Abstract

Abstract An aqueous thermosetting coating composition suitable for electrodeposition onto the surface of an article used as a cathode. The coating composition is an aqueous solution or dispersion of a resinous material and an organic and/or inorganic acid the resinous material being prepared by reacting (i) a secondary amine with (ii) epoxy groups pendant from a main chain of a copolymer of 5-50% by weight of an ethylenically unsaturated monomer containing epoxy groups and 50-95% by weight of one or more of vinyl or acrylic unsaturated monomers which do not contain epoxy groups and which are copolymerizable with the ethylenically unsaturated monomer. The secondary amine is employed in an amount of 0.1 - 0.8 equivalent per 1 equivalent of epoxy groups contained in said copolymer.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 6
Claim 1
Independent Claim 174 words
An aqueous thermosetting coating composition suitable for electrodeposition onto the surface of an article used as a cathode and comprising an aqueous solution or dispersion of a resinous material and an organic and/or inorganic acid, said resinous material being prepared by reacting (i) a secondary amine with (ii) epoxy groups pendant from a main chain of a copolymer of 5-50% by weight of an ethylenically unsaturated monomer containing epoxy groups and 50-95% by weight of one or more of vinyl or acrylic unsaturated monomers which do not contain epoxy groups and which are copolymerizable with the ethylenically unsaturated monomer, wherein said vinyl or acrylic unsaturated monomers are selected from the group consisting of styrene, substituted styrenes, vinyl esters of alkanoic acids containing 2-18 carbon atoms, acrylonitrile, methacrylonitrile, 1-18 carbon atoms-containing alkyl esters of acrylic or methacrylic acid, 2-4 carbon atoms-containing hydroxy alkyl esters of acrylic or methacrylic acid, and dialkyl esters of α,β-unsaturated dibasic acids, the amount of the secondary amine being 0.1-0.8 equivalent per 1 equivalent of epoxy groups contained in said copolymer.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 174 words
An aqueous thermosetting coating composition suitable for electrodeposition onto the surface of an article used as a cathode and comprising an aqueous solution or dispersion of a resinous material and an organic and/or inorganic acid, said resinous material being prepared by reacting (i) a secondary amine with (ii) epoxy groups pendant from a main chain of a copolymer of 5-50% by weight of an ethylenically unsaturated monomer containing epoxy groups and 50-95% by weight of one or more of vinyl or acrylic unsaturated monomers which do not contain epoxy groups and which are copolymerizable with the ethylenically unsaturated monomer, wherein said vinyl or acrylic unsaturated monomers are selected from the group consisting of styrene, substituted styrenes, vinyl esters of alkanoic acids containing 2-18 carbon atoms, acrylonitrile, methacrylonitrile, 1-18 carbon atoms-containing alkyl esters of acrylic or methacrylic acid, 2-4 carbon atoms-containing hydroxy alkyl esters of acrylic or methacrylic acid, and dialkyl esters of α,β-unsaturated dibasic acids, the amount of the secondary amine being 0.1-0.8 equivalent per 1 equivalent of epoxy groups contained in said copolymer.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 22 words
A coating composition as claimed in claim 1 wherein the epoxy-containing ethylenically unsaturated monomer is selected from glycidyl acrylate and glycidyl methacrylate.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 15 words
A coating composition as claimed in claim 1 wherein the secondary amine is a bisalkanolamine.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim 21 words
A coating composition as claimed in claim 1 wherein the acid is a mixture of an organic acid and inorganic acid.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim 15 words
A coating composition as claimed in claim 1, which further contains a water-miscible organic solvent.
