Abstract: An aqueous coating composition comprising (A) at least one water-dispersible organic binder containing cationic groups and (B) 0.05%-10% by weight, based on the solids content of the aqueous coating composition, of a water-thinnable vinylpyrrolidone copolymer, where the vinylpyrrolidone copolymer (B) contains vinylpyrrolidone monomer units and vinyl acetate monomer units in a molar ratio of 0.3:0.7 to 0.7:0.3, preferably of 0.4:0.6 to 0.6:0.4 and possesses a weight-average molecular weight of less than 200 000 g/mol.

Abstract: The invention relates to an aqueous coating composition containing (A) at least one organic binder that can be dispersed in water and contains cationic groups, and (B) 0.05-10 wt. %, in relation to the solid body content of the aqueous coating composition, of a water-dilutable vinylpyrrolidone copolymer. Said vinylpyrrolidone copolymer (B) contains vinylpyrrolidone monomer units and vinylacetate monomer units in a molar ratio of 0.3:0.7-0.7:0.3, preferably 0.4:0.6-0.6:0.4 and has an average molecular weight of less than 200.000 g/mol.

Abstract: The invention relates to aqueous electrocoating paints which contain 2 to 10% by weight of an anticorrosive pigment based on zinc silicate in combination with 1 to 15% by weight of a very fine quartz powder or cristobalite powder coated with epoxysilane or aminosilane, the percentages by weight being based on the total solids content of the electrocoating paint and the anticorrosive pigment being preparable by fusing together 35 to 65% by weight of ZnO, 15 to 35% by weight of SiO.sub.2 and 0 to 20% by weight of B.sub.2 O.sub.3 and/or 0 to 20% by weight of WO.sub.3 and/or 0 to 20% by weight of MoO.sub.3 and/or 0 to 20% by weight of SnO.sub.2, the components being fused together using at least one of the cited oxides besides ZnO and SiO.sub.2 in such a manner that the percentages by weight always total 100.
