  • Patent number: 5429880
    Abstract: An organic composite coated steel sheet having a high cosmetic corrosion resistance and excellent image clarity which is desired on, for example, the outside of an outer plate forming an automobile body. The steel sheet has a chromate layer formed on the surface of a zinc or a zinc alloy plate steel sheet, and containing a specific weight of chromium, and an organic resin film formed on the chromate layer from a mixture in specific proportions of a blocked urethane-modified epoxy resin and a rust-preventing additive, and having a thickness of 0.2 to 2 microns. The resin is a mixture in specific proportions of a modified epoxy resin (A) which consists of an epoxy resin and a polyfunctional amine, and may further contain a monoisocyanate, or phosphoric acid, and a blocked urethane (B) which consists of a high molecular weight polyol having a molecular weight of 400 or more, a polyisocyanate and a blocking agent. A process for manufacturing the strip is also disclosed.

  • Patent number: 4970126
    Abstract: This invention relates to a highly corrosion-resistant, multi-layer coated steel sheet, and includes an undercoat film obtained by galvanization or zinc-alloy plating and a chromate coated film thereon, on which a resin-composition film is further applied, comprising an organic high-molecular weight resin having a glass transision temperature of 343.degree. to 423.degree. K. and soluble in organic solvent and hydrophobic silica.For the purpose of improvement of corrosion preventiveness, a sparingly water soluble Cr compound may be contained in this resin composition film. Together with this sparingly water soluble Cr compound, a di- or tri-alkoxysilane compound may be also contained in the resin composition film.

  • Patent number: 4889775
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a highly corrosion resistant surface-treated steel plate. The steel plate of the invention comprises a zinc deposition or zinc alloy deposition film as the undercoat deposition layer, a chromate film formed on the undercoat deposition layer and a film of a resin composition formed on the chromate film. This resin composition comprises a substrate resin formed by adding at least one basic nitogen atom and at least two primary hydrogen groups to terminal of an epoxy resin, silica and sparingly water soluble Cr compound. The resin composition may comprise a polyisocyanate compound as the curing agent. Moreover, the resin composition may comprise a silane compound as the crosslinking agent for the substrate resin and silica.

  • Patent number: 4775600
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a highly corrosion-resistant surface-treated steel plate. The steel plate of the present invention comprises a zinc deposition or zinc alloy deposition film as the undercoat deposition layer, a chromate film formed on the undercoat deposition layer and a film of a resin composition formed on the chromate film. This resin composition comprises a base resin formed by adding at least one basic nitrogen atom and at least two primary hydroxyl groups to terminals of an epoxy resin. The resin composition may comprise a polyisocyanate compound as the curing agent. Furthermore, the resin composition may comprise silica or a hardly soluble chromium compound as the additive for improving the corrosion resistance. Moreover, the resin composition may comprise a silane compound as the crosslinking agent for the base resin and silica.
