Latest Patent Applications
1. **Laser Coating Process and Device Therefor** - This invention relates to a process for applying a coating material to a surface. The process includes providing a stream of gas mixture comprising a carrier gas and a coating material, feeding the stream onto the surface, and coupling at least one laser beam into the stream. The energy from the laser beam is managed to ensure that the solid coating material at least partially melts, allowing for effective application. The invention also includes a device designed to carry out this process.
2. **Corrosion-Resistant Metal-Effect Pigments, Method for Producing the Same and Use Thereof** - This application describes a metal-effect pigment that includes a metallic, plate-shaped core coated with at least one polymer layer. The polymer layer is a homogeneous polyurea-type polymer, produced through an addition reaction involving specific components that include primary and/or secondary amino groups and isocyanate groups.
Conclusion
Ulrich-Andreas Hirth continues to push the boundaries of innovation in coating technologies through his latest patent applications. His work demonstrates a commitment to advancing the field, even in the absence of granted patents.
