Patent ID: 7736730

Claim:
A method comprising: coating a metallic surface of a metallic strip with at least one anticorrosion layer; coating the anticorrosive-coated metallic surface with at least one layer of a first paint or polymer-containing layer to yield a metallic surface that is coated at least twice; dividing the twice coated metallic surface of the metallic strip into sections; forming the sections to produce formed sections; and coating the formed sections by applying a second polymer-containing layer by applying an aqueous composition comprising water and a) at least one organic film former comprising at least one water-soluble or water-dispersed polymer having an acid number in the range from 5 to 200, b) at least one particulate inorganic compound, having an average particle diameter, measured in a scanning electron microscope, in the range of from 0.005 to 0.3 microns, c) at least one lubricant to form a second polymer containing layer on the formed section, and d) at least one silane or polysiloxane; drying the coating of the aqueous composition to form a dried particle-containing film on said formed section, wherein the dried film has a thickness in the range from 0.01 to 10 microns; wherein no anticorrosive coating contains chromate, wherein the pH of the aqueous solution of the organic film former without the addition of further compounds is in the range of from 6 to 10.5, wherein a readily deformable coating which is in a relatively plastic state is formed.
