Abstract

The invention relates to physically, thermally and physically, or thermally curable aqueous coating compositions comprising A) at least one polyurethane selected from the group consisting of physically curable, thermally self-crosslinking and/or thermally externally crosslinking, ionically and/or nonionically stabilized polyurethanes, which are saturated, unsaturated and/or grafted with olefinically unsaturated compounds, as binder and B) at least one leaflet-shaped metallic pigment produced by PVD (Physical Vapor Deposition) methods, the amount of B), based on the total binder content of the coating composition, being less than 10% by weight, and the total binder content, based on the coating composition, being less than 12% by weight. The invention further relates to a process for producing the compositions and to their use in particular in the production of coatings.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A curable aqueous coating composition comprising:
(A) a binder comprising at least one polyurethane that is:
physically curable, thermally self-crosslinking, or thermally externally crosslinking; ionically or nonionically stabilized; and saturated, unsaturated, or grafted with olefinically unsaturated compounds; and

(B) at least one leaflet-shaped metallic pigment produced by PVD (Physical Vapor Deposition) methods having a thickness of 20 to 80 nm,
the amount of (B), based on the total binder content of the coating composition, being from 3% to less than 10% by weight, and the total binder content, based on the coating composition, being from 5% to less than 12% by weight; and
wherein the curable aqueous coating composition does not contain further effect pigments besides (B) the at least one leaflet-shaped metallic pigment produced by PVD.

2. The curable aqueous coating composition of claim 1 ,
wherein upon formation of a multicoat paint system including the curable aqueous coating composition in a form that does not contain dyes or color pigments that are organic or inorganic, the multicoat paint system has a flop index FL x-Rite in the range of 24 to 26, calculated using the X-Rite company's formula:
FL X-Rite =2.69( L* 15° −L* 110° ) 1.11 /( L* 45° ) 0.86 .

3. A curable aqueous coating composition comprising:
(A) at least one polyurethane as a binder, wherein the polyurethane is:
physically curable, thermally self-crosslinking, or thermally externally crosslinking; ionically or nonionically stabilized; and saturated, unsaturated, or grafted with olefinically unsaturated compounds;

(B) at least one leaflet-shaped metallic pigment produced by PVD (Physical Vapor Deposition) methods having a thickness of 20 to 80 nm;
the amount of (B), based on the total binder content of the coating composition, being from 3% to less than 10% by weight, the total binder content, based on the coating composition, being less than 12% by weight, and a total solids content, based on the coating composition of 7% to 14% by weight;
wherein the curable aqueous coating composition does not contain further effect pigments besides (B) the at least one leaflet-shaped metallic pigment produced by PVD.

4. The curable aqueous coating composition of claim 3 ,
wherein upon formation of a multicoat paint system including the curable aqueous coating composition in a form that does not contain dyes or color pigments that are organic or inorganic, the multicoat paint system has a flop index FL x-Rite in the range of 24 to 26, calculated using the X-Rite company's formula:
FL X-Rite =2.69( L* 15° −L* 110° ) 1.11 /( L* 45° ) 0.86 .

5. A curable aqueous coating composition comprising:
(A) a binder comprising at least one polyurethane that is: physically curable, thermally self-crosslinking, or thermally externally crosslinking; ionically or nonionically stabilized; and saturated, unsaturated, or grafted with olefinically unsaturated compounds;
(B) at least one leaflet-shaped metallic pigment produced by PVD (Physical Vapor Deposition) methods, and
the amount of (B), based on the total binder content of the coating composition, being from 6% to less than 10% by weight, and the total binder content, based on the coating composition, being from 5% to less than 12% by weight;
wherein the curable aqueous coating composition does not contain further effect pigments besides (B) the at least one leaflet-shaped metallic pigment produced by PVD.

6. The curable aqueous coating composition of claim 5 , wherein the leaflet-shaped metallic pigment (B) has a thickness of 20 to 80 nm.

7. The curable aqueous coating composition of claim 5 , wherein the total solids content of the composition is 7% to 14% by weight.

8. The curable aqueous coating composition of claim 5 , wherein upon formation of a multicoat paint system including the curable aqueous coating composition in a form that does not contain dyes or color pigments that are organic or inorganic, the multicoat paint system has a flop index FLX-Rite in the range of 24 to 26, calculated using the X-Rite company's formula:
FL X-Rite =2.69( L* 15° −L* 110° ) 1.11 /( L* 45° ) 0.86 .

9. A curable aqueous coating composition comprising:
(A) at least one polyurethane as a binder, wherein the polyurethane is: physically curable, thermally self-crosslinking, or thermally externally crosslinking; ionically or nonionically stabilized; and saturated, unsaturated, or grafted with olefinically unsaturated compounds;
(B) at least one leaflet-shaped metallic pigment produced by PVD (Physical Vapor Deposition) methods, and
the amount of (B), based on the total binder content of the coating composition, being from 6% to less than 10% by weight, the total binder content, based on the coating composition, being less than 12% by weight, and a total solids content, based on the coating composition of 7% to 14% by weight;
wherein the curable aqueous coating composition does not contain further effect pigments besides (B) the at least one leaflet-shaped metallic pigment produced by PVD.

10. The curable aqueous coating composition of claim 9 , wherein the leaflet-shaped metallic pigment (B) has a thickness of 20 to 80 nm.

11. The curable aqueous coating composition of claim 9 , wherein the total binder content, based on the coating composition, is from 5% to less than 12% by weight.

12. The curable aqueous coating composition of claim 9 , wherein upon formation of a multicoat paint system including the curable aqueous coating composition in a form that does not contain dyes or color pigments that are organic or inorganic, the multicoat paint system has a flop index FLX-Rite in the range of 24 to 26, calculated using the X-Rite company's formula:
