Abstract

Abstract The present invention relates to a process for surface treatment for cathodic electrodeposit coating of a zinc-plated or zinc alloy-plated steel sheet comprising coating and drying a protective coating material on said steel sheet chromate-treated beforehand, to form a protective film before subjecting the sheet to the cathodic electrodeposit coating, which comprises coating a protective coating material having as a principal constituent of film-forming organic component a block isocyanate-containing prepolymer containing in one and the same molecule respectively at least one blocked isocyanate group, hydroxyl group, and tertiary amono group and containing 10-100 parts by weight of silica sol relative to 100 parts by weight of said prepolymer, in an amount of 0.3 g-4 g/m 2 , and then heat-drying the same.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 14
Claim 1
Independent Claim 137 words
A process for preparing a zinc-plated or zinc alloy-plated steel sheet for cathodic electrodeposition coating, said steel sheet having been chromate-treated, which comprises applying a protective coating material to said plated steel sheet and heat drying the resulting coating to form a protective film on said sheet, said protective coating material having as a principal component of a film-forming organic component a block isocyanate-containing prepolymer containing in one and the same molecule respectively at least one blocked isocyanate group, hydroxyl group, and tertiary amino group, and containing 10-100 parts by weight of silica sol relative to 100 parts by weight of said prepolymer, said coating material having been applied to the surface of said sheet in such a thickness that the resulting dry film is present in an amount of 0.3 g-4 g/m 2 of surface coated.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 137 words
A process for preparing a zinc-plated or zinc alloy-plated steel sheet for cathodic electrodeposition coating, said steel sheet having been chromate-treated, which comprises applying a protective coating material to said plated steel sheet and heat drying the resulting coating to form a protective film on said sheet, said protective coating material having as a principal component of a film-forming organic component a block isocyanate-containing prepolymer containing in one and the same molecule respectively at least one blocked isocyanate group, hydroxyl group, and tertiary amino group, and containing 10-100 parts by weight of silica sol relative to 100 parts by weight of said prepolymer, said coating material having been applied to the surface of said sheet in such a thickness that the resulting dry film is present in an amount of 0.3 g-4 g/m 2 of surface coated.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 39 words
The process according to claim 1, in which the block isocyanate-containing prepolymer is prepared by reacting a tertiary amino group-containing polyol with a polyisocyanate compound having at least one blocked isocyanate group and at least one free isocyanate group.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 35 words
The process according to claim 2, wherein the amino group-containing polyol is a trialkanolamine, an alkylene oxide adduct of a polyalkylene polyamine, or an adduct of an alkylene oxide and an alicyclic or aromatic polyamine.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim 19 words
A process according to claim 2, in which the amino group-containing polyol has been reacted with a diisocyanate compound.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim 23 words
The process according to claim 2, in which the amino group containing polyol is an adduct of an epoxy resin and a dialkanolamine.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim 15 words
The process according to claim 2, in which the polyisocyanate compound is an aromatic diisocyanate.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim 22 words
A process according to claim 1, in which the prepolymer includes isocyanate groups reacted with a polyol to form a urethane linkage.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim 15 words
The process according to claim 1, in which the isocyanate is blocked with a phenol.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim 29 words
A process according to claim 1, in which the molar ratio of hydroxyl groups to blocked isocyanate groups in the prepolymer is in the range of 3/1 to 1/3.
Claim 11
Dependent Claim 18 words
A process according to claim 9, in which the ratio is in the range of 2/1 to 1/2.
Claim 12
Dependent Claim 30 words
The process according to claim 1, in which the silica sol is present in an amount of 20 to 80 parts by weight relative to 100 parts of the prepolymer.
Claim 13
Dependent Claim 32 words
A steel sheet having an electrodeposition coating thereon, said coating having been applied by cathodic electrodeposition of a paint on the protective film of the coated steel sheet according to claim 11.
Claim 14
Dependent Claim 17 words
The coated steel sheet having a protective film thereon prepared by the process according to claim 1.
