Claim 1
Independent Claim
171 words
A method of electrocoating a film forming substance onto a substrate by employing an anode, a cathode and an electrolyte therebetween comprising the steps: (1) Providing an aqueous electrolyte containing an organic coating composition comprising a dispersion, solution or suspension of a coating composition characterized by: (a) the reaction product of a conjugated fatty acid ester and an acrylic containing monomer; and (b) Formula A within the molecule and being the reaction product of reacting an amine with an oxirane ring; wherein Formula A is: --CH.sub.2 --C(Z)--CH.sub.2 --N═ wherein Z is independently selected from the group consisting of hydrogen, hydroxyl, alkoxy of from one to 6 carbon atoms; acyloxy of from one to 6 carbon atoms; (═O),--OR'-- n H, --OR'-- n OH, and --OR'(CH 2 OH)-- n OH; wherein R' is a saturated alkylene of from 2 to 4 carbon atoms and n is a number from 1 to 6; (2) Closing the circuit between the anode and the cathode; and (3) Depositing the film forming composition onto the cathodic substrate.
