Definitions

• the present invention relates to the use of quaternary ammonium salts containing non- halogen anions such as carbonate, bicarbonate, phosphate and glycolate as active ingredients of conversion coatings and as additives for paints and coatings.
• Examples of metals prone to corrosion are found in stamped metal car parts made from ferrous alloys, abraded surfaces such as machined steel parts, and machine components made from cast iron.
• Conversion coatings are used to inhibit corrosion and to assure good adhesion of paint to a metal surface, in particular to steel. Bare steel does not form a good bond with organic coatings.
• chromate or phosphate conversion coatings are chemically reacted with the steel to form a rough surface structure with metal- phosphate platelets that provide both mechanical and chemical keying (adhesion) of the organic polymer to the metal surface. See, for example, Watson, J. "A refresher: Understanding pretreatment", Powder Coating 1996, 7(3) and Ferguson, D.; Monzyk, B., “Nonpolluting replacement for chromate conversion coating and zinc phosphate in powder coating applications", Powder Coating 2001, 72(7).
• a conversion coating is to be understood to mean a protective barrier film or layer on the metal substrate surface simultaneously capable of both corrosion inhibition and paint adhesion and comprised of either (i) an organic film, (ii) an inorganic oxide resulting from a metal etching and redeposition process, (iii) an inorganic oxide resulting from a true deposition process, or (iv) any mixture of inorganic and organic materials from (i), (ii) and (iii).
• the most widely used conversion coatings are chromating, phosphochromating and zinc phosphatizing processes. It is believed that chromating gives better corrosion inhibition, while phosphochromating gives better paint adhesion.
• the metal surface Prior to applying the conversion coating to the metal surface, the metal surface must be cleaned in order to remove any grease on the metal surface.
• the conversion coating can then be applied by either immersion or spraying. Chromate and phosphochromate conversion coatings are the most common chemical conversion coatings, but because of health, safety and environmental concerns other types of conversion coatings are needed.
• quaternary ammonium salts containing non-halogen anions such bicarbonate, carbonate, phosphate and glycolate, more specifically, dialkyl dimethyl ammonium salts containing bicarbonate, carbonate, phosphate or glycolate as the anion, and various combinations thereof, have applicability as a conversion coating for metal surfaces and steel in particular. Additionally it has been discovered that said quaternaries are capable of effecting a desirable surface transformation such as the growth of desirable surface oxides (i.e. magnetite, Fe 3 O 4 ) on steel substrates. This oxide formation results in distinct crystallite domains which adhere to the metal substrate and to which coatings such as paints are expected to exhibit improved adhesion. In addition, said quaternary ammonium salts can be added directly to paints to provide better adhesion of the paint to the metal surface and thereby improving corrosion resistance.
• desirable surface transformation such as the growth of desirable surface oxides (i.e. magnetite, Fe 3 O 4 ) on steel substrates. This oxide formation results in distinct crystallite domain
• the unique nature of the above quaternary ammonium salts allows for a one step metal surface preparation process prior to final coating applications. It has been found that metal exposure to their solutions will simultaneously clean, corrosion inhibit, and primer coat metal surfaces in preparation for final coating applications. This represents a significant improvement over current processes which perform the following independent functions in a stepwise fashion and with significantly greater amounts of industrial effluents which must be disposed of: a) the raw metal is passivated with oil to prevent flash rust. b) the passivation oil is removed and disposed of c) the metal surface is treated with conversion coating solutions (acidic, heavy metal containing chemicals) and cured before the final coating is applied. It has also been found that steel surfaces treated according to the present invention are resistant to flash rusting. Flash rusting occurs when a newly formed bare steel surface is exposed to water and reacts to form a red iron hydroxide rust layer.
• Coiled sheet steel treated with according to the present invention is resistant to the edge staining that occurs when moisture condenses on the edges of the coils.
• steel sheet is sprayed with a light oil prior to storage or transportation. This oil must be removed prior to additional surface treatments or coatings.
• the oxide film formed in according to the present invention has the potential of being an under-paint conversion coating or primer for steel. Bare steel does not form a good bond with organic coatings. To improve the metal/organic coating bond, chromate or phosphate conversion coatings are chemically reacted with the steel to form a rough surface structure with metal-phosphate platelets that provide both mechanical and chemical keying (adhesion) of the organic polymer to the metal surface.
• the conversion coatings and anticorrosive paints of the present invention exhibit certain self-healing properties on scratching, which means that even the "bare" metal surface in a scratch shows some passivation that may be due to migration of the quaternary ammonium salt from the surrounding coating. In some cases, a permanent oxide transformation is also observed resulting in long term passivation of a scratched area. This is an effect that is similar to the self-healing observed on chromium coated metal surfaces.
