Abstract: Electrodepositable coating compositions comprising an active hydrogen-containing ionic resin and a curing agent which contains blocked isocyanate groups and oxazolidone groups are disclosed. These coating compositions reduce the tendency of cured electrodeposited films to cause yellowing in subsequently applied topcoat systems. The use of these electrodepositable coating compositions in the process of electrodeposition is also disclosed.

Abstract: Single package, thermosetting epoxy resin-based coating compositions are provided which contain a polyepoxide and a curing agent system therefor which comprises an aromatic urea. At composition curing times and temperatures, the aromatic urea reacts with a portion of the polyepoxide to thereby form in situ a primary or secondary amine which can then function as a coreactive curing agent to complete the cure of the epoxy resin coating.

Abstract: Relatively water insoluble hydroxy functional monoethylenic polyethers or polyesters of monoethylenic carboxylic acids or hydroxy aklys esters thereof are formed by adducting the monoethylenic acid or its hydroxy ester with an anhydride selected from monoepoxides, lactones, or mixtures thereof in the presence of a Lewis acid catalyst, such as BF.sub.3 etherate, at a temperature below that at which the unsaturation is consumed, typically about 30.degree.-70.degree. C. These adducts are of low volatility and of low toxicity and can be radiation cured in admixture with polyacrylates to form coatings having improved resistance to elevated temperature exposure.
