Abstract

A coating material curable thermally and with actinic radiation and comprising (a1) at least one constituent containing (a11) on average per molecule at least two functional groups which contain at least one bond which can be activated with actinic radiation and which serves for crosslinking with actinic radiation and, if desired, (a12) at least one isocyanate-reactive group, (a2) at least one thermally curable constituent having at least two isocyanate-reactive groups, and (a3) at least one aromatic polyisocyanate which is free from functional groups (a11), or a mixture of at least one aromatic polyisocyanate which is free from functional groups (a11) and of at least one (cyclo)aliphatic polyisocyanate which is free from functional groups (a11); and its use for coating microporous surfaces, especially of SMCs and BMCs.

Claims

1. A coating material curable thermally and with actinic radiation, comprising

(a1) at least one constituent comprising

(a11) on average per molecule at least two functional groups which contain at least one bond activatable with actinic radiation

(a2) at least one thermally curable constituent comprising at least two isocyanate-reactive groups, and

(a3) at least one aromatic polyisocyanate which is free from functional groups (a11).

2. The coating material of claim 1, wherein constituent (a1) further comprises at least one isocyanate-reactive group (a12).

3. The coating material of claim 1, wherein the functional groups (a11) comprise carbon-carbon double bonds.

4. The coating material of claim 3, wherein the functional groups (a11) comprise acrylate groups.

5. The coating material claim 24, wherein the functional groups (a12) are selected from the group consisting of hydroxyl groups, thiol groups, primary amino groups, secondary amino groups, and imino groups.

6. The coating material of claim 1, wherein constituent (a2) comprises an oligomer or polymer selected from the group consisting of (meth)acrylate (co)polymers, polyesters, alkyds, amino resins, polyurethanes, polylactones, polycarbonates, polyethers, epoxy resin-amine adducts, (meth)acrylatediols, partially saponified polyvinyl esters, and polyureas.

7. The coating material of claim 1, wherein constituent (a3) further comprises a (cyclo)aliphatic polyisocyanate free of functional groups (a11) and the weight ratio of aromatic polyisocyanate to (cyclo)aliphatic polyisocyanate is from 95:

5 to 5;

95.

8. The coating material of claim 1, wherein the aromatic polyisocyanate (a3) is selected from the group consisting of polyisocyanates based on the technical-grade mixtures of 2,4- and 2,6-tolylene diisocyanate.

9. The coating material of claim 7, wherein the (cyclo)alphatic polyisocyanate is selected from the group consisting of polyisocyanates based on hexamethylene diisocyanate and polyisocyanates based on isophorone diisocyanate.

10. The coating material of claim 1, wherein the coating material further comprises at least one electrically conductive pigment.
