Abstract
Abstract The present invention discloses cataphoretic electrodeposition of metal articles wherein staining or discoloration particularly of light colors is prevented or reduced. The electrodepositable compositions of this invention comprise aqueous cationic paint dispersions blended with polyacids; the polyacids are introduced into electrodeposition baths by the addition of the acids thereto.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 6
Claim 1
Independent Claim
49 words
A cationic electrodepositable coating composition comprising: (A) an aqueous cationic paint dispersion, and further consisting essentially of: (B) an organic polycarboxylic acid or a salt thereof, said acid or salt being present in an amount sufficient to reduce discoloration of a coating due to metallic ions in the paint.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
49 words
A cationic electrodepositable coating composition comprising: (A) an aqueous cationic paint dispersion, and further consisting essentially of: (B) an organic polycarboxylic acid or a salt thereof, said acid or salt being present in an amount sufficient to reduce discoloration of a coating due to metallic ions in the paint.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
37 words
A cationic electrodepositable composition of claim 1, wherein the organic polycarboxylic acid or the salt thereof is present in an amount ranging from about 100 to 2000 parts per million based on total weight of the composition.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
37 words
A cationic electrodepositable composition of claim 2, wherein the organic polycarboxylic acid or the salt thereof is present in an amount ranging from about 100 to 1500 parts per million based on total weight of the composition.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
37 words
A cationic electrodepositable composition of claim 3, wherein the organic polycarboxylic acid or the salt thereof is present in an amount ranging from about 500 to 1000 parts per million based on total weight of the composition.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
