The ob~ect forming the basis of the present invention i~ to prepare pigmented aqueous basecoats which comprise cros31inked polymeric microparticles, obtainable 2S by emulsion polymerization of (A) ethylenically unsaturated monomers which contain one ethylenically unsaturated group in the molecule, or zo~ 3a~

The addition of the monomers can be effected by first placing a solution comprising ~he total water, the emulsifier and some of the initiator in the reaction vessel and then slowly adding, at the polymerization temperature, the monomer or the mixture of monomers and, separately but side by side, the remaining initiator. Howevex, it is also possible first to introduce in the reaction vessel some of the water and emulsifier and to form from the remaining water and emulsifier and from the monomer or mixture of monomers a pre-emulsion which is then slowly added at the polymerizatlon temperature, the initiator being again added separately.

H~lscher, Springer Verlag, Berlin, Heidelberg, New York, i969).
If the emulsion polymerization to be carried out to prepare the crosslinked polymeric microparticles to be usad according to the invention is initiated by a redox initiator system consisting of H2O2 and a non-ionic, water-solublQ reducing agent (as disclosed in EP-A 107,-iO0), basecoats are obtained which are suitable ~ ~ 7 . . . .

The equivalence ratio of NCO to OH groups is between 1.5 and 1.0 to 1.0, preferably between 1.4 and 1.2 l;o 1. The polyols used for the preparation of the prepolymers may be low-molecular and/or high-molecular and they may contain anionic groups which axe slow to react.
In order to raise the hardness of the poly-urethane, low-molecular polyols may be used. They have a molecular weight of 60 up to about 400 and may comprise aliphatic, alicyclic or aromatic groups. Amounts of up to 30~ by weight of the total polyol components, preferably about 2 to 20% by weight, are usecl.

Up to 97% by weight of the total polyol can consist of saturated and unsaturated polyesters and/or polyethers having a molecular mass Mn of 400 to 5,000. Suitable high-molecular polyols are aliphatic polyether diols of the general formula H-(-O-(-CHR-)n-)m-OH in which R is hydrogen or a low alkyl radical which may be unsubstitu-ted or substituted by various substituents, n being 2 to 6, preferably 3 to 4 and m being 2 to 100, preferably 5 to 50. Examples are linear or branched polyether diols such as polytoxyethylene) glycols, poly(oxypropylene) glycols and/or poly(oxybutylene) glycols. The chosen polyether diols should not introduce an excessive amount of ether groups, since otherwise the polymers formed swell in water. The preferred polyether diols are poly-(oxypropyleno) glycols in the molecular mass Mn range of 400 to 3,000. Polyester diols are prepared by esterifying organic dicarboxylic acids or their anhydrides with organic diols or they are derived from a hydroxycar-boxylic acid or a lactone. To prepare branched polyester polyols, polyols or polycarboxylic acids of high valency may be u~ed to a small extent. The dicarboxylic acids and diols may be linear or branched aliphatic, cycloaliphatic or aromatic dicarboxylic acids or diols.

ponent of the polyester consists mainly of low molecular dicarboxylic acids or their anhydrideq having 2 to 30, S preferably 4 to 1~ carbon atoms in the molecule. Examples of æuitable acids are o-phthalic acid, isophthalic acid, terephthalic acid, tetrahydrophthalic acid, cyclohexane-dicarboxylic acid, quccinic acid, adipic acid, azelaic acid, sebacic acid, maleic acid, fumaric acid, glutaric acid, hexachloroheptanedicarboxylic acid, tetrachloro~

instead of the acids. For the formation of polyester polyol , relatively small amounts of carboxylic acids with three or more carboxyl groups, for example tri-mellitic anhydride or the adduct of maleic anhydride and unsaturated Patty acids, may be also present.
According to the invention, it i~ also possible to use polye~ter diols which are obtained by reacting a lactone with a diol. They are distinguished by the pre~ence of a terminal hydroxyl group and recurring -:

in which n and R have the meaning already defined. For the prepara~ion of the polyester diols the unsubstituted -~-caprolactone, in which n has the value of 4 and all R
substituents are hydrogen, is preferred. The reaction with lactone is initiated by relatively low-molecular polyols, such as ethylene glycol, 1,3-propanediol, 1,4-butanediol and dimethylolcyclohexane. However, other reactants such a~ ethylenediamine, alkyldialkanolamines or even urea may be reacted with caprolactone. -Suitable higher-molecular diols are also poly-lactam diols which are prepared by the reaction of, for example, 6 -caprolactam with relatively low-molecular diols.
Aliphatic, cycloaliphatic and/or aromatic poly-, isocyanates having at least two isocyanate groups per molecule are employed as typical multifunctional iso-cyanates. Isomar~ or isomeric mixtures of organic diisocyanate~ are preferred. Suitable aromatic diiso-cyanates are phenylene diisocyanate, toluylene diiso- ;

Because of their good resistance to ultraviolet light, (cyclo)aliphatic diisocyanates give rise to products with a low tendency to yellowing. Example~ of these diisocyanates are isophorone diisocyanate, cyclo~
pentylene diisocyanate and hydrogenation products of aromatic diisocyanates such as cyclohexylene diisocyanate, methylcyclohexylene diisocyanate and dicyclohexylm~thane diisocyanate~ Examples of aliphatic diisocyanate~ are trimethylene diisocyanate, tetramethy-lene diisocyanate, pentamethylene diisocyanate, hexamethylene diisocyanate, propylene diisocyanate, ethylethylene diisocyanate, dimethylethylene diiso-cyanate, methyltrimethylene diisocyanate andtrimethylhexane diisocyanate. The diisocyanates particularly preferred are isophorone diisocyanate and dicyclohexylmethane diisocyanate. The polyisocyanate component u~ed for the formation of the prepolymer may also contain some polyisocyanates of higher valency, provided that these do not cause gelling. Suitable triisocyanates have been found to be products which are formed by trimerization or oligomerization of diisocya-nates or by the reaction of diisocyanates with -`-polyfunctional OH-containing or NH-containing compound~

Examples of ~uch chain-terminating monoisocyanates are phenyl isocyanate~ cyclohexyl isocyanate and stearyl isocyanate.
Polyurethanes are generally not compatible with water, unless special components are incorporated during their synthesis and/or unless special preparative steps are undertaken. Such a high acid value is incorporated in thi manner that the neutralized product is disper-sible in water to give a stable dispQrsion. Compounds which are suitable for thi~ purpose contain two H-active groups which are reactive with isocyanate groups and at least one group capable of forming anions. Suitable groups wllich aro reactiva with isocyanate groups arQ
particularly hydroxyl groups as well as primary and/or secondary amino group-~. Groups which are capable of forming anions, are carboxyl, sulfonic acid and/or phosphonic acid groups. Carboxylic acid or carboxylate groups are preferred. They should be so slow to react that the isocyanate groups of the diisocyanate preferably react with the other groups in the molecule which are r~active toward isocyanate group~. Alkanoic acids having two ~ubstituents on the ~ carbon atom, are used for this purpose. Th~ substituent may be a hydroxyl group, an alkyl group or an alkylol group. These polyols have at 200~g8~
- 16 - 21.10.1988~fe - LPAP - 0812z least one, generally 1 to 3 carboxyl groups in the molecule. They have two to about 25, preferably 3 to 10 carbon atoms. Examples of such compounds are dihydroxy-propionic acid, dihydroxysuccinic acid and dihydroxyben-zoic acid. ~ group of dihydro:~yalkanoic acids which isparticularly preferred, are the ~ dimethylolalkanoic acids which are represented by the ~tructural formula ;-RC(CH2OH)2COOH, in which R is hydrogen or an alkyl group having up to 20 carbon atoms. Example~ of such compounds are 2,2-dimethylolacetic acid, 2,2-dimethylolpropionic -acid, 2,2-dimethylolbutyric acid and 2,2-dimethylol-pentanoic acid. The preferred dihydroxyalkanoic acid i~
2,2-dLmethylolpropionic acid. Examples of amino~con-taining compound~ are ~ diaminovaleric acid, 3,4-diaminobenzoic acid, 2,4-diaminotoluene sulfonic acid and 2,4-diaminodiphenyl ether sulfonic acid. The polyol containing carboxyl groups may form 3 to 100% by weight, preferably 5 to 50~ by weight, of the total polyol component in the NCO prepolymer.
The amount of ionizable carboxylic group~ avail-able in salt form by neutrali~a~ion of the carboxyl groups is generally at least 0.4~ by weight, prefera~ly at lea~t 0.7~ by weight, ba~ed on the solids content. The --upper limit i~ about 6% by weight. The amount of ;
dihydroxyalkanoic acids in the non-neutralized prepolymer give~ rise to an acid value of at leat 5, preferably at lea3t 10. The upper acid value limit is 70, preferably 21)0~9~3'7 - 17 - 21.10.1988/fe LPAP - 0812z 40, based on the solids content.
This dihydroxyalkanoic acid is advantageously at least partially neutrali2ed with a tertiary amine prior to the reaction with isocyanat~es in order to prevent a reaction with the isocyanates.
The NCO prepolymers used according to the inven-tion may be prepared by a simultaneous reaction of the polyol or polyol mixture with an excess of diisocyanate.
Otherwise the reaction may be carried out in stages in the prescribed sequence.
Examples are disclosed in DE 2,624,442 and DE 3,210,051. The reaction temperature is up to 150C, a temperature in the range of 50 to 130C being preferred.
The reaction is continued until virtually all the hydroxyl function~ have reacted.
The NCO prepolymer contains at least about 0.5%
by weight of i~ocyanste groups, preferably at least 1~ by weight of NCO, based on the solids content. The upper limit is about 15~ by weight, preferably 10% by weight, particularly preferably about 5% by weight. The reaction may be carried out in the pre~ence or ab3ence of a catalyst, such as organotin compounds and/or tertiary amines. In oxder to maintain the coreactants in a liquid state and to allow a bstter temperature control during the reaction, it is possible to add organic solvents which contain no active Zerewitinoff hydrogen.

esters, ketones such as methyl ethyl ketone and acetone, ketones substituted by methoxy groups such as methoxyhexanone, glycol ether asters, chlorinated hydro-carbons, aliphatic and alicyclic hydrocarbon pyrrolidones such as N-methylpyrrolidone, hydxogenated furans, aroma- - -tic hydrocarbons and mixtures thereof. The amount of solvent can vary within a wide range and should be sufficient to allow the formation of a prepolymer solu-tion of suitable viscosity. 0.01 to 15% by weight of solvent~, preferably 0.02 to 8% by weight of solvents, -~
based on the solids content, is generally sufficient.
Should the boiling point of any water-insoluble solvents present be lower than water, such solvents may be care-fully distilled off by vacuum distillation or thin-layer evaporation after preparation of the polyurethane disper-sion containing urea groups. Higher-boiling ~olvents should be water-soluble and they remain in the aqueous polyurethane dispersion in order to facilitate the ;~
coalescence of the polymer particles during film forma- -tion. The solvent which is particularly preferred is N-mathylpyrrolidone, either alone or in admixture with ketones such as methyl ethyl ketone.
Tho anionic group of the NC0 prepolymer are at least partially neutralized with a tertiary amine. The increase in dispersibility in water caused thereby is sufficient to achieve infinite thinnability. It is also 2() 1)49~37 - 19 - 21.10.1988/fe sufficient to disperse the neutralized polyurethane containing urea groups to form a stable dispersion.
Examples of suitable tertiary amines are trimethylamine, triethylamine and N-methylmorphLoline. The NCO prepolymer is after neutralization thinned with water to give rise to a finely divided dispersion. Soon after that any isocyanate groups present are reacted with diamines and/or polyamines co~taining primary and/or secondary amino groups as chain lengtheners. This reaction leads to a further linking and to an increase of the molecular weight. In order to obtain optimum properties, the competing reaction between amiine and water wi~h the isocyanate must be carefully ad~usted (duration, tem-perature, concentration) and must be carefully controlled to be reproducible. Water-soluble compounds are preferred as chain lengtheners, since they increase the disper-sibility of the polymeric end product in water. Hydrazine and organic diamines are preferred, since they usually provide the highest molecular mass without the resin gelling. It is assumed, however, that for this purpose the ratio of the amino group~ to the isocyanate groups is expediently chosen. The amount of the chain lengkhener is determined by its functionality, the NCO content of ~he prepoiymer and by the reaction time. The ratio of the active hydrogen atoms in the chain leng~hener to the NC0 group~ in the prepolymer should usually be less than 2 s 1 and preferably in the region of 1.0 : 1 to 1.75 ~

~` Z~)0~ 37 '.~:`' ! , - - 20 - 21.10.1988/fe LPAP - 0812z The presence of excess active hydrogen, especially in the form of primary amino groups, may lead to polymers having undesirably low molecular mass. The polyamines are essentially alkylene polyamines having 1 to 40 carbon atoms, preferably about 2 to 15 carbon atoms. They may carry subqtituents which are free from hydrogen atoms capable of reacting with isocyanate groups. Examples are polyamines with linear or branched alLphatic, cyclo~
aliphatic or aromatic structure and containing at least two primary amino groups. Suitable diamines are ethylene-diamine, propylenediamine, 1,4-butylenediamine, piper-azine, 1,4-cyclohexyldimethylamine, 1,6-hexamethylene-diamine, trimethylhexamethylenediamine, methanediamine, isophoronediamine, 4,4'-diaminodicyclohexylmethane and aminoethylethanolamine. Preferred diamines are alkyl-diamines or cycloalkyldiamine~ such as propylenediamine and l-amino-3-aminomethyl-3,5,5-trimethylcyclohexane.
The chain lengthening may be achieved, at least partially, w:Lth a polyamine which contains at least three amine groups having a reactive hydrogen. This type of polyamine may be u~ed in such an amount that unreacted amine nitrogen atoms having 1 or 2 reactive hydrogen . , : .
atoms are present after the lengthening of the polymer.
Suitablo poly~mine~ of thi~ type are diethylenetriamine, triethylenetetramine, dipropylenetriamine and dibutylene-triamine. Preferred polyamines are the alkyltriamines or cycloalkyltri~mines such a~ diethylenetriamine. In order 20~87 - 21 - 21.10.1988/fe LPAP - 0812z to prevent gelling during the chain lengthening, a small amount of monoamines, such as ethylhexylamine, may be added.
The water thinnable polyurethane resins to be used according to the invention and their preparation are also disclosed in EP-A 89,497 and US-PS 4,719,132.
The preferred basecoats comprise a mixture of 90 to 40% by weight of the crosslinked polymeric micropar~
ticles described above and 10 to 60% by weight of the water thinnable polyurethane resin containing urea groups, described above, the weight percentages referring in each case to the solids content and their total being alway~ 100% by weight.

The basecoats accord-ing to the invention preferably comprise metallic pigments and/or effect pigments. The degree of pigmenta-tion is within the usual ranges.
In addition, the ba~ecoats according to the invention may comprise the usual rheological inorganic or organic additive~. Thus, for example, water-soluble cellulose ethers such as hydroxyethyl cellulose, methyl cellulose or carboxymethyl cellulose as well as synthetic polymer~ containing ionic and/or associatively acting groups such a~ polyvinyl alcohol, poly(meth)acrylamide, poly(meth)acrylic acid, polyvinylpyrrolidone, styrene-maleic anhydrids copolymers or ethylene-maleic anhydride copolymers and derivatives thereo~, or hydrophobically modified ethoxylated urethanes or polyacrylates are example~ of thickeners. Carboxyl-containing polyacrylate copolymers having an acid value of 60 to 780, preferably 200 to 500, are particularly preferred.
The bacecoatc~ according to the invention general-ly have a solids content of about 15 to 50~ by weight.

The pH of the basecoats according to the invention is generally adjusted to between 6.5 and 9Ø The pH may be adjusted with the usual amines, eg. ammonia, triethylamine, dimethylamino~
ethanol and N-methylmorpholine.
The object stated in greater detail at the outset is achieved by the preparation of the basecoats according ;`
to the invention.
The basecoats according to the invention provide high-~uality coatings even without being themselves coated with a clear topcoat. ;
