Primer Electrodeposition or Liquid Primer Pretreatment
Liquid primers lend themselves to a wide variety of applications; they are mainly applied to prevent corrosion, or to promote adhesion of the following coating layers, where direct adhesion on the substrate may not be perfect.
2 layer system
One-component products are particularly associated to broader range of applications and to higher handling versatility, while twocomponent ones allow comparatively better performances in the crosslinking phase and in corrosion resistance.
Substrate Metal or Plastic
BASF Coatings offers versatile systems for metal and plastic substrates for all possible requirements.

1.3 Clearcoats
Basecoats Liquid Primer Electrodeposition or Liquid Primer Pretreatment
Substrate Metal or Plastic
Clearcoats are the last layer applied in surface coating, used as finish. In industrial coating processes, clearcoats are generally applied either in 3-layer systems, characterized by a primer coat, a basecoat, and finally, the clear finishing coat, or in 2-layer ones, in combination with a basecoat that is applied directly onto the substrate.
The task of the B-Cube Clear coats is to ensure the best possible protection of the basecoat, which gives painted objects their color, while at the same time meeting the highest demands in terms of color depth and gloss performances: Very good weathering and chemical resistance n Highest scratch resistance n Outstanding brilliance n

BASF Industrial Coatings 2.1 Coatings Solutions
BASF Coatings aims at providing innovative and eco-efficient coating systems and processes that cover a wide variety of applications in industrial coating and industrial goods production.
Today it is no longer sufficient to be an expert in one paint technology because most finishing jobs require extensive know-how. This is why every time BASF Coatings develops new coating solutions always has in mind to design total coating solutions instead of simple products. BASF Coatings is one of the few European paint suppliers with a comprehensive product portfolio comprising: Electrocoat paints Powder coatings n Liquid solvent coatings, high solid and water based n n
Tailor-made system concepts BASF Coatings combines products, for example electrocoat paints and powder coatings, to obtain intelligent solutions which we can offer our custumers as eco-efficient and econimically interesting coating system from one single source with extensive know-how. The competence that BASF Coatings offers in the research and development laboratories guarantees always the best results obtainable into the market. There is more to coating than just the paint To form a genuine system, paint and process must interact perfectly with each other. This means that we of BASF Coatings proactively support the development of new application technology by sharing our knowledge with machine and equipment manufacturers and by providing innovation impetus.
