Abstract

Abstract A method of forming a multicoat is provided comprising the steps of applying a photocurable colored base coat on a substrate, photocuring the same, applying a clear top coat on the base coat, and then baking the entire multicoat at an elevated temperature. The method is characterized by the use of a polymerizable photocuring accelerator having an aminobenzoyl group and a polymerizable unsaturated group for accelerating the photocuring the base coat.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 12
Claim 1
Independent Claim 91 words
A method of forming a multicoat coating on a substrate which comprises the steps of applying on said substrate a photocurable colored base coat containing a photocurable film-forming polymer, a photosensitizer capable of photochemically inducing free radical addition polymerization of said photocurable film-forming polymer and a photocuring accelerator which is an unsaturated polymerizable polymer having an aminobenzoyloxy or N-mono or N,N-di-C 1 -C 6 alkyl substituted aminobenzoyloxy group; photocuring said base coat; applying a clear top coat on said base coat; and then baking the resulting multicoat at an elevated temperature.
Claim 2
Independent Claim 91 words
A method of forming a multicoat coating on a substrate which comprises the steps of applying on said substrate a photocurable colored base coat containing a photocurable film-forming polymer, a photosensitizer capable of photochemically inducing free radical addition polymerization of said photocurable film-forming polymer and a photocuring accelerator which is an unsaturated polymerizable polymer having an aminobenzoyloxy or N-mono or N,N-di-C 1 -C 6 alkyl substituted aminobenzoyloxy group; photocuring said base coat; applying a clear top coat on said base coat; and then baking the resulting multicoat at an elevated temperature.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 82 words
The method of claim 1, wherein said photocuring-accelerating polymer is a reaction product of (A) o-, m-, p-aminobenzoic acid, their N-mono- or N,N-di-C 1 -C 6 alkyl derivatives, (B) a polymerizable unsaturated carboxylic acid or a polymerizable unsaturated alcohol, and (C) an epoxy resin, a polyalkylene glycol, a polyester resin, an acrylic copolymer, a polycarboxylic acid, a polyisocyanate, or a polyepoxy compound, said reaction component (C) having at least two reaction sites capable of binding said reaction component (A) and (B), respectively.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 39 words
The method of claim 2, wherein said photocuring-accelerating polymer is present in said base coat from 0.05 to 10% by weight as the corresponding aminobenzoic acid based on the total weight of the nonvolatile content of the base coat.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim 17 words
The method of claim 3, wherein said photosensitizer is benzophenone, benzil, benzoin isopropyl ether, xanthone or thioxanthone.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim 15 words
The method of claim 2, wherein said reaction component (A) is N,N-dimethyl- or N,N-diethyl-p-aminobenzoic acid.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim 31 words
The method of claim 2, wherein said clear top coat is of photocurable type, and further comprising the step of photocuring said clear top coat prior to baking the entire multicoat.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim 14 words
The method of claim 2, wherein said clear top coat is of thermosetting type.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim 26 words
The method of claim 2, wherein said baking is carried out at a temperature of 100° C. to 300° C. for 1 second to 30 minutes.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim 24 words
The method of claim 2, wherein said reaction component (C) is an epoxy resin and said reaction component (B) is a polymerizable unsaturated acid.
Claim 11
Dependent Claim 27 words
The method of claim 2, wherein said reaction component (B) is a polymerizable unsaturated alcohol and said reaction component (C) is a polyester resin and a diisocyanate.
Claim 12
Dependent Claim 61 words
The method of claim 2 wherein said clear top coat is of thermosetting type; wherein said photosensitizer is benzophenone, benzil, benzoin isopropyl ether, xanthone or thioxanthone; wherein said reaction component (A) is N,N-dimethyl- or N,N-diethyl-p-aminobenzoic acid; wherein said reaction component (B) is acrylic acid or 2-hydroxyethylacrylate and reaction component (C) is a diisocyanate or a mixture of a diisocyanate polyester resin.
