Abstract
Abstract Disclosed herein are cathodic electrocoat compositions which contain electroconductive pigments. These pigments are light in color, and can be added at higher pigment to binder ratios for improved edge coverage. More specifically, the electroconductive pigments are a two-dimensional network of antimony-containing tin oxide crystallites which exist in a unique association with amorphous silica or with a silica-containing material.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 8
Claim 1
Independent Claim
107 words
In a cathodic electrocoating composition comprising a binder of crosslinkable resin and crosslinker and containing pigment; wherein the improvement comprise the use of electroconductive pigment in a pigment to binder weight ratio of about 0.1:1 to 0.5:1 in which the electroconductive pigment is a powder comprising shaped particles selected from the group consisting of amorphous silica, silica containing material or particles comprising an inert core material having an amorphous silica coating or a silica containing coating; said shaped particles being surface-coated with a two-dimensional conducting network of antimony-containing tin oxide crystallites in which the antimony content ranges from about 1-30% by weight of the tin oxide crystallites.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
107 words
In a cathodic electrocoating composition comprising a binder of crosslinkable resin and crosslinker and containing pigment; wherein the improvement comprise the use of electroconductive pigment in a pigment to binder weight ratio of about 0.1:1 to 0.5:1 in which the electroconductive pigment is a powder comprising shaped particles selected from the group consisting of amorphous silica, silica containing material or particles comprising an inert core material having an amorphous silica coating or a silica containing coating; said shaped particles being surface-coated with a two-dimensional conducting network of antimony-containing tin oxide crystallites in which the antimony content ranges from about 1-30% by weight of the tin oxide crystallites.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
20 words
The composition of claim 1 in which the shaped particles are hollow shells of amorphous silica or a silica-containing material.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
34 words
The composition of claim 1 in which the silica-containing material is a composition selected from the group consisting of metal silicates, silica-containing glass, and material having an extensive co-valent network involving SiO 4 units.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
15 words

Claim 6
Dependent Claim
16 words

Claim 7
Dependent Claim
14 words
The composition of claim 1 in which the crosslinkable resin is an epoxy-amine adduct.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
13 words
The composition of claim 1 in which the crosslinker is a blocked polyisocyanate.
