Abstract
Polyepoxide resins are reacted in approximately equivalent ratios with primary amines to form cationic resinous compositions. The primary amine is a mixture of an aliphatic monoamine and an aliphatic diamine which contains one primary amine group and one tertiary amine group. The resinuous reaction products can be salted with an acid and can be dissolved or dispersed in water. The aqueous dispersions or solutions can then be formulated into primer coatings for metal objects.
Claims8
A soluble and fusible resinous composition comprising the reaction product of
- (A) a polyepoxide resin derived from a dihydric phenol or a dihydric alcohol and an epihalohydrin, said polyepoxide resin having a 1,2-epoxide equivalent weight of about 150 to about 300;
- and
- (B) an amine mixture of
- (1) an aliphatic monoamine containing about 8 to about 18 carbon atoms, one primary amine group and no other groups reactive with epoxy groups, and
- (2) an aliphatic diamine containing one primary amine group and one tertiary amine group and no other groups reactive with epoxide groups
- wherein the molar ratio of (1) and (2) in the mixture varies from about 2:1 to about 1:3,
- wherein A and B are reacted in the mol ratio of 10:9 to 9:10 and wherein A is added to B at a reaction temperature of about 50.degree. C. to about 150.degree. C. at an addition rate which does not substantially exceed the epoxy-amine reaction rate.
