Abstract
The invention relates to a method for coating surfaces by enzymatic reaction of a biopolymer, wherein the method comprises the following steps: a) applying an enzyme to the surface of a substrate, and b) contacting the enzyme with the biopolymer to be deposited, wherein the enzyme cleaves the biopolymer, wherein the cleavage gives rise to at least two cleavage products of the biopolymer having different solubility in a solvent, and at least one cleavage product of the biopolymer having relatively low solubility is deposited on the surface of the substrate, and to a coated article obtainable by the method and to a coating composition comprising a biopolymer and at least one component selected from the group comprising binders, fillers, pigments and/or additives, and optionally a solvent.
