Process for multilayer coating
View Patent ↗This invention relates to a process for multilayer coating of substrates, comprising the steps: I) applying a layer of a water-based color-imparting and/or special effect-imparting base coat coating composition to a substrate, II) applying a layer of a clear coat coating composition curable by means of high energy radiation and optionally curable by at least one additional chemical curing reaction, and III) curing said clear coat layer by exposing it to high energy radiation, wherein the clear coat coating composition comprises: A) at least one compound capable of free-radical polymerization having at least one olefinically unsaturated group, B) at least one photoinitiator and C) at least one organic phosphine derivative.
1. A process for multilayer coating of substrates, comprising the steps:
I) applying a layer of a water-based color-imparting and/or special effect-imparting base coat coating composition to a substrate,
II) applying a layer of a clear coat coating composition curable by means of high energy radiation, and
III) curing the clear coat layer by exposing it to high energy radiation, wherein the clear coat coating composition comprises:
A) a hydroxyl-functional (meth)acryloyl functional polyurethane compound, a hydroxyl-functional (meth)acryloyl functional urethane compound, and a hydroxyl-functional (meth)acryloyl functional (meth)acrylic copolymer,
A1) a polyisocyanate with free isocyanate groups,
B) at least one photoinitiator, and
C) triphenyl phosphine, wherein the clear coat coating composition comprises 3.0 to 40% by weight triphenyl phosphine.
2. The process of claim 1 , wherein the clear coat coating composition curable by means of high energy radiation is in addition curable by at least one additional chemical curing reaction.
3. The process of claim 1 , wherein the clear coat coating composition further comprises a triaryl phosphine.
4. The process of claim 2 , wherein the clear coat coating composition further comprises a triaryl phosphine.
5. The process of claim 1 , wherein the triphenyl phosphine is present in amounts of 5.0 to 30% by weight solids, based on the total amount of weight solids of component A).
6. The process of claim 1 , wherein the triphenyl phosphine is present in amounts of about 20% by weight solids, based on the total amount of weight solids of component A).
7. The process of claim 1 , wherein the clear coat coating composition further comprises:
A3) at least one compound capable of free-radical polymerization having at least one olefinically unsaturated group and at least one isocyanate group.
8. The process of claim 7 , wherein the triphenyl phosphine is present in amounts of 5.0 to 20% by weight solids, based on the total amount of weight solids of component A) and of component A3).
9. The process of claim 8 , wherein the triphenyl phosphine is present in amounts of about 10% by weight solids, based on the total amount of weight solids of component A) and of component A3).
10. The process of claim 1 , wherein the clear coat coating composition further comprises:
A2) at least one compound with at least one hydroxyl group.
