Abstract

Described are solventborne pigment pastes comprising lamellar effect pigments. Also described is the use of the solventborne pigment pastes comprising lamellar effect pigments for producing solventborne effect coating materials. Further described is a process for producing solventborne effect coating materials.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A solventborne pigment paste (PP) comprising effect pigments, wherein the solventborne pigment paste comprises, based in each case on the overall composition of the pigment paste (PP),
(A) 10% to 30% by weight of at least one lamellar effect pigment (P),
(B) 0.1% to 2.0% by weight of a waxlike compound (W),
(C) 0.1% to 3.0% by weight of cellulose acetobutyrate (CAB),
(D) 5.0% to 20% by weight of a polyester resin (PE),
(E) 2.0% to 7% by weight of a melamine resin,
(F) 0.1% to 0.5% by weight of a urea-based thickener, and
(G) 30% to 80% by weight of organic solvents;
wherein the solventborne pigment paste is effective as an additive in production and tinting of a coating system and (A), (B), (C), (D), (E), (F), and (G) add to 100%.

2. The solventborne pigment paste (PP) comprising effect pigments, according to claim 1 , wherein the lamellar effect pigment is a mica pigment and/or metallic effect pigment.

3. The solventborne pigment paste (PP) comprising effect pigments, according to claim 1 , comprising 15% to 25% by weight of the lamellar effect pigment (P).

4. The solventborne pigment paste (PP) comprising effect pigments, according to claim 1 , comprising 0.5% to 1.5% by weight of the waxlike compound (W).

5. The solventborne pigment paste (PP) comprising effect pigments, according to claim 1 , wherein the waxlike compound (W) is a polyolefin wax.

6. The solventborne pigment paste (PP) comprising effect pigments, according to claim 1 , comprising 0.5% to 2.5% by weight of cellulose acetobutyrate (CAB).

7. The solventborne pigment paste (PP) comprising effect pigments, according to claim 1 , comprising 5.0% to 15% by weight of the polyester resin (PE).

8. The solventborne pigment paste (PP) comprising effect pigments, according to claim 1 , wherein the polyester resin has a weight-average molecular weight of 2000 to 20 000 g/mol, an acid number of 3 to 50 mg KOH/g and a hydroxyl number of 30 to 500 mg KOH/g.

9. The solventborne pigment paste (PP) comprising effect pigments, according to claim 1 , comprising 4% to 7% by weight of the melamine resin.

10. The solventborne pigment paste (PP) comprising effect pigments, according to claim 1 , wherein said melamine resin is a high-imino butanol-etherified melamine resin.

11. The solventborne pigment paste (PP) comprising effect pigments, according to claim 1 , comprising 0.1% to 0.3% by weight of a urea-based thickener.

12. The solventborne pigment paste (PP) comprising effect pigments, according to claim 1 , wherein the urea-based thickener is a polyurethane-modified urea.

13. The solventborne pigment paste (PP) comprising effect pigments, according to claim 1 , comprising 40% to 70% by weight of solvent.

14. The solventborne pigment paste (PP) comprising effect pigments, according to claim 13 , comprising at least 10% by weight, based on the overall composition of the pigment paste (PP), of butyl acetate in the solvent fraction.

15. A process for producing solventborne coating materials (B), the process comprising mixing the solventborne pigment paste (PP) of claim 1 with at least one coating constituent.

16. A solventborne coating material (B) comprising at least one solventborne pigment paste (PP) comprising lamellar effect pigments, according to claim 1 .

17. The solventborne pigment paste (PP) comprising effect pigments according to claim 1 , wherein upon storage at 25° C. for up to 3 months, the PP exhibits no settling and no coagulum being formed.

18. The solventborne pigment paste (PP) comprising effect pigments according to claim 1 , wherein the solventborne pigment paste is effective to incorporate pigments into coating materials.

19. The solventborne pigment paste (PP) comprising effect pigments according to claim 1 , wherein the lamellar effect pigment (P) is an aluminum pigment.

20. The solventborne pigment paste (PP) comprising effect pigments according to claim 1 , wherein the effect pigment paste (PP) does not any comprise any pigment further to the lamellar effect pigment (P).

21. A solventborne pigment paste (PP) comprising effect pigments, wherein the solventborne pigment paste comprises, based in each case on the overall composition of the pigment paste (PP):
(A) 10% to 30% by weight of at least one lamellar effect pigment (P);
(B) 0.1% to 2.0% by weight of a waxlike compound (W);
(C) 0.1% to 3.0% by weight of cellulose acetobutyrate (CAB);
(D) 2.0% to 20% by weight of a polyester resin (PE) having a weight-average molecular weight of 2000 to 20,000 g/mol, an acid number of 3 to 50 mg KOH/g and a hydroxyl number of 30 to 500 mg KOH/g;
(E) 4.0% to 7% by weight of a melamine resin;
(F) 0.05% to 0.5% by weight of a urea-based thickener; and
(G) 30% to 80% by weight of organic solvents;
wherein the solventborne pigment paste is effective as an additive in production and tinting of a coating system.

22. The solventborne pigment paste (PP) comprising effect pigments according to claim 21 , wherein the solventborne pigment paste is effective to incorporate pigments into coating materials.

23. The solventborne pigment paste (PP) comprising effect pigments according to claim 21 , wherein (A), (B), (C), (D), (E), (F), and (G) add to 100%.
