| abstract |
The present invention relates to a composition for coating metals to protect against corrosion, comprising (i) a sol based on silicon compounds, (ii) at least one aminoalkyl-functional alkoxysilane and/or (iii) at least one reaction product of components (i) and (ii), the amount of aminoalkyl-functional silane component from (ii) and (iii) being in total from 0.01 to 15% by weight, calculated as the particular aminoalkylalkoxysilane used and based on the SiO2 content of the sol as per (i); to a process for preparing such a composition, and to its use. |
