    摘要: Disclosed herein is a clearcoat coating material composition including an OH-functional (meth)acrylic copolymer (A1), a branched OH-functional polyester (A2) in an amount in the range of from 1.0 wt.-% to 15.0 wt.-%, based on the total solids content of the coating material composition, and at least one crosslinking agent (B1), which is different from both constituents (A1) and (A2) and which contains crosslinkable functional groups, which can be crosslinked with OH-functional groups. Further disclosed herein are a method of coating a substrate including applying to an optionally pre-coated substrate the inventive clearcoat coating material composition, a coated substrate, which is obtainable by the disclosed method, and a method of using the branched OH-functional polyester (A2) as flow enhancer in a clearcoat coating material application for spray applying said clearcoat coating material application onto an optionally pre-coated substrate and/or as levelling agent.

    摘要: Described herein is an aqueous cathodically depositable electrodeposition coating material composition including at least one cathodically depositable polymer (a) and at least one carbon black pigment (b), where the at least one carbon black pigment (b) is a lamp black pigment having a number-based median primary particle size (dN,50%) of at least 50 nm and at most 200 nm. Also described herein is a method for at least partially coating an electrically conductive substrate by cathodic electrodeposition coating including immersing the substrate at least partially into an electrodeposition coating bath, which includes the electrodeposition coating material composition. Also described herein is an electrically conductive substrate, which is at least partially coated with a baked electrodeposition coating material composition and/or which is obtainable by the method. Further, described herein is a method of using the carbon black pigment (b) for improving corrosion protection and/or homogeneity of the film build.
