Abstract
Abstract Emulsion electrocoat systems are provided in which a non-water dispersible resinous polyol is emulsified in the aqueous phase by means of an hydroxy functional emulsifying agent and an aminoplast resin is also present for cure. Superior corrosion resistance is obtained by having hydroxy functionality available in both the emulsified phase and in the emulsifying agent which disperses it.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 13
Claim 1
Independent Claim
120 words
An aqueous emulsion adapted for electrophoretic film deposition comprising 15 -50 % of non-water dispersible resinous polyol which is thermoplastic per se and has an hydroxy value of at least 20 emulsified in the continuous aqueous phase of 15-50% of said emulsion by means of a resinous hydroxy functional polycarboxylic acid emulsifying agent, the resin of said emulsifying agent having an hydroxy value of at least 20 and an acid number of at least 30, said emulsifying agent being reacted with base to form salts which are dissociated in said aqueous phase, said emulsion further including 5-50% of aminoplast resin for curing said emulsifying agent and said polyol, said percentages all being based on the total weight of non-volatile vehicle.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
120 words
An aqueous emulsion adapted for electrophoretic film deposition comprising 15 -50 % of non-water dispersible resinous polyol which is thermoplastic per se and has an hydroxy value of at least 20 emulsified in the continuous aqueous phase of 15-50% of said emulsion by means of a resinous hydroxy functional polycarboxylic acid emulsifying agent, the resin of said emulsifying agent having an hydroxy value of at least 20 and an acid number of at least 30, said emulsifying agent being reacted with base to form salts which are dissociated in said aqueous phase, said emulsion further including 5-50% of aminoplast resin for curing said emulsifying agent and said polyol, said percentages all being based on the total weight of non-volatile vehicle.
