  • Patent number: 5407990
    Abstract: A composition for forming insulating films on electrical steel sheets includes a (meth)acrylate ester polymer, modified into a polymer containing an ethylenic unsaturated carboxylic acid component as an essential copolymerizable component, optionally with other copolymerizable vinylic compound components. The composition is used in the form of an aqueous emulsion with or without methacrylate ester base polymer powders. The composition has low expandability and coatability and provides an improved film. Especially when the composition contains methacrylate ester base polymer powders, improved weldability is achieved and high-quality coated steel sheet products are provided. A method of forming the insulating films is also described.

  • Patent number: 4844753
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for forming insulating films on electromagnetic steel plates.Conventional films obtained by coating only an inorganic component such as a chromate, forming an organic-component film on an inorganic-component film or coating a mixture of both components individually have had disadvantages such as the occurrence of crateriform pinholes, reductions in punching properties, rises in the cost and decreases in interlayer resistance and the like.The present invention provides a method wherein a composition obtained by combining an acrylic resin and/or an acryl-styrene resin and guanamine resin as the organic components with an inorganic substance composed mainly of a chromate is coated and dried on an electromagnetic steel plate to form thereon an insulating film.According to the present invention, it is possible to form an insulating film which has excellent film properties and is free from said disadvantages.
