Abstract: Cataphoretic electrodeposition baths for coating ferrous metal articles, particularly untreated ferrous metal articles, are disclosed. The baths comprise aqueous dispersions of cationic electrodepositable resins and lead ions which are introduced into said bath by the addition of water-soluble lead compounds. Coatings electrodeposited on ferrous metal articles from such baths have excellent corrosion resistance.

Abstract: A quaternary ammonium group-containing material which is obtained from reacting a polyepoxide with an amine containing at least one acyclic group of about 8 to 30 carbon atoms and optionally an amine containing an alkylarylpoly ether moiety is disclosed. The resins are useful as pigment grinding vehicles and in the formulation of pigment paste, particularly pigment paste with high pigment loadings. When formulated into cationic electrodepositable compositions, the pigment grinding vehicles provide for cured electrodeposited coatings of excellent corrosion resistance, particularly over untreated and oily steel.

Abstract: Novel, chain-extended adducts formed from reacting high molecular weight polyepoxides and polyester polyols containing at least two alcoholic, primary hydroxyls per molecule are disclosed. The chain-extended polyepoxides are adducted with a secondary amine and made dispersible in water with acid. The water-dispersed resins can be applied to a wide variety of substrates by cationic electrodeposition. When compared to resins which are not chain extended, the resins of the invention have higher rupture voltages, improved film-forming properties and deposit as films with improved flexibility.

Abstract: The pH, dispersibility and throw power of amine group-solubilized, epoxy resin-derived, cationic electrodepositable resins can be enhanced by the incorporation of primary amine groups into the resin molecule. The primary amine groups are incorporated by reacting certain polyamine compounds in which the primary amine groups are blocked by ketimine groups into the acid solubilizable, amine group-containing electrodepositable resins derived from epoxy group-containing resins.
