The invention relates to a process for coating metallic surfaces with a composition containing silane/silanol/siloxane/polysiloxane, wherein, in addition to The invention further relates to corresponding aqueous compositions.

Process for coating metallic surfaces with a multicomponent aqueous composition

A method for coating metallic surfaces with aqueous compositions, wherein a silane-based aqueous composition containing at least one silane and/or a related silicon-containing compound and optionally additional components is treated further, for example, at temperatures above 70&#xb0; C., in a pretreatment step without drying the coating, by using at least one aqueous rinse step after this pretreatment step and then performing an electrodeposition coating, in which at least one surfactant is added at least in the last rinse step of the aqueous rinse steps. Coated metallic surfaces are also described.

Method for coating metallic surfaces with a multi-component aqueous composition

A method for coating metallic surfaces with an aqueous composition, which contains an aqueous solution of a zinc salt, by flooding, spraying and/or immersion, wherein, for spraying or immersion, the initial temperature of the substrate lies in the range from 5 to 400&#xb0; C., in that, for flooding, the initial temperature of the substrate lies in the range from 100 to 400&#xb0; C. and in that an anticorrosive nanocrystalline zinc oxide layer is formed on the metallic surface. Corresponding aqueous composition, the nanocrystalline zinc oxide layer and the use of the coated substrates are also disclosed.

The invention relates to a process for coating metallic surfaces with a composition containing at least one of a silane, silanol, siloxane or polysiloxane that is capable of condensation, water and optionally an organic solvent. The composition also contains compound containing Ti, Hf, Zr, Al or B; and at least one type of cation or an organic compound d) selected from monomers, oligomers, polymers, copolymers and block copolymers. The coating freshly applied with this composition is rinsed with a fluid and is not dried thoroughly before this rinsing step so that the compound capable of condensation does not condense substantially before the rinsing step.

Method for coating metallic surfaces with an aqueous composition

A composition and a method for coating metallic surfaces with a silane/silanol/siloxane/polysiloxane-containing composition, whereby the composition contains a) at least one compound selected from the silanes, silanols, siloxanes and polysiloxanes, b) at least two compounds selected from titanium-, hafnium-, zirconium-, aluminum- or boron-containing compounds, optionally c) at least one type of cation selected from cations of metals of the 1to 3and 5to 8sub-groups including the lanthanides and the 2main group of the periodic table of the elements or at least one corresponding compound, d) at least one organic compound selected from monomers, oligomers, polymers, copolymers and block copolymers or e) at least one substance affecting the pH value, water and optionally at least one organic solvent.

Process for coating metallic surfaces with an aqueous composition, and this composition

A method for treating or pre-treating parts, profiled-pieces, strips, sheet metals or wires having metallic surfaces, in which at least 5% of these surfaces consists of aluminum or of at least one aluminum alloy with an acid aqueous solution which contains fluoride, zinc and phosphate and which has the following dissolved contents in the phosphatizing solution: sodium virtually none, from 0.04 to less than 2 g/L; potassium virtually none or in a concentration ranging from 0.025 to 2.5 g/L; sodium and potassium in a concentration ranging from 0.025 to 2.5 g/L as sodium, whereby the potassium content is converted to sodium on a molar basis; zinc 0.2 to 4 g/L zinc, 5 to 65 g/L calculated as PO; 0.03 to 0.5 g/L phosphate free fluoride wherein the total fluoride is present in a concentration ranging from 0.1 to 5 g/L. A zinc-containing phosphate layer is thereby deposited onto the metallic surfaces with a layer weight ranging from 0.5 to 10 g/m.

Process for coating metallic surfaces

A process for coating a metallic surface by contacting the metallic surface with a first coating composition to form a first coating on the metallic surface, wherein the first coating composition contains water and at least one compound a) selected from a silane, a silanol, a siloxane and a polysiloxane. The first coating is the rinsed with an aqueous surfactant-containing fluid without drying so that the at least one compound a) does not condense before the rinsing step. The silane, silanol, siloxane or polysiloxane is capable of condensation.

Process and aqueous solution for phosphatizing metallic surfaces

The invention is in a composition and process for the chromium free passivating postrinsing of conversion layers on metals before the application of a paint or adhesive. The conversion layers can be on the bases of phosphate layers, at least two polyvalent metal ions with complex formers, titanium, zirconium and/or hafnium. The postrinsing agent is an aqueous solution which has been adjusted to a pH value of up to 5 and which contains an aluminum fluorozirconate having an Al:Zr:F mole ratio of (0.15 to 8.0):1:(5 to 52), and in which solutions the total concentration of Al+Zr+F is 0.1 to 8.0 g/l. The postrinsing solutions may additionally contain at least one of the anions benzoate, caprylate, ethyl hexoate, salicylate in a total concentration of 0.05 to 0.5 g/1 and may preferably be adjusted to the required pH value with cations of volatile bases, such as ammonium, ethanolammonium and di- and triethanolammonium. The paint is subsequently applied suitably by cathodic electrocoating or powder coating or from a low-solvent high-solids paint. The rinsing treatment is over a period of 1 to 120 seconds at temperatures of 20.degree. to 80.degree. C. The invention is used as a pretreatment to the application of a paint coating, film coating or adhesive coating.
