  • Patent number: 4581294
    Abstract: The heat-hardenable binder mixture based on organic resins comprises an organic resin having primary and/or secondary and, if appropriate, also additional tertiary amino groups and a cross-linking agent based on an organic compound containing at least 2 carbalkoxymethyl groups. The binder mixture can additionally contain pigments, fillers, cross-linking catalysts, corrosion inhibitors and further finish auxiliaries. The binder mixture is used in a process for preparing coatings by applying a coating agent in the form of a film to a substrate and subsequently hardening the film by baking.

  • Patent number: 4547409
    Abstract: The invention relates to a self-crosslinking heat-curable binder, in particular for electropaints, which is based on an organic synthetic resin which contains primary and/or secondary and, if desired, also tertiary amino groups and esterified carboxyl groups and is water-dilutable due to partial or complete neutralization with acids. The esterified carboxyl groups are activated in the alcohol component by a substituent which induces a negative inductive effect.

  • Patent number: 4539218
    Abstract: The invention relates to a synthetic resin based on an acrylate copolymer containing epoxide groups and having a number average molecular weight of 1,000 to 30,000. The acrylate copolymer comprises (a) 20 to 90% by weight of an alkyl acrylate having 1 to 18 carbon atoms in the alkyl radical and/or a methacrylate having 1 to 20 carbon atoms in the alkyl radical, (b) 5 to 40% by weight of a hydroxyalkyl acrylate and/or methacrylate and (c) 5 to 40% by weight of glycidyl acrylate and/or methacrylate and/or one other olefinically unsaturated, polymerizable compound carrying an epoxide group, the total amount of components a, b and c being 100%. The hydroxyl groups of the acrylate copolymer have been reacted before or after the copolymerization was carried out at least partially with a partially blocked diisocyanate and/or polyisocyanate.
