Latest Patents

Wichelhaus's latest patents include innovative solutions such as conductive organic coatings. These coatings are designed to be conductive and weldable, providing anti-corrosive properties based on (blocked) polyurethane resins and epoxy resins. They are particularly suitable for coating metal surfaces, especially sheet steel in the coil coating process. These compositions are characterized by a low stoving temperature, a significant reduction in white rust on galvanized sheet steel during salt spray tests, and improved adhesion of the organic coating to the metallic substrate. Additionally, these coatings can achieve adequate corrosion protection even with a thin chromium coating, making them effective in Cr-free pretreatment processes. Furthermore, sheet metal coated in this manner can be spot welded using conventional processes.

Another notable patent involves a process for phosphatizing, rerinsing, and cathodic electro-dipcoating. This process is aimed at pretreating surfaces made from steel, galvanized steel, aluminum, and their alloys. It consists of three stages: first, phosphating is performed using a low-nickel zinc phosphating solution; second, the
