Cathodically depositable coating compositions for electrodeposition (II)

Abstract

Heat curable, cathodically depositable, aqueous coating compositions comprising an aqueous emulsion of 98 to 50 percent by weight, preferably 95 to 70 percent by weight, of one or more self-crosslinking cationic binders based on modified epoxy compounds, water-soluble upon partial or total neutralization with an inorganic or organic acid, and 2 to 50 percent by weight, preferably 5 to 30 percent by weight, of a di- and/or triurethane having the formula - ##STR1## wherein R represents an aromatic, cycloaliphatic, or aliphatic hydrocarbon radical; R.sub.1 stands for a hydroxyethyl(meth)acrylate or a hydroxypropyl(meth)acrylate radical; R.sub.2 is the radical of a saturated and/or unsaturated aliphatic monoalcohol with at least 6 carbon atoms and/or an alkyl or alkylene radical with at least 6 carbon atoms, and n is an integer of 1 or 2. The coating compositions cure at low temperatures and short curing times to provide films having excellent resistance to water, chemicals, and corrosion; and have good leveling characteristics and good adherence to diverse substrates.
