  • Curable coating compositions comprising self-crosslinkable components
    Patent number: 4983266
    Abstract: This invention relates to an electrodeposition process which comprises electrodepositing onto a conducting substrate a coating composition comprising a self-crosslinking polymeric resin which has an average of at least two pendent hydroxy functional groups and an average of at least two pendent ester groups of the general formula: ##STR1## wherein R.sup.1 and R.sup.2 are independently hydrogen, alkyl, substituted alkyl or aryl groups; n is from about 1 to about 5; X is nitrogen, sulfur or phosphorus; and when X is nitrogen or phosphorus, R.sup.3 is hydrogen, lower alkyl, or an aryl group; R.sup.4 is lower alkyl or an aryl group; and when X is sulfur, R.sup.4 is nothing and R.sup.3 is either hydrogen, lower alkyl or aryl.
