Abstract
Abstract A curable coating composition contains a polymer having pendant mercaptan groups and a bis-maleimide cross-linking agent. The mercaptan groups of the polymer cross-link with the bis-maleimide upon curing to form a fully cured coating. In a preferred embodiment, the coating composition serves as a cathodic electrocoating composition.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 10
Claim 1
Independent Claim
83 words
A coating composition in aqueous dispersion for forming an ultraviolet radiaton curable film thereof, which comprises: a water-dispersed polymer having at least about 5% by weight pendant mercaptan groups; at least about 5% by weight of said polymer of a bis-maleimide cross-linking agent; and at least about 0.5% by weight of said polymer of an ultraviolet photosensitizer, said bis-maleimide having alpha-, beta-ethylenic unsaturation for cross-linking said polymer through said marcaptan groups by addition polymerization upon subsequent ultraviolet radiation curing of said curable film.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
83 words
A coating composition in aqueous dispersion for forming an ultraviolet radiaton curable film thereof, which comprises: a water-dispersed polymer having at least about 5% by weight pendant mercaptan groups; at least about 5% by weight of said polymer of a bis-maleimide cross-linking agent; and at least about 0.5% by weight of said polymer of an ultraviolet photosensitizer, said bis-maleimide having alpha-, beta-ethylenic unsaturation for cross-linking said polymer through said marcaptan groups by addition polymerization upon subsequent ultraviolet radiation curing of said curable film.
