Patent number: 5147729Abstract: The improved corrosion-resistant steel plate with an organic coating comprises a steel plate having a zinc or zinc alloy plate layer which is overlaid with a chromate film which in turn is coated with an organic resin paint film. The organic resin coat comprises an epoxy resin which is prepared by reacting with an isocyanate compound and has a dialkanolamine incorporated into its bisphenol A skeleton, and silica. The dialkanolamine combines with a urethane-modified epoxy resin to provide satisfactory curability at low temperatures; at the same time, it combines with the silica to provide a satisfactory film reinforcing effect. The organic coat formed of this composition can be effectively cured at low temperatures and yet it will neither dissolve nor soften upon swelling under the action of the alkali that is generated during cationic electrodeposition at the interface between the electrodeposited film and the organic coat.Type: GrantFiled: October 29, 1991Date of Patent: September 15, 1992Assignee: Kawasaki Steel CorporationInventors: Hideo Ogishi, Kenji Takao, Shigeru Umino, Koji Yamato
