The binders have been prepared by reacting(A) a synthetic resin containing epoxy groups with(B) at least one compound which, in addition to a mercapto group which is reactive toward epoxy groups, also possesses at least one ketimine group, and, if required,(C) other modifying compounds, such as, for example, monocarboxylic acids and/or other primary and/or secondary amines,and have then been neutralized with an acid.Type: GrantFiled: November 20, 1989Date of Patent: February 4, 1992Assignee: BASF Lacke & Farben AGInventors: Michael Geist, Klaus Cibura, Helmut Fobbe, Gunther Ott

Patent number: 5003025Abstract: The invention relates to water-dilutable binders for cationic electrocoating finishes. For the preparation of the binders, a di-epoxide compound, together with at least one mono-epoxide compound if desired, is converted by a polyaddition, carried out at 100.degree. to 195.degree. C. and initiated by a monofunctionally reacting initiator carrying either an alcoholic OH group, a phenolic OH group or an SH group, to form an epoxy resin which then subsequently is modified with(A) primary and/or secondary amines or their salts and/or the salt of a tertiary amine, a sulfide/acid mixture or a phosphine/acid mixture and with, if desired,(B) a polyfunctional alcohol, a polycarboxylic acid, a polysulfide or a polyphenol.Type: GrantFiled: December 20, 1989Date of Patent: March 26, 1991Assignee: BASF Lacke & Farben AktiengesellschaftInventors: Arnold Dobbelstein, Michael Geist, Gunther Ott, Georg Schon

Patent number: 5001175Abstract: The present invention is the reaction product of an aryl sulfonamide, at least one epoxy compounds comprising at least one diepoxy compound and optionally at least one monoepoxy compound. The diepoxy compound comprises two epoxy groups and the monoepoxy compound comprises one epoxy group. Preferably, the monoepoxy compound and the diepoxy compound have no hydroxyl groups or other functional groups. Specific embodiments include a reaction product derived from at least one monoepoxy compound and at least one diepoxy compound. The reaction product of the present invention has a relatively low molecular weight of from 450 to 2000, preferably 450 to 1000, and more preferably 450 to 800.Type: GrantFiled: April 11, 1989Date of Patent: March 19, 1991Assignee: Estron Chemical, Inc.Inventor: Stanislaw B.
