Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 8
Claim 1
Independent Claim
83 words
A method of electrocoating an electrically conductive surface serving as a cathode in an electrical circuit comprising said cathode, an anode, and an aqueous electrodepositable composition wherein net unidirectional electric current is passed through said circuit for causing deposition of said composition on said cathode and the resulting electrodeposit is baked to cure it, said method being characterized by using as said composition one that comprises synthetic, cation-active, film-forming, amino-stabilized latex particles having latex microgel content that is no substantially above about 2%.
Claim 2
Independent Claim
83 words
A method of electrocoating an electrically conductive surface serving as a cathode in an electrical circuit comprising said cathode, an anode, and an aqueous electrodepositable composition wherein net unidirectional electric current is passed through said circuit for causing deposition of said composition on said cathode and the resulting electrodeposit is baked to cure it, said method being characterized by using as said composition one that comprises synthetic, cation-active, film-forming, amino-stabilized latex particles having latex microgel content that is no substantially above about 2%.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
33 words
The method of claim 1 wherein said latex is a copolymer containing acrylate and/or methacrylate monomer units and is structurally cation-active by its containing monomer units that have secondary and/or tertiary amino functionality.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
32 words
The method of claim 1 wherein there is crosslinkability of said resulting electrodeposit provided by hydroxyl groups present that are reactable upon curing of said resulting electrodeposit with blocked/isocyanate groups present therein.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
28 words
The method of claim 1 wherein said aqueous electrodepositable composition contains a polyether surfactant and particulate material in the form of inorganic particles, plastic particles, and/or powder paint.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
32 words
The method of claim 1 wherein said aqueous electrodepositable composition is acid-ionized, contains about 1-25% solids, and the latex present therein has average particle size not substantially smaller than about 1000 Å.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
21 words
The method of claim 1 wherein said aqueous electrodepositable composition is maintained at a temperature of at least about 40° C.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
39 words
The method of claim 1 wherein said aqueous electrodepositable composition is replenished with a replenishment composition that is like said aqueous electrodepositable composition except that it is richer in solids and lower in acid than said aqueous electrodepositable composition.
