Abstract

A mixer system for producing topcoat compositions and filling compounds which has a volumetric or gravimetric metering plant as a mixing apparatus and at least the following components (a) to (d): at least one pigment-free component (a) for producing at least one topcoat composition (A); at least one component (b) different from (a), for producing at least one coating composition (B) used as a filling compound; a plurality of different pigment pastes (c) different from the components (a), (b), and (d), which in each case independently of one another include at least one binder (c1), at least one organic solvent (c2), and at least one pigment (c3); and a plurality of different, binder-free dye solutions (d). A process for producing topcoat compositions and/or filling compounds with the mixer system, and a method of repairing defects on or in wood with the topcoat compositions and/or filling compounds.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A mixer system comprising a volumetric or gravimetric metering plant as a mixing apparatus and comprising at least the following components (a) to (d) and also optionally (e):
(a) at least one pigment-free component (a) for producing at least one topcoat composition (A), with (a) comprising at least one binder (a1) and at least one organic solvent (a2) and optionally at least one matting agent (a3),
(b) at least one component (b), different from (a), for producing at least one coating composition (B) used as filling compound, where (b) comprises at least one binder (b1), at least one organic solvent (b2), and at least one filler (b3), where the binder (b1) comprises at least one unsaturated polyester and/or at least one polyurethane,
(c) a plurality of different pigment pastes different from the components (a), (b), (d), and optionally (e), which in each case independently of one another comprise at least one binder (c1), at least one organic solvent (c2), and at least one pigment (c3),
(d) a plurality of different, binder-free dye solutions, which each independently of one another comprise at least one organic solvent (d1) and at least one dye (d2), and
(e) optionally one or more different organic solvents, which may optionally comprise at least one additive and/or at least one crosslinking agent.

2. The mixer system of claim 1 , which comprises at least two different components (a), these being at least one component (a-I) for producing at least one topcoat composition (A1), where (a-I) comprises at least one binder (a1) and at least one organic solvent (a2), and at least one component (a-II) for producing at least one topcoat composition (A2) different from (A1), where (a-II) comprises at least one binder (a1), at least one organic solvent (a2), and at least one matting agent (a3).

3. The mixer system of claim 1 , wherein the at least one binder (a1) present in the at least one component (a) comprises at least one polymeric resin having at least functional hydroxyl groups and/or carboxyl groups and/or epoxide groups.

4. The mixer system of claim 1 , wherein the at least one binder (a1) present in the at least one component (a) comprises at least one polymeric resin having at least functional hydroxyl groups and/or carboxyl groups and/or epoxide groups and being a copolymer of vinyl chloride and at least one ethylenically unsaturated monomer.

5. The mixer system of claim 1 , wherein the at least one binder (b1) present in the at least one component (b) comprises at least one unsaturated polyester as polymeric resin, and the at least one organic solvent (b2) likewise present therein is a reactive diluent.

6. The mixer system of claim 1 , wherein the at least one binder (c1) present in component (c) comprises at least one polymeric condensation product of urea and/or formaldehyde and at least one aldehyde and/or at least one ketone as polymeric resin.

7. The mixer system of claim 1 , wherein the at least one pigment (c3) present in component (c) is selected from the group consisting of inorganic and organic coloring pigments, effect pigments, and mixtures thereof.

8. The mixer system of claim 1 , wherein the at least one dye (d2) present in component (d) is selected from the group consisting of basic dyes, fat-soluble dyes, and metal complex dyes, and mixtures thereof.

9. A process for producing topcoat compositions and/or filling compounds and/or clearcoat compositions, the process comprising:
(1) mixing at least one component (a) with at least one pigment paste (c) and optionally with at least one dye solution (d) and optionally with at least one component (e) for producing at least one topcoat composition (A1), and/or
(2) mixing at least one component (a) with at least one pigment paste (c) and optionally with at least one dye solution (d) and optionally with at least one component (e) for producing at least one topcoat composition (A2), where component (a) in the case of (2) comprises not only the at least one binder (a1) and the at least one organic solvent (a2) but also at least one matting agent (a3), and
(3) mixing at least one component (b) with at least one pigment paste (c) and optionally with at least one dye solution (d) and optionally with at least one component (e) for producing at least one coating composition (B) used as filling compound, and
(4) optionally mixing at least one component (a) with at least one dye solution (d) and optionally with at least one component (e) for producing at least one coating composition used as a clearcoat composition,
with the mixer system of claim 1 .

10. The process of claim 9 , further comprising obtaining at least one topcoat composition (A1) and/or at least one topcoat composition (A2) different from (A1), and at least one coating composition (B), and also, optionally, at least one clearcoat composition.

11. A method of repairing defects on or in wood, comprising applying the topcoat compositions (A1) and/or (A2) and the coating composition (B) obtained in claim 10 to the defects on or in wood.

12. The method of claim 11 , wherein the topcoat composition (A1) is applied as retouch paint, the topcoat composition (A2) is applied as edge paint, and the coating composition (B) is applied as filling compound.

13. A method for adjusting and/or determining shades of color of at least one topcoat composition (A1) and/or of at least one further topcoat composition (A2) different from (A1), and of at least one coating composition (B) used as filling compound, the method comprising:
mixing, with the mixer system of claim 1 , at least one of the components (a)-(e) and the at least one topcoat composition (A1) and/or the at least one further topcoat composition (A2) different from (A1), to obtain at least one mixed topcoat composition (A1) and/or (A2); and
mixing, with the mixer system, at least one of the components (a)-(e) and the at least one coating composition (B) used as filling compound, to obtain at least one mixed coating composition (B) used as filling compound.

14. A method of repairing defects on or in wood, comprising applying the mixed topcoat compositions (A1) and/or (A2) and the mixed coating composition (B) obtained in claim 13 to the defects on or in wood.

15. The method of claim 14 , wherein the mixed topcoat composition (A1) is applied as retouch paint, the mixed topcoat composition (A2) is applied as edge paint, and the mixed coating composition (B) is applied as filling compound.
