The invention relates to powder-coated substrates bearing on a
powder-coated surface a scratch-resistant and abrasion-resistant topcoat
of a coating material which comprises:
a) condensates based on hydrolyzable silanes containing at least one
non-hydrolyzable substituent, the hydrolyzable silanes having an epoxide
group on at least one non-hydrolyzable substituent;
b) a curing catalyst selected from Lewis bases and alkoxides of titanium,
zirconium or aluminium;
c) nanoscale particulate inorganic solids having a particle size in the
range from 1 to 100 nm; and
d) at least one organic monomer, oligomer or polymer containing at least
one epoxide group.
