Abstract:
Pigment dispersion resins for use in cathodic electrocoat paint systems are the reaction products of (A) the reaction product of an aromatic diglycidyl ether and a bis-aryl alcohol or aromatic diol; (B) a primary amine which includes a diamine, an amino alcohol, an aminopolyalkoxy alcohol, a fatty amine, or any mixture thereof; and (C) a monoepoxide. In one embodiment, the fatty amine is provided in an effective amount to eliminate the necessity of the inclusion of the monoepoxide.
Abstract:
Air-dry refinish primer compositions containing microparticles have been found to exhibit superior air-dry properties as well as being resistant to solvent attack when a primer-surfacer or topcoat is applied after a short (30 minute or less) dry time of the primer composition.

The electrocoating composition comprises a polycarbonate modified epoxy resin comprising the reaction product of i) a polyepoxide compound; ii) a polycarbonate diol; iii) optionally a compound having a functional group capable of reacting with component (i); and iv) an amine having at least one primary or one secondary amino group.
Abstract:
In a process for crosslinking a polymer, a beta -dicarbonyl functionality is present as a reactive diluent and/or as a reactive solvent and/or on a crosslinking entity. The beta -difunctional compound reacts with formaldehyde which is either released during the crosslinking reaction (or otherwise present) whereby less formaldehyde is released than would otherwise be released. The formaldehyde which reacts with the beta -dicarbonyl compound is either incorporated into the crosslinked polymer network or released in the form of a reaction product which is not as harmful to the environment as the unreacted formaldehyde. The process enables the reduction of formaldehyde release during crosslinking to levels otherwise unobtainable. Furthermore, the process enables a reduction in the amount of organic solvent utilized.
Abstract:
A two component composition suitable for coating a substrate comprises at least one crosslinker having a functionality thereon which is reactive with a functionality on at least one film forming polymer present in a separate component of the composition. The crosslinker comprises at least one member selected from the group consisting of: (1) an isocyanurate of isophorone diisocyanate; (2) a derivative of an isocyanurate of isophorone diisocyanate; (3) a biuret of isophorone diisocyanate; and (4) a derivative of a biuret of isophorone diisocyanate. The composition preferably comprises a blend of the crosslinker with a second crosslinker, wherein the second crosslinker is at least one member selected from the group consisting of: (1) an isocyanurate of hexamethylene diisocyanate; (2) a derivative of an isocyanurate of hexamethylene diisocyanate; (3) a biuret of hexamethylene diisocyanate; and (4) a derivative of a biuret of hexamethylene diisocyanate. The invention also pertains to a process for coating a substrate using the composition, as well as to a cured coating formed by the process of the present invention.
