An initial solids mixture for a later organic coating, such as pigmented coatings, films, priming coats, etc., e.g., for a coil coating method in which an initial solids mixture is applied to a substrate, e.g., broad strip, and this is thereby pre-coated, wherein the initial solids mixture includes, as additive particles, boron carbide and/or silicon carbide and/or compounds of transition elements or lanthanides, the electrical conductivity of which is selected to be in the metallic range (.sigma.>10.sup.2 1/.OMEGA.cm and .sigma.<10.sup.7 1/.OMEGA.cm), during the later coating, the additive particles have a continuous physical connection in at least one spatial direction.
The invention relates to an enamel-like mixture containing resin and inorganic particles for applying a polymeric, corrosion-proof, wear-resistant, deformable and electrically conductive covering to a substrate. Said mixture contains at least 10 wt. % of electrically conductive particles having an electrical conductivity better than that of zinc particles and having a Moh's hardness greater than 4 with regard to the solids contents of the mixture. These electrically conductive particles have a particle size distribution in which 3 to 22 vol. % of the electrically conductive particles, measured with a Mastersizer 2000 equipped with measuring head Hydro 2000S of the company Malvern Instruments, are, in a volume representation, larger than the average layer thickness of the dried and, optionally, also hardened covering determined on recordings made using a scanning electron microscope. The invention also relates to a method for producing a corrosion-proof, viscoelastic, wear-resistant, deformable and electrically conductive covering, which contains polymers and inorganic polymers, on a substrate and to corresponding coverings applied to a substrate.
A water based coating mixture for the application of a polymeric coating to a substrate mixture includes water and optionally an organic solvent, at least one free-radically polyerizable compound. Preferably the coating is weldable.
