Abstract:
A dry primer film composite that includes a release carrier film and a pigmented sandable primer layer having a dry film thickness of 100 μm or greater overlying the carrier film, wherein the primer layer is a latent heat curing material; and uses of the dry primer film composite for spot repair of a substrate in need of repair. In preferred embodiments said primer layer is formed from a coating composition comprising a binder chosen from thermosetting acrylics, GMA acrylics, urethanes, epoxies, polyester and combinations thereof.
Abstract:
A method for coating a part that has an asymmetrical edge by attaching the part to a part holder, placing a film between the part and a mandrel, rolling the part over the mandrel such that the asymmetrical edge of the part contact the film, and, moving one or both of the mandrel and the part holder in an angular relationship to one another as the angle of the part's asymmetrical edge changes. A film dispenser and a film retriever are provided and preferably they move cooperatively in at least two dimensions with respect to the part holder. The film has a first edge and a second edge, and the film can be a decorative coating, a protective coating or combinations of these. The film dispenser holds the first edge of the film, the film is positioned between the mandrel and the part holder and the film retriever holds the film second edge.
Abstract:
The invention regards a water-base acrylic premanufactured waterproofing material and the procedure for obtaining the same. The material includes a substrate, base or support to give it a continuous structure adapted to receive on its top side a first layer of a water-base acrylic waterproofing composition forming a waterproof film and at least one second layer forming a waterproof film on this first layer, of a water-base acrylic waterproofing composition, equal to or different from the composition of the first layer, having, in addition, opposite the side where the at least two layers of an acrylic waterproofing composition are applied, a layer or film of an adhesive.
Abstract:
In a method for producing a component (20) with a coating (24) containing nanoparticles (21), it is provided that, in order to introduce the nanoparticles (21) into the coating (24), a film (19) with the dispersely distributed nanoparticles (21) is applied to the surface (22) to be coated, which decomposes with incorporation of the nanoparticles (21) during the actual coating operation and is thereby not incorporated into the layer.
Abstract:
Disclosed herein is a refinish sheet produced by (1) coating one side of a temporary carrier sheet (A) with at least one aqueous coating material (B) comprising at least one free-radically crosslinkable binder (B1) having a glass transition temperature of −70 to +50° C., an olefinically unsaturated double bond content of 2 to 10 eq/kg, and an acid group content of 0.05 to 15 eq/kg to produce at least one resultant layer (B); and (2) drying but not curing, or only part-curing, the at least one resultant layer (B) to produce at least one dried, uncured or part-cured layer (B). Also disclosed is a method of repairing a surface of a coated substrate using the refinish sheet.
Abstract:
A method and an apparatus for applying a decoration onto an object (50) use a chamber (22) that can be divided by a deformable foil (10) into a first space (24) and a second space (26). Said foil (10) comprises a carrier film (20), a decoration layer (16), and, at least, a varnish layer (18). The first and second spaces (24, 26) are evacuated simultaneously and, thereafter, a pressure gradient is generated to press the foil (10) against the object (50) to be decorated and to transfer at least the decoration layer (16) and the varnish layer (18) onto the object (50).
Abstract:
A process for the production of a coating layer from a thermally curable coating composition on a substrate, comprising the successive steps: a) providing a substrate to be coated, b) applying a backing foil coated on one side with an uncured or at least only partially cured coating layer of a thermally curable coating composition, with its coated side on the entire surface or at least one sub-zone of the surface of the substrate, c) supplying thermal energy onto the entire coating applied in step b), and d) removing the backing foil from the coating which remains on the substrate; wherein the supply of thermal energy onto the coating proceeds prior to and/or after removal of the backing foil.
Abstract:
A process for making a protective and decorative surfacing film comprises extrusion coating a solventless polymeric material from an extruder die to form an optically clear first layer on a polyester carrier sheet traveling past the extruder die opening. The extrusion coated first layer is immediately cooled on the carrier sheet to harden it, followed by applying a pigmented second layer to the first layer. The composite paint coat is transferred to a reinforcing backing sheet, after which the carrier sheet is separated from the paint coat to expose the outer surface of the first layer as a high gloss surface with a high distinctness-of-image, providing a transparent protective outer coat for the pigmented second layer. The pigmented second layer can be solvent cast and dried or extruded and hardened as a separate coating on the first layer. The composite paint coat can be bonded to a coextruded size coat and semi-rigid plastic substrate panel to form a thermoformable laminate. Techniques are disclosed for producing extruded clear films of exceedingly high optical clarity using a closed air flow transport and HEPA filtration system that removes airborne particles from the resin handling and extrusion process, thereby preventing micron-sized contaminants naturally present from many sources from entering the process and degrading ultimate film quality.
Abstract:
A production method of a decorative film comprises a first step of laying a base film of a thermoplastic resin on a pattern layer of a transfer sheet in which the pattern layer is placed on one surface of a carrier film, thermally transferring the pattern layer onto the base film, and thereafter stripping off the carrier film, thereby obtaining a laminate sheet in which the pattern layer is placed on one surface of the base film; and a second step of, in a state in which a transparent resin film is laid on a surface of the laminate sheet on the pattern layer side, inserting the laminate sheet and the transparent resin film into between a pair of endless belts placed opposite each other, and conveying the laminate sheet and the transparent resin film under heat and pressure, thereby obtaining a decorative film in which a transparent resin layer of the transparent resin film is placed on the surface of the laminate sheet on the pattern layer side.
