Abstract Water-compatible compositions are described which consist essentially of at least one resinous compound whose backbone is linear or substantially linear and consists essentially of at least one oxyaryleneoxyalkylene or oxyaryleneoxy(1,3-(2-hydroxy)alkylene) unit and which bears at least two functional organic moieties through which cross-linking can occur (preferably groups having active hydrogen, more preferably aliphatic hydroxyl groups) and at least one terminal carbamoylpyridinium group covalently bonded through the ring nitrogen atom combined with an acid curable cross-linking agent. The compositions are useful coating compositions which find particular utility in cathodic electrodeposition. The compounds are prepared, for example, by reacting a linear or substantially linear epoxy resin with a carbamoylpyridine in the presence of sufficient amount of a Bronsted acid and water to stabilize the carbamoylpyridinium salt thus formed.
A water-compatible composition comprising (A) one or more resinous polymers having a backbone which is linear or substantially linear and consists essentially of at least one oxyaryleneoxyalkylene or oxyarylenoxy-(1,3-(2-hydroxy)-alkylene)) unit and which bears at least two active hydrogen groups, said resinous composition having carbamoylpyridinium groups attached through a ring nitrogen and (B) a cross-linking agent selected from the group consisting of amine aldehyde resins and phenol aldehyde resins.
