Abstract
The description relates to a paint based on hydrolyzable silanes, said paint producing after drying highly wear-resistant and flexible coatings and obtainable by reacting one or more hydrolyzable silicon compounds, having an epoxy ring, with water in a specific quantity range. Drying takes place preferably thermally by adding a tertiary amine, in particular an N-alkylimidazole acting as the polymerization initiator for the epoxy groups. Particularly successful results are obtained by using a cyclical carbon acid anhydride in addition to the tertiary amine.
