Zinciferous-plated steel sheet is used in a broad range of:,, ' ' Ia, extending over the automotive, building material, and household electrical appliance sect-ors.

These problems are generally solved by subjecting the surface of zincifer-ous-plated steel sheet to a chromate treatment with a treatment bath whose main 20 CUI I I,UUI It~l Ita are chromic acid, dichromic acid, or a salt thereof. This treatment produces a highly corrosion-resistant and strongly paint-adherent chromate film.Unfortunately, the 11 . .

Disclosure of the Invention Problems to Be Solved by the Invention The present invention takes as its object the introduction of a chromium-free surface treatment agent that solves the problems described above for the s prior art by simultaneously providing the excellent corrosion resistance and ex-cellent paint adl ~ required for zinciferous-plated steel sheet.
Summary of the Invention A coating having both a high conrosion resistance and a strong paint ad-herence can be produced by treating the su~face of zinciferous-plated steel sheet with a surface treatment agent that contains a particular type of silane coupling agent and at least one selection from polyhydroxyaryl carboxylic acids and dep-sides of polyhydroxyaryl carboxylic acids. The invention was achieved based on this finding.
In specific temms, the surface treatment agent according to the inYention for zinciferous-plated steel sheet ~,1 Idl a~ l ialiwll y comprises, preferably consists essentially of, or more preferably consists of, water and the following essential c~" ,~u"~"ts.
(A) a cc " ,,vu"-;"l selected from the group consisting of polyhydroxyaryl car- boAylicacidsanddepsidesofpol~,"dlvA~a,ylcarboxylicacids;and 20 . (B) a cc", ,~,u, ,~"t selected from the group consisting of silane coupling agents with the following general formula (1):
(YR)mR~SiX(~m~) in which R denotes an alkyl group, which may be the same or different from one of the m YR and the n R moieties to another; X denotes a meth-2s OXy or ethoxy moiety; Y denotes a moiety selected from the group consist-ing of vinyl, amino, mercapto, glycidoxy, and methacryloxy moieties, which may be the same or different from one of the m YR moieties to an-other; m is an integer with a value from 1 to 3; and n is an integer with a value of û to (3-m); and optionally, one or more of:

It is preferred, furthemmore, that the total content of essential cu,,,,uul ,~"~(A) and (B) in the surface treatment agent according to the invention should be 1 to 5û weight %.
Detailed Description of the Invention 6 Zinciferous-plated steel which can be treated with the surface treatment agent of the invention ~, IWIIIIJdS:~eS steel coated with zinc or a zinc alloy, for ex-ample, ZnlFe alloy, Zn/Ni alloy, ZnlAI alloy, and the like.
Polyhydroxyaryl carboxylic acids usable by the present invention must have st least two hydroxyl substituents and at least one cdrboxyl substituent on~ a single aromatic nucleus. Such acids are cz~:, ", ~ by gallic acid, protocate-chuic acid, ~, " IJO;CJ I;- acid, and the like. Suitable as the depsides of polyhy-droxyaryl csrboxylic acids are, for example, meta-digallic acid, trigallic acid, diplo-schistesic acid, tannin, tannic acid, and so forth. The tannin used in the present invention is a general term for substances ~LItn,~dL~l~ by hot water from the ~s seeds, fruits, shells, leaves, roots, wood, and bark of plants and able to convert raw animal hides into leather. Tannic acid is the tannin obtained from Chinese or Turkish nutgall, etc. The type and quantity of addition of these substances is not critical.
Any silane coupling agent that has a chemical stnucture with general form-ula (1) may be used in the present invention. For example, compounds from the following groups (a) - (c) can be used and are generally preferred (a) glycidoxy-functional silane couDling agents e.g., 3-glycidoxypropyl trimethoxy silane 3-glycidoxypropyl methyl dimethoxy silane 2b 2-(3,4-epoxycyclohexyl)ethyl trimethoxy silane (b) amino-functional silane couplin~ a~ents e.g, N-(2-aminoethyl)-3-~",i"o~,u~yl methyl dimethoxy silane N-(2-aminoethyl)-3-d, llil lù~l u~yl trimethoxy silane 3-dlllillUplU~Jyl triethoxy silane 30 (C) mercspto-functional silane coupling agents e.g., 3-lll_l-,d,UlUUlUI yl trimethoxy silane.
WO9~/21277 ~8~ p ~ "
No specific ~a~ri,,ti~" "~ apply to the content of these silane coupling agents in the surface treatment agent.
The surFace treatment agent of the invention may in general be prepared by dissolving or dispersing the drVI ~11It:l I~iUI ,ed essential cc " ,,uu"~ a in water.
s Vvhile the total w"w, I~ dliUI, of the essential cul, ,,uul~, lla is not ~,v~,iri~.~y re-stricted, the sum of the ,~"w"t~ iu, la of the essential Cv"~pO~ l ,ta, i.e., silane coupling agent + polyhydroxyaryl carboxylic acid(s) and/or depside(s) of polyhy-droxyaryl carboxylic acid(s) is preferably 1 to 5û weight %. When the total amount of these essential wn ,,vul~ a falls below 1 weight %, the treated zincif-0 erous-plated steel sheet wili not always exhibit the good corrosion resistance that is the goal of the present invention. On the other hand, a total amount of essen-tial ~" ,,uu"t" lla in excess of 5û weight % is ~ co"u" liCdl because no furtherimprovement in corrosion resistanr,e is obtained for the treated zinciferous-plated steel sheet at such values. The weisht ratio between subject essential compon-ents is preferably {polyhydroxyaryl carboxylic acid(s) and/or depside(s) thereof~:
{silane coupling agent} = 10: 1 to 1: 2, or preferably 10: 1 to 1: 1.
The surface treatment agent according to the invention may contain addi-tives in addition to the essential cu,,,,vu"~"~s already discussed ab~ve. Metal ions may be added in order to improve the insolubility of the treated zinciferous-20 plated steel sheet. Metal ions usable for this purpose are ~ d by iron, nickel""d"~,d,~ese, cobalt, zinc, aluminum, calcium, and magnesium ions, with zinc and magnesium ions being particularly preferred. In addition, a reaction ac-celerator may be added in order to accelerate the reaction with the surface of the zinciferous-plated steel sheet. Preferred for use as this reaction d~elt:l are, 2s for example, phosphate ions, nitrate ions, fluoride ions, and organic acids other than those that are part of cu~,uul)elll (A). Fluoride ions are particularly preferred as the reaction dccel~ v, . Finally, no particular, c:a~ ,liv, 15 apply to the sources of the ions and quantities of addition for the described additives.
An additive that is generally preferred is optional av",po"e"~ (C) as de-30 saibed above, of which methanol is the most preferred ~" ,uovi" ,t:"I. Independ-ently, a w"w, It~ " , of optional w",,uu"el~ (C) in the range from 1 to 30, more WO 95/21277 2 1 8 2 3 g ~ "
preferably 5 to 15, or still more preferably 9 to 11, weight % is preferred in the treatment cc " ,,uu~itiu, ,~ according to the invention.
No particular restriction obtains on the method for treating 2inciferous-plat-ed steel sheet using the surface treatment agent of the invention, and, for ex-6 ample, immersion, spray, and roll coating methods are ~ ' ' Nor is thetreatment temperature or treatment time crucial, but in general the treatment temperature is preferably 1 û C to 4û C and the treatment time is preferably 0.1 to 1 û seconds.
anciferous-plated steel sheet treated with the surface treatment agent of o the invention exhibits both an excellent corrosion resistance and an excellent paint adherence. In regard to the improved corrosion resistance, the polyhydrox-yaryl carboxylic acid or depside thereof in the treatment agent is believed to react wffl the 2inc to form a protective coating on the surface of the zinciferous-plated steel sheet. This protective coating then would prevent the infiltration of corros-s ive substanr~es, thus yielding the improved corrosion resistance. The improvedpaint adherence is believed to occur as the result of a~au, ,u~;~,,, of the functional groups in the silane coupling agent to the surface of the zinciferous-plated steel sheet.
The invention is explained in greater detail below through working examp-20 les, which, however, should not be construed as placing particular limits on thescope of the invention.

Disclosure of the Invention Problems to Be Solved by the Invention The present invention takes as its object the introduction of a chromium-free surface treatment agent that solves the problems described above for the s prior art by simultaneously providing the excellent corrosion resistance and ex-cellent paint adl ~ required for zinciferous-plated steel sheet.
Summary of the Invention A coating having both a high conrosion resistance and a strong paint ad-herence can be produced by treating the su~face of zinciferous-plated steel sheet with a surface treatment agent that contains a particular type of silane coupling agent and at least one selection from polyhydroxyaryl carboxylic acids and dep-sides of polyhydroxyaryl carboxylic acids. The invention was achieved based on this finding.
In specific temms, the surface treatment agent according to the inYention for zinciferous-plated steel sheet ~,1 Idl a~ l ialiwll y comprises, preferably consists essentially of, or more preferably consists of, water and the following essential c~" ,~u"~"ts.

Detailed Description of the Invention 6 Zinciferous-plated steel which can be treated with the surface treatment agent of the invention ~, IWIIIIJdS:~eS steel coated with zinc or a zinc alloy, for ex-ample, ZnlFe alloy, Zn/Ni alloy, ZnlAI alloy, and the like.
Polyhydroxyaryl carboxylic acids usable by the present invention must have st least two hydroxyl substituents and at least one cdrboxyl substituent on~ a single aromatic nucleus. Such acids are cz~:, ", ~ by gallic acid, protocate-chuic acid, ~, " IJO;CJ I;- acid, and the like. Suitable as the depsides of polyhy-droxyaryl csrboxylic acids are, for example, meta-digallic acid, trigallic acid, diplo-schistesic acid, tannin, tannic acid, and so forth. The tannin used in the present invention is a general term for substances ~LItn,~dL~l~ by hot water from the ~s seeds, fruits, shells, leaves, roots, wood, and bark of plants and able to convert raw animal hides into leather. Tannic acid is the tannin obtained from Chinese or Turkish nutgall, etc. The type and quantity of addition of these substances is not critical.
Any silane coupling agent that has a chemical stnucture with general form-ula (1) may be used in the present invention. For example, compounds from the following groups (a) - (c) can be used and are generally preferred (a) glycidoxy-functional silane couDling agents e.g., 3-glycidoxypropyl trimethoxy silane 3-glycidoxypropyl methyl dimethoxy silane 2b 2-(3,4-epoxycyclohexyl)ethyl trimethoxy silane (b) amino-functional silane couplin~ a~ents e.g, N-(2-aminoethyl)-3-~",i"o~,u~yl methyl dimethoxy silane N-(2-aminoethyl)-3-d, llil lù~l u~yl trimethoxy silane 3-dlllillUplU~Jyl triethoxy silane 30 (C) mercspto-functional silane coupling agents e.g., 3-lll_l-,d,UlUUlUI yl trimethoxy silane.
WO9~/21277 ~8~ p ~ "
No specific ~a~ri,,ti~" "~ apply to the content of these silane coupling agents in the surface treatment agent.
The surFace treatment agent of the invention may in general be prepared by dissolving or dispersing the drVI ~11It:l I~iUI ,ed essential cc " ,,uu"~ a in water.
s Vvhile the total w"w, I~ dliUI, of the essential cul, ,,uul~, lla is not ~,v~,iri~.~y re-stricted, the sum of the ,~"w"t~ iu, la of the essential Cv"~pO~ l ,ta, i.e., silane coupling agent + polyhydroxyaryl carboxylic acid(s) and/or depside(s) of polyhy-droxyaryl carboxylic acid(s) is preferably 1 to 5û weight %. When the total amount of these essential wn ,,vul~ a falls below 1 weight %, the treated zincif-0 erous-plated steel sheet wili not always exhibit the good corrosion resistance that is the goal of the present invention. On the other hand, a total amount of essen-tial ~" ,,uu"t" lla in excess of 5û weight % is ~ co"u" liCdl because no furtherimprovement in corrosion resistanr,e is obtained for the treated zinciferous-plated steel sheet at such values. The weisht ratio between subject essential compon-ents is preferably {polyhydroxyaryl carboxylic acid(s) and/or depside(s) thereof~:
{silane coupling agent} = 10: 1 to 1: 2, or preferably 10: 1 to 1: 1.
The surface treatment agent according to the invention may contain addi-tives in addition to the essential cu,,,,vu"~"~s already discussed ab~ve. Metal ions may be added in order to improve the insolubility of the treated zinciferous-20 plated steel sheet. Metal ions usable for this purpose are ~ d by iron, nickel""d"~,d,~ese, cobalt, zinc, aluminum, calcium, and magnesium ions, with zinc and magnesium ions being particularly preferred. In addition, a reaction ac-celerator may be added in order to accelerate the reaction with the surface of the zinciferous-plated steel sheet. Preferred for use as this reaction d~elt:l are, 2s for example, phosphate ions, nitrate ions, fluoride ions, and organic acids other than those that are part of cu~,uul)elll (A). Fluoride ions are particularly preferred as the reaction dccel~ v, . Finally, no particular, c:a~ ,liv, 15 apply to the sources of the ions and quantities of addition for the described additives.
An additive that is generally preferred is optional av",po"e"~ (C) as de-30 saibed above, of which methanol is the most preferred ~" ,uovi" ,t:"I. Independ-ently, a w"w, It~ " , of optional w",,uu"el~ (C) in the range from 1 to 30, more WO 95/21277 2 1 8 2 3 g ~ "
preferably 5 to 15, or still more preferably 9 to 11, weight % is preferred in the treatment cc " ,,uu~itiu, ,~ according to the invention.
No particular restriction obtains on the method for treating 2inciferous-plat-ed steel sheet using the surface treatment agent of the invention, and, for ex-6 ample, immersion, spray, and roll coating methods are ~ ' ' Nor is thetreatment temperature or treatment time crucial, but in general the treatment temperature is preferably 1 û C to 4û C and the treatment time is preferably 0.1 to 1 û seconds.
anciferous-plated steel sheet treated with the surface treatment agent of o the invention exhibits both an excellent corrosion resistance and an excellent paint adherence. In regard to the improved corrosion resistance, the polyhydrox-yaryl carboxylic acid or depside thereof in the treatment agent is believed to react wffl the 2inc to form a protective coating on the surface of the zinciferous-plated steel sheet. This protective coating then would prevent the infiltration of corros-s ive substanr~es, thus yielding the improved corrosion resistance. The improvedpaint adherence is believed to occur as the result of a~au, ,u~;~,,, of the functional groups in the silane coupling agent to the surface of the zinciferous-plated steel sheet.
The invention is explained in greater detail below through working examp-20 les, which, however, should not be construed as placing particular limits on thescope of the invention.
