  • Patent number: 5082698
    Abstract: This invention relates to aqueous epoxy resin-containing compositions and to such compositions which are particularly useful for depositing coatings on metallic substrates in order to protect substrates against corrosion. The aqueous compositions generally comprise (A) an organic resin component consisting essentially of at least one water-dispersible or emulsifiable epoxy resin or a mixture of resins containing more than 50% by weight of at least one water-dispersible or emulsifiable epoxy resin, (B) chromium trioxide, and (C) water, said composition further characterized as being substantially free of strontium chromate. The aqueous compositions may also contain other ingredients including zinc and/or ferro alloys.These aqueous compositions are useful as pretreatment coatings on metal surfaces, and in particular, on steel and on galvanized and aluminized metal substrates.
