Abstract

Abstract Quaternary ammonium hydroxide-containing polymers and their use in coating applications are disclosed. The quaternary ammonium hydroxide-containing polymers are prepared from reacting a polyglycidyl ether of a cyclic polyol with a tertiary amine in the presence of a sufficient amount of water for the formation of quaternary hydroxide groups. The quaternary ammonium hydroxide-containing polymers are particularly good as electrocoating resins in that they electrodeposit without generating acid counterion. They are also good in other conventional coating applications such as dip, flow, spray and roll coating in that the resulting coating can be baked without the generation of corrosive acid.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 10
Claim 1
Independent Claim 105 words
A water-dispersible, curable, resinous coating composition in which the resinous commponent comprises an active hydrogen-containing quaternary ammonium hydroxide-containing polymer in combination with a blocked isocyanate curing agent, said quaternary ammonium hydroxide-containing polymer comprising the reaction product of: (A) a polyglycidyl ether of a cyclic polyol; (B) a tertiary amine; sufficient water being present during the reaction of (A) and (B) for the formation of quaternary ammonium hydroxide groups without substantial advancement in molecular weight of the polymer, said quaternary ammonium hydroxide-containing polymer having a molecular weight of 1000 to 5000 and containing 0.05 to 6.0 milliequivalents of quaternary nitrogen base group per gram of polymer.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 105 words
A water-dispersible, curable, resinous coating composition in which the resinous commponent comprises an active hydrogen-containing quaternary ammonium hydroxide-containing polymer in combination with a blocked isocyanate curing agent, said quaternary ammonium hydroxide-containing polymer comprising the reaction product of: (A) a polyglycidyl ether of a cyclic polyol; (B) a tertiary amine; sufficient water being present during the reaction of (A) and (B) for the formation of quaternary ammonium hydroxide groups without substantial advancement in molecular weight of the polymer, said quaternary ammonium hydroxide-containing polymer having a molecular weight of 1000 to 5000 and containing 0.05 to 6.0 milliequivalents of quaternary nitrogen base group per gram of polymer.
