Abstract

Abstract Synthetic resins which are water-dispersible Zwitterion-containing resins and containing chemically-bound quaternary ammonium base groups can be dissolved or dispersed in water to provide aqueous coating compositions. Such compositions in which these resins are the major resinous component can be applied by electrodeposition and deposit on the cathode to provide coatings of improved properties including a high degree of resistance to corrosion or staining.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 8
Claim 1
Independent Claim 35 words
An ungelled, inherently water-dispersible, substantially epoxy group-free, synthetic organic resin containing Zwitterions, said Zwitterions consisting of a quaternary ammonium base group and an acid anion, said organic resin being derived from an epoxy resinous material.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 35 words
An ungelled, inherently water-dispersible, substantially epoxy group-free, synthetic organic resin containing Zwitterions, said Zwitterions consisting of a quaternary ammonium base group and an acid anion, said organic resin being derived from an epoxy resinous material.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 15 words
A resin as in claim 1 in which the acid anion is a carboxyl group.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 24 words
A resin as in claim 1 wherein the resin is selected from the group consisting of vinyl addition polymers, polyethers, polyurethanes, polyesters and polyamides.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim 17 words
A resin as in claim 1 which contains about 0.05 percent to about 16 percent quaternary nitrogen.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim 24 words
The ungelled, inherently water-dispersible, substantially epoxy group-free, synthetic organic resin containing Zwitterions of claim 1 in which the epoxy resinous material is a polyepoxide.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim 35 words
An ungelled, inherently water-dispersible, substantially epoxy group-free, synthetic organic resin containing Zwitterions, said Zwitterions consisting of a quaternary ammonium base group and a carboxyl group, said organic resin being derived from an epoxy resinous material.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim 35 words
An ungelled, inherently water-dispersible, substantially epoxy group-free, synthetic organic resin containing Zwitterions, said Zwitterions consisting of a quaternary ammonium base group and a carboxyl group, said organic resin being derived from an epoxy resinous material.
