Silane crosslinked aqueous passivating films: BASFRecent Research Landscape

Poor film adhesion and pigment instability lead to coating failure and high rework costs. These innovations utilize specific polymer-silane architectures to stabilize lamp black dispersions and ensure robust crosslinking during electrodeposition.

What technical problems is BASF addressing in Silane crosslinked aqueous passivating films?

Inadequate corrosion protection durability

(8)evidences

Standard aqueous coatings often suffer from poor adhesion and moisture permeability on metallic surfaces. Improving the barrier properties and chemical bonding at the substrate interface prevents premature material degradation.

Interlayer adhesion failure

(6)evidences

Inadequate bonding between cathodic electrodeposition layers and subsequent polyurethane systems leads to delamination. Improving interfacial strength ensures structural integrity of multi-layer metal finishes.

Metallic surface corrosion degradation

(4)evidences

Untreated industrial substrates suffer from rapid oxidative degradation and poor interfacial adhesion. Addressing this vulnerability prevents structural failure and extends material lifespan.

Inadequate coating bath stability

(4)evidences

Irregular deposition rates and poor distribution of coating materials on complex substrates. Achieving uniform thickness ensures consistent corrosion protection and surface finish quality.
