention relates to a process for the coating of polycarbonate substrates, in particular of transparent polycarbonate substrates, by applying a transparent coating composition encompassing at least one radiation-curing binder resin (A) and/or reactive diluent (C), nanoparticles (B), optionally solvent and at least one light stabilizer (L), to a polycarbonate substrate, wherein the coating composition comprises at least one light stabilizer (L) which comprises, per molecule, an average of at least one ethylenically unsaturated group bonded by way of a urethane group. The present invention also relates to the coating compositions used in said process, and to the coated polycarbonate substrates obtainable via the process, and to their use.

Scratch-resistant-coated polycarbonates with high transparency, process for their production, and their use

The disclosed method comprises applying a transparent coating composition to a plastics substrate, the composition comprising 30% to 60% by weight of a nanoparticles (B), 15% to 40% by weight, of urethane (meth)acrylates (A1) having 3 to 5 (meth)/acrylate groups per molecule, 0% to less than 10% by weight of urethane (meth)acrylates (A2) having more than 5 (meth)/acrylate groups per molecule, 0% to less than 10% by weight of urethane (meth)acrylates (A3) having less than 3 (meth)/acrylate groups per molecule, 55% to 80% by weight of compounds (C1) having 4 (meth)/acrylate groups per molecule, 0% to 15% by weight of compounds (C2) having 2 (meth)/acrylate groups per molecule, and 0% to 15% by weight of compounds (C3) having 3 (meth)/acrylate groups per molecule, the sum of the weight fractions of film-forming components (A1), (A2), (A3), (C1), (C2), and (C3) being in each case 100% by weight.

Plastic substrates having a scratch-resistant coating, in particular housings of electronic devices, having high transparency, method for the production thereof, and use thereof
