Abstract: A cathodic electrodeposition paint containing as a binder resin an amine-epoxy resin adduct and a blocked polyisocyanate crosslinker is disclosed. The binder resin and the crosslinker are emulsified in an aqueous medium containing a neutralizing agent with the aid of amine adduct of a monoepoxide compound having a hydrophobic group or block. Not only the amine-monoepoxide adduct functions as a surfactant but also it is deposited electrically and then cured with the crosslinker integrally with the binder resin.

Abstract: Cathodic electrodeposition paints are rendered hardly susceptible to oil droplet-induced craters by incorporating an amine-modified acrylic copolymer of t-butyl (meth)acrylate with a hydroxyl group-containing monomer and an oxirane ring-containing monomer in the form of an aqueous emulsion. The amine-modified acrylic copolymer may be an adduct with a half blocked organic diisocyanate. The paint gives a cured film substantially free from oil droplet-induced craters and having a good adhesion to an overcoating and a good surface smoothness.

Abstract: Oxazolidone ring-containing epoxy resins (a) produced by the reaction between a diglycidyl ether or ester and an organic diisocyanate are reacted with (b) a first active hydrogen compound such as mono- or diols, mono- or dicarboxylic acids in less than a stoichiometric amount in terms of the active hydrogen atom relative to the epoxy group, and then with (c) a second active hydrogen compound such as amines or sulfide-acid mixtures or polycarboxylic acids in a stoichiometric amount relative to the remaining epoxy group. The resulting hydrophilic modified resin has an oxazolidone ring-containing backbone terminated with an ionizable group. A water-borne paints are formulated from the hydrophilic modified resin by dispersing in an aqueous medium containing a crosslinker and a neutralizing agent.
