Example 12

Application Example Powder Coating and Chemicals Test

(18) The obtained pastes were dried under vacuum with a light inert gas stream at 100° C. and then sieved at 71-μm mesh size. The respective metallic effect pigment was incorporated together with the powder coating AL 96 as well as with 0.2% Aeroxide Alu C (from Evonik) by means of a ThermoMix for 4 minutes on level 4. The pigmentation level was 5.0 wt.-%, as a verifiable application behavior can be achieved with higher pigmentation.

(19) The powder coating was therefore weighed out to 95.0 wt.-%. The total quantity of powder coating in the mixer was 300 g plus 0.6 g Aeroxide Alu C.

(20) ThermoMix is a food processor customary in the trade (from Vorwerk). The added Aeroxide Alu C is Al.sub.2O.sub.3 particles which assume the function of an anti-caking agent in this application case. The powder coatings were applied using an OptiSelect (from ITWGema) in a powder enclosure customary in the trade. To assess the application properties, spraying was carried out into the powder compartment for 20 seconds according to the parameters given in Table 1, then the coating of the substrate was carried out and then the adhesion to the electrodes and the adhesion to the baffle were comparatively assessed. This method allows the long-term behavior of the pigments to be assessed during practice-oriented varnishing.

(21) Furthermore, the spray pattern was evaluated using the baked powder coating. Attention was paid above all to the course, thus the smoothness of the surface structure, as well as to black, microscopically small defects, so-called black spots. Areas on the powder coating surface which are brought about by an inhomogeneous distribution of the metallic effect pigments are called black spots. As these phenomena lie in the macroscopic range, the eye of an expert in varnish technology is needed for the assessment of the phenomenon. In particular very smooth structures with a very smooth course without black spot phenomena are preferred.

(22) The application behavior, the presence of black spots and the structure or the course of the powder coatings were assessed visually.

(23) Chemicals Test

(24) The coated test sheet was brought into a horizontal position. 5 drops of 10% HCl were applied with exposure times of 180, 150, 120, 90, and 60 min. In addition, 5 drops of 1 M NaOH were applied with exposure times of 180, 120, 60, 30 and 15 min.

(25) The drops were then removed with water and the formerly covered surfaces were compared visually with the uncovered surfaces. Here, a rating scale of 0-3 (for each individual point) was used (0=no attack, 3 maximum decomposition of pigments). The ascertained points were then totaled.

(27) The pastes obtained in the above-named experiments were used directly in the coil coating method. 8.0 g aluminum paste and 8.0 g Solvesso 150 were thoroughly dispersed with a spatula until the mixture was speck-free. 84.0 g PE varnish 42-00001 was then added and the mixture stirred before being diluted with 5.0 g Solvesso 150. Stirring followed for 3 minutes at 500 rpm with a toothed ring stirrer. The viscosity was 100″±10 in a DIN4 cup.

(28) This batch of varnish was drawn down on an alkane-aluminum DIN: A4 sheet (No. 11) using a spiral doctor blade. The sheet was immediately transferred into a furnace at 280° for 55 sec. Then the sheet was quenched in a water bath (RT). After 24 h at the earliest, the chemicals test was then carried out.

(29) The coated test sheet was brought into a horizontal position. One drop each of hydrochloric acid (HCl) 5% and of caustic soda solution (NaOH) 5% was applied to the sheet. The drop size should be 20 to 25 mm in diameter. The drops were then covered with a watch glass and left to stand for 48 h. The drops were then removed with water and the formerly covered surfaces were compared visually with the uncovered surfaces. Here, a rating scale of 0-3 was used (0=no attack, 3 maximum decomposition of pigments).

Example 14: Application Example, Powder Coating and Oxidation Test

(31) Powder coating sheets were prepared from different examples/comparison examples and cross-linked for 12 and optionally also for 60 min at 200° C. in a furnace. It was shown that only in the case of Examples 8b, 9b, 10-5, 10-7 and 10-8 no color change as a result of oxidation of the metallic effect pigments occurred.

(33) Furthermore, experiments were carried out in which the state of the oxidation was determined quantitatively by means of colorimetry. Here, the powder coating was applied to sheets and cross-linked for 10 min at 200° C. in a furnace. The lightness value (L value) of the obtained sheets was determined by means of a Minolta Spectrophotometer CM-508i.

(34) Furthermore, the color difference (ΔL) as a result of a treatment at 200° C. lasting 60 min longer was determined for different ones of the above-named powder coatings. The examples according to the invention here showed a lightness deviation of less than 3 units, while the comparison examples showed a lightness deviation of more than 8 units, and thus a strong oxidation.

Example 15: Application Example—Nail Polish

(36) The metallic effect pigments were stirred with a pigmentation of 4 wt.-% into base 359 (from International Lacquers) with a brush and then transferred into nail polish bottles customary in the trade. The nail polish bottles were then stored a) at RT and b) in a furnace with a temperature of 40° C. for 6 months. During the storage time, it was visually evaluated whether a green discoloration set in. In addition, it was tested whether the pigments which have settled at the bottom could be shaken up or redispersed again. If either green discoloration occurred or if the pigment could no longer be shaken up or redispersed, the storage test was regarded as failed.

(38) It was shown that the SiO.sub.2 coating alone is unable to guarantee a storage time of >6 months. Only by the additional plastic layer could a storage stability of >6 months be achieved.

Example 16: Application Example—Polymer

(39) Different copper-containing metallic effect pigments were processed, mixed with thermoplastic polypropylene (PP) (R 771-10; from DOW, Germany, Wesseling), using the injection molding process to form disks (surface area 42×60 mm, thickness 2 mm).

(40) To produce a 1 wt.-% mixture, the process was as follows:

(41) 495 g polypropylene granules (PP) and 4.95 g of the copper-containing pigment were mixed in a tumbling mixer and then processed in a twin-screw extruder (from Bersdorff, Germany, diameter 25 mm, 28UD) without the addition of further additives at a processing temperature of approx. 230° C. to form granules. These granules were then processed by means of an injection molding machine (Arburg Allrounder 221-55-250) at 260° C. to form the sample platelets with the above-named dimensions. The test for oxidation of the metal pigment took place by comparing the hue of the above-named platelets with reference platelets, the processing of which (production of granules and injection molding) was carried out at 190° C. For this, a Byk-mac from Byk-Gardner was used, wherein a ΔE<3 proved oxidation stability.
