Abstract: The binders are reaction products of (A) adducts of ammonia or diamines and epoxide compounds with (B) partially or fully blocked diisocyanates or polyisocyanates, with or without (C) diamines or polyamines, the amino-.beta.-hydroxyalkyl groups of component (A) preferably having been reacted--prior to their reaction with component (B)--with a carbonyl compound, preferably an aldehyde, to form an oxazolidine ring. The reaction products are ultimately protonized with an acid.These binders are used for the cathodic electrocoating of metallically conductive articles.

Abstract: Polyadducts, free from epoxide groups, are obtained from ammonia and epoxide compounds by reacting 1 mole of ammonia with from 1.2 to 2.0 equivalents of epoxide, so that if diepoxide compounds are used products of the general formula (I) ##STR1## are obtained, while if triepoxides and/or tetraepoxide compounds are used, by themselves, or together with diepoxide compounds, products of the general formula II ##STR2## are produced; in these formulae, the E.sup.1 's are identical or different hydroxyl-containing divalent radicals and the E.sup.2 's are identical or different hydroxyl-containing trivalent or tetravalent radicals, resulting from the opening of the oxirane rings of epoxide compounds containing two, three or four epoxide groups in the molecule, n.sup.1, n.sup.3 and n.sup.5 are from 0 to 3, n.sup.2 and n.sup.4 are from 1 to 3 and X is 0 or 1, and one or more of the divalent radicals E.sup.1 in the general formula (II) may or may not be replaced by polyvalent radicals E.sup.2.

Abstract: Surface-coating binders and their use. The binders are reaction products of (A) Mannich bases obtained from one or more condensed phenols, free from ether groups, which contain two or more phenolic hydroxyl groups per molecule, one or more butadiene or isoprene homopolymers or copolymers which contain one or more ##STR1## groups per molecule and have a mean molecular weight of from 500 to 6,000, one or more secondary amines which contain one or more hydroxyalkyl groups per molecule, or a mixture of such secondary amines with another secondary amine, and formaldehyde or a formaldehyde donor, with (B) one or more epoxy resins. These surface-coating binders are used especially for the cathodic electrocoating of metal articles.

Abstract: The invention relates to surface-coating binders and to their use.The surface-coating binders, which are substantially free from epoxide groups, are based on a reaction product of (A) a Mannich base obtained from one or more polyhydric phenols which are free from ether groups and contain two or more aromatic rings, and/or one or more monohydric or polyhydric phenols which contain one or more ether groups and contain two or more aromatic rings, one or more secondary amines which contain one or two hydroxyalkyl groups and which may or may not be mixed with secondary dialkylamines or dialkoxyalkylamines, and formaldehyde or a formaldehyde donor, and (B) an epoxy resin, the reaction product of (A) and (B) additionally containing, built into its chemical structure, an olefinically unsaturated alkylphenol of the general formula (I) ##STR1## where R is a radical of 11 to 19 carbon atoms which contains from one to three carbon-carbon double bonds.
