COMPONENT WITH A SELF-HEALING SURFACE LAYER, SELF-HEALING ENAMEL OR COATING POWDER WITH SELF-HEALING PROPERTIES

摘要

The invention relates to a component (19) with a self-healing surface layer(20) ora self-healing enamel (21) or a coating powder. According to the invention,the self-healingis guaranteed through a reactive substance (15) that is encased inside ofsheathedparticles (12). Damage (21) to the enamel layer leads to the destruction ofthe sheathing(14), preferably under the influence of a catalytic material (16), so that theencased fluidenamel (15) can escape. Under the effect of UV light, the fluid enamel curesand closesthe resultant crack (21).
