Abstract
Water-borne base coats, the resin solid of which contain 40 to 90 wt-% of a water-dilutable polyester binder, 0 to 50 wt-% of one or more additional binders, 0 to 20 wt-% of one or more paste resins and 10 to 40 wt-% of one or more cross-linking agents, wherein the water-dilutable polyester binder has a weight average molecular mass of 5000 to 50000, an acid value of 10 to 50 mg KOH/g, a hydroxyl value of 30 to 100 mg KOH/g and an average hydroxyl-functionality of 2 to 3 and consists of 5 to 25 wt-% of structural units —O—R—O— derived from one or more macrodiols having a hydroxyl value of 25 to 120 mg KOH/g, wherein R represents residues located between the terminal hydroxyl groups of the one or more macrodiols, are suitable for preparing water-borne base coat/clear coat-two-layer coatings, in particular water-borne base coat/powder clear coat two-layer coatings.
