Abstract:
A method of coating substrates comprisinga) preparing an aqueous coating material from a water dilutable binder which is self-crosslinking at room temperature obtained by aa) reacting epoxy-amine adducts A together with formaldehyde F or formaldehyde donor compounds which split off formaldehyde under the reaction conditions, and formaldehyde resin formers B selected from the group consisting of phenols B1, substituted ureas and ureas B2, melamine B3, guanamines B4, and mixtures of said resin formers, to form a reaction product ABF, ab) neutralising the reaction product ABF to at least 5%, ac) diluting the neutralised reaction product ABF with deionised water, ad) processing the reaction product ABF and a pigment, b) applying the coating material of step a) to a substrate by brushing, roll coating or spraying, and c) drying the coating at room temperature by self-crosslinking, wherein step ad) is performed after step aa), after step ab) or after step ac).
