Abstract
Abstract A varnish is provided for coating a wire which is directly tinnable. The varnish comprises hardenable polyester urethane having a urethane equivalent weight of 150-850, the polyester being formed as the product of the reaction of a saturated polyester containing at least two hydroxyl functional groups and an aromatic isocyanate containing at least two functional groups of isocyanate and a phenol-free solvent for the polyester urethane. A process for producing this varnish is also provided.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 9
Claim 1
Independent Claim
168 words
A process for producing a coating for directly tinnable wire, comprising the steps of forming a hardenable polyester urethane having a urethane equivalent (NHCOO-) weight of 150 - 850 by reacting at 100 - 200° C (A) a polyester having an excess of alcohol groups relative to the acid groups so as to provide at least two free hydroxyl groups with an aromatic polyisocyanate containing at least two free isocyanates end groups so as to form a polyurethane through reaction of said hydroxyl groups with said isocyanate end groups, dissolving the formed polyester urethane in a phenol-free organic solvent so as to make a varnish; and applying said varnish to a wire and curing it so as to form a coating on said wire whereby the wire can be tinned directly and speedily due to the fact that on immersion of a portion of such wire into a bath of solder the varnish coating on the immersed portion will become removed and the wire exposed for direct tinning.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
168 words

Claim 3
Dependent Claim
28 words
A process as defined in claim 1, wherein said aromatic isocyanate is a member selected from the group consisting of toluylene-2,4-diisocyanate, toluylene-2,6-diisocyanate, 4,4'-diisocyantodiphenylmethane, 3,3'-dimethyl-4,4'-diisocyanatodiphenylmethane, 1,5-napthylenediisocyanate, 2,4-diisocyanatodiphenylether and diisocyanatodibenzyl.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
