Objective
- protective coatings for UV-endangered surfaces (especially outdoor applications)
Method
- preparation of sol-gel derived inorganic-organic nanocomposite materials
- usage of UV-stable sol-gel-materials
- permanent incorporation of organic and/or inorganic UV-absorbents
|
Results
- optical transparency
- high scratch and abrasion resistance
- good adhesion on glass and plastics after suitable pretreatment
- UV-protection (> 2000 h Xenon-WOM)
- application with common wet-coating techniques; afterwards thermal curing
- abrasion resistance and permanent UV-protection
Applications
- branches: automotive, facades, installations
