Abstract: To treat an iron-based, zinc-based, and an aluminumbased surfaces etc. with zinc phosphate using the same solution, a treating solution is adjusted in concentrations so as to contain a simple fluoride in a range of 200.about.500 mg/l upon converting into a HF concentration and to contain a fluoride complex in a range shown in the following formula; ##EQU1## and also, it is adjusted in an active fluorine concentration so as to be 15.about.130 .mu.A at a value indicated by a silicon electrode meter. Instead of such adjusting, aluminum ions in the treating solution is precipitated in an outside of a treating bath to separate them from the treating solution and then, this treating solution may be returned in to the treating bath.

Abstract: The invention relates to formation of a resin film excellent in adhesion with metal or other material and also excellent in alkaline resistance. The invention presents a water-based resin dispersion having an acid value of 0 to 15 obtained by emulsion polymerization of a monomer mixture comprising, in 100 parts by weight of .alpha.,.beta.-ethylenically unsaturated monomer, (1) 1 to 20 parts by weight of .alpha.,.beta.-ethylenically unsaturated monomer with a .beta.-ketoester group, (2) 0.05 to 5 parts by weight of crosslinking .alpha.,.beta.-ethylenically unsaturated monomer with two or more radically polymerizable groups, and (3) the rest of other .alpha.,.beta.-ethylenically unsaturated monomer than (1) and (2), by using a radically polymerizable emulsifier at a ratio of 0.2 to 10 parts by weight against the total of 100 pats by weight of the .alpha.,.beta.-ethylenically unsaturated monomer.

Abstract: The present inventin concerns a process for phosphating a metal surface comprising treating a metal surface with an acidic aqueous phosphate solution comprising zinc ion, phosphate ion, a phosphating accelerator and particular concentration of colloidal particles having an isoelectric point of 3 or less and an average particle diameter of 0.1.mu. or less, the metal surface being iron-based surface, zinc-based surface or combination thereof and the resulted phosphate coating being excellent in film adhesion, corrosion resistance and especially scab corrosion resistance.

Abstract: A zinc phosphate film on a metal surface is used as a surface-protecting film and an under coating film for coating and so on. The zinc phosphate film is formed by treating a metal surface with an aqueous zinc phosphate solution. The aqueous zinc phosphate solution includes solutions containing a zinc ion in a concentration of more than 2 g/l to 20 g/l, a phosphate ion in a concentration of 5 g/l to 40 g/l, and at least one of silicotungstic acid and a silicotungstate in a concentration of 0.005 g/l to 20 g/l measured in terms of tungsten content.

Instead of such adjusting aluminum ions in the treating solution is precipitated in an outside of a treating bath to separate them from the treating solution and then, this treating solution may be returned into the treating bath.

Abstract: A process for phosphating the surfaces of iron-based metals, zinc-based metals or combination of such surfaces by treating the metal surfaces with an aqueous acidic zinc-phosphating solution comprising from about 0.1 to about 200 g/l of zinc ion, from about 5 to about 40 g/l of phosphate ion, from about 0.01 to 20.0 g/l as tungsten of soluble tungsten compound and a conversion coating accelerator. The metal surfaces thus phosphated with the solution are suitable for electrocoating.

Abstract: Disclosed is a surface treating agent which improves the adhesive properties between a metal surface and a paint layer thereon. The surface treating agent is an acidic aqueous solution comprising zinc ions, nickel ions and phosphate ions, characterized by adding a cyclic metaphosphate thereto in the form of(MPO.sub.3).sub.n wherein M represents a metal atom and n isan integer of at least 4 in a concentration of 20 to 600 mg/l.

Abstract: The present invention provides a method of controlling an electrocoating bath using an ion exchange resin. The ion exchange resin is maintained in a porous container in a suspended state in the electrocoating bath, and is used in a quantity of not more than the chemical equivalent of excess counter-ion to be removed from the bath. Bath control is easily achieved without any coagulation trouble as often observed in conventional column methods.
