Entwicklungstendenzen auf dem Gebiet der organischen Beschichtungen

Development trends in the field of organic coatings . Modern materials for organic coatings are supposed to permit economic processing and should be unobjectionable in environmental terms. These requirements can only incompletely be satisfied by modification of conventional products. Thus the aspects are good for water-soluble binders as well as for solvent-less materials curing by chemical reaction only. However, developments in the processing field are becoming even more important than those of materials. Electrostatic spraying procedures and dipping techniques with trichlorethylene as solvent demonstrate the progress made in generally approved methods. The use of powder as coating material, the method of film-curing by electron beams, and the electro-coating process, however, are novel procedures based on appropriate physical effects.
