Abstract
An improved aqueous electrocoating composition having a binder of an epoxy-amine adduct and a blocked polyisocyanate crosslinking agent; wherein the improvement is the use of an effective amount of an additive of an alkyl thioester or a polymeric product of an epoxy resin, polyalkylene glycol and a sugar to form an electrocoating composition that has significantly improved throwing power and provides a coating that has the necessary properties such as chip, solvent and corrosion resistance.
Claims11
An improved cathodic electrocoating composition comprising an aqueous carrier having dispersed therein a film forming binder comprising an epoxy-amine adduct and a blocked polyisocyanate crosslinking agent;
- and the improvement consisting essentially of the use of an effective amount of an additive of an alkyl thioester.
An improved cathodic electrocoating composition comprising an aqueous carrier having dispersed therein a film forming binder comprising an epoxy-amine adduct and a blocked polyisocyanate and the improvement comprises use of an additive of a polymeric product consisting essentially of an epoxy resin, polyethylene glycol and a sugar.
An improved method of preparing a cathodic electrocoating composition containing film forming binder comprising the following steps in any workable order:
- (a) preparing an epoxy-amine adduct;
- (b) preparing a blocked polyisocyanate crosslinking agent;
- (c) blending the epoxy amine adduct with the blocked polyisocyanate crosslinking agent;
- (d) neutralizing the epoxy-amine adduct with an organic acid to form an emulsion;
- (e) blending the emulsion with a pigment paste;
- and
- the improvement comprises use of an effective amount of an additive of polymeric product of an epoxy resin, polyalkylene glycol and sugar to provide the composition having improved throwing power.
