The invention relates to a method for producing a coating material as well as the use of the coating material. In order to provide a method for producing a novel coating material with which scratchproof coatings can be fabricated and which may also be used as coating powder, it is proposed within the scope of the invention that one or more organic molecules, oligomers or polymers comprising at least one functional group react with one or more silanes comprising at least one functional organic group on an organic side chain to form a covalent bond between the organic molecule, oligomer or polymer and the silane, thus resulting in a high-molecular-weight silane which can be cured directly by means of a catalyst. Surprisingly, it has been found that by reacting organically functionalized silanes, e.g. silanes that have an NCO- functional group (and are, at the most, slightly pre-crosslinked), with suitable reaction partners, a novel class of compounds can be produced which, in the form ofcoating powders, high-solids binders or 100 percent resins, may be used as coating material. |
