Use Of A Paint Formulation Containing Metal-Effect Pigments For Painting A Vehicle Fitted With A Radar Sensor And A Lidar Sensor
Patent No. EP4222221 (titled "Use Of A Paint Formulation Containing Metal-Effect Pigments For Painting A Vehicle Fitted With A Radar Sensor And A Lidar Sensor") was filed by Schlenk Metallic Pigments on Oct 13, 2022. The application was issued on Dec 20, 2023.
Patent Summary
Paint formulation for vehicles equipped with radar and lidar sensors that enhances radar and lidar sensor performance while maintaining high color intensity and hiding power. The formulation comprises metal effect pigments with a metal substrate coated with precision-engineered dielectric layers. The dielectric layers, particularly silicon dioxide and iron oxide, provide high interference characteristics while maintaining the metal substrate's structural integrity. This design enables optimal performance of both radar and lidar sensors while ensuring the paint maintains its color intensity and hiding power.
