Abstract
Domestic appliances are provided with a catalytic deodorizing coating, prepared by applying a coating material containing a polycondensate of at least one hydrolysable organosilane, optionally one or more compounds of glass-forming elements, and particles of one or more catalytically active transition metal oxides, and then heat-treating the applied coating material.
Claims9
A domestic appliance comprising a catalytic composition for deodorizing or oxidizing purposes, the catalytic composition comprising a coating of a coating material containing particles of at least one catalytically active transition metal oxdie on a support, prepared by a process comprising the steps of:
- (i) applying to the support a coating material comprising:
- (1) a polycondensate of
- (A) at least one silane of the formula Ra—Si—X(4-a) where each R, which may be the same or different, is a non-hydrolyzable group;
- each X, which may be the same or different, is a hydroxy group or hydrolyzable group;
- and a is an integer of 0 to 3 and is greater than 0 for at least 50 mol % of the silanes;
- or an oligomer derived therefrom, and
- (B) optionally, at least one compound of a glass-forming element, and
- (2) particles of at least one catalytically active transition metal oxide, the weight ratio of the particles of the at least one catalytically active transition metal oxide to the polycondensate being from 10:1 to 1:10;
- and
- (ii) thermally treating the applied coating material to form the coating, the catalytic composition being a component of the domestic appliance or of a device connected to the domestic appliance.
