Abstract

Abstract This invention relates to a process and composition for the production of highly heat-resistant insulating coatings on electrical conductors by coating the conductors with solutions containing catalysts and, levelling agents of thermosetting amide and/or imide-modified ester resins of polyhydric alcohols, polybasic carboxylic acids containing carboxyl groups attached to aromatic rings, optionally in admixture with aliphatic carboxylic acids and, optionally, their anhydrides and/or esters, and compounds containing amino groups, and heating the coated conductors to object temperatures of 150°-400° C.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 16
Claim 1
Independent Claim 183 words
A process for the production of highly heat resistant insulating coatings on electrical conductor wires which comprises: (a) coating the electrical conductor wire with a solution comprising a physiologically acceptable organic solvent and 30 to 90% by weight of an amide and/or imide-modified ester resin of polyhydric alcohols, polybasic carboxylic acids containing carboxyl groups attached to the aromatic rings, wherein said ester resins have an acid number of from 10 to 50 and the equivalent ratio of hydroxyl groups to carboxyl groups in the starting products for producing the ester resin is between 1.6 and 2.5, the solution contains aliphatic amines in such a quantity that there are from 0.5 to 1.5 amino groups for every free carboxyl group in the ester resin, and at least about 70% by weight of the total solvent consists of monoalkyl ethers and/or dialkyl ethers of mono- and/or dialkane diols containing from 2 to 4 carbon atoms per alkane moity, the alkyl moities of said dialkyl ethers each containing 1 to 6 carbon atoms; and (b) heating said coated conductor wire to a temperature of 150°-400° C.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 183 words
