## 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.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A coating composition which is cathodically deposited when used in an electrodeposition process comprising as the coating binder, an aqueous emulsion of 98 to 50 percent by weight of at least one self-crosslinking cationic binder based on a modified epoxy compound, water-dilutable upon partial or total neutralization with inorganic and/or organic acids, and 2 to 50 percent by weight of a urethane of the general formula ##STR4## 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 member of the group consisting of an aliphatic monoalcohol with at least 6 carbon atoms, an alkyl radical with at least 6 carbon atoms, and an alkylene radical with at least 6 carbon atoms; and n is an integer of 1 or 2.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The coating composition of claim 1 wherein the aqueous emulsion is from 95 to 70 percent by weight of the water-dilutable resin and from 5 to 30 percent by weight of the non-water-soluble urethane.

### Claim 3 (depends on 2)

The coating composition of claim 2 including at least one member of the group consisting of pigments, extenders, and hardening components.

### Claim 4 (depends on 2)

The coating composition of claim 2 wherein the water-dilutable resin is the reaction product of a diepoxide with alpha, beta-unsaturated acids and a basic monoisocyanate.

### Claim 5 (depends on 2)

The coating composition of claim 2 wherein the water-dilutable resin is the reaction product of a diepoxide with a mono-amine and an unsaturated monoisocyanate.

### Claim 6 (depends on 2)

The coating composition of claim 2 wherein the water-dilutable resin is the reaction product of 2 moles of a diepoxy compound, 1 mole of a primary-tertiary or secondary-secondary diamine, 2 moles of an alpha, beta-unsaturated monocarboxylic acid, and an unsaturated monoisocyanate.

### Claim 7

The process of providing coating compositions which will cathodically deposit when used in an electrodeposition process including emulsifying 98 to 50 percent by weight of at least one self-crosslinking cationic binder based on a modified epoxy compound, water-dilutable upon partial or total neutralization with inorganic and/or organic acids, and 2 to 50 percent by weight of a urethane of the general formula ##STR5## 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 member of the group consisting of an aliphatic monoalcohol with at least 6 carbon atoms, an alkyl radical with at least 6 carbon atoms, and an alkylene radical with at least 6 carbon atoms; and n is an integer of 1 or 2.
