Definitions
- the present disclosure is directed towards an elec trodepo sitable coating composition, treated substrates and methods of coating substrates.
- Electrodeposition as a coating application method involves the deposition of a film-forming composition onto a conductive substrate under the influence of an applied electrical potential. Electrodeposition has gained popularity in the coatings industry because it provides higher paint utilization, outstanding corrosion resistance, and low environmental contamination as compared with non-electrophoretic coating methods. Both cationic and anionic electrodeposition processes are used commercially. An electrodepositable coating composition that provides crater control and edge coverage is desired.
- the present disclosure provides an electrodepositable coating composition
- an electrodepositable coating composition comprising (a) a hydroxy 1-functionalized branched polymerizate; (b) an ionic salt group- containing film-forming polymer different from the hydroxyl-functionalized branched polymerizate; and (c) a curing agent.
- the present disclosure also provides a method of coating a substrate comprising electrophoretically applying coating deposited from an electrodepositable coating composition comprising (a) a hydroxyl-functionalized branched polymerizate; (b) an ionic salt group- containing film-forming polymer different from the hydroxyl-functionalized branched polymerizate; and (c) a curing agent, onto at least a portion of the substrate.
- the present disclosure further provides a coating deposited from an electrodepositable coating composition comprising (a) a hydroxyl-functionalized branched polymerizate; (b) an ionic salt group-containing film- forming polymer different from the hydroxyl-functionalized branched polymerizate; and (c) a curing agent.

- the crosshatch test uses a scribing tool with teeth set 2 mm apart which cut the coating system down to metallic substrate. With two such perpendicular cuts, a “cross-hatch” results which is then tested with Scotch 898 tape. Failure constitutes loss of adhesion between the alkyd coating and the electrodeposited coating. Crosshatch adhesion results were tested on a scale of 0 to 10, with 0 being the worst and 10 being the best and are reported in the following table. A score of 0 indicates that the cured alkyd paint has been completely removed by the tape from within the scribed area.
- a score between 0 and 10 indicates that progressively less cured alkyd paint is removed by the tape from within the scribed area, paint being typically removed from the comers where two scribed lines intersect.
- a score of 10 indicates that there is no evidence of cured alkyd paint being removed by the tape from any of the corners where two scribed lines intersect.
- a rating of 9 or 10 is considered to be passing performance. As used herein, this test is referred to as the “WHITE ALKYD ADHESION TEST.” The results show that the comparative and experimental compositions performed similarly in the WHITE ALKYD AHEDION TEST while the experimental compositions still demonstrated improved performance in the crater control test above.

[0016] The molar ratio of alpha-olefin monomer to the hydroxyl-functional unsaturated monomer may be from 20: 1 to 1:20, or from 10: 1 to 1: 10, or from 8: 1 to 1:2.
[0017] The polymerization product may be obtained, for example, by subjecting a mixture of the alpha-olefin monomer, the hydroxyl-functional unsaturated monomer, and at least one polymerization initiator to reaction conditions sufficient to copolymerize the alpha-olefin monomer and the hydroxyl-functional unsaturated monomer. The reaction conditions are not limited so long as the monomers can react to form the polymerization product, and non-limiting exemplary processes are described below.
[0018] The polymerization product may be prepared via polymerization of an ethylenically unsaturated polymerizable monomer composition in a dispersing medium comprising water by techniques well known in the art. For example, the monomer composition may be dissolved or dispersed in water and subjected to addition polymerization conditions by heating in the presence of a free radical initiator. The monomer composition may optionally comprise a surfactant to assist in dispersing the monomer composition, and the surfactant may be a reactive surfactant or an unreactive surfactant. Alternatively, the monomer composition may be substantially free, essentially free, or completely free of reactive and/or unreactive surfactant. The time and temperature of polymerization will depend on one another, the ingredients selected and, in some cases, the scale of the reaction. The polymerization may be conducted at, for example, 40°C to 100°C for 2 to 20 hours.
[0019] The free radical initiator utilized for the polymerization may be selected from any of those used for aqueous latex polymerization techniques, including redox pair initiators, an organic peroxide, peroxides, hydroperoxides, peroxydicarbonates, azo compounds and the like.
[0020] Alternatively, the polymerization product may be prepared in an organic solution by techniques well known in the art. For example, the polymerization product may be prepared by conventional free radical initiated solution polymerization techniques wherein an ethylenically unsaturated monomer composition is dissolved in a solvent or a mixture of solvents and polymerized in the presence of a free radical initiator to form the polymerization product comprising constitutional units comprising the residue of the unsaturated monomers. Examples of suitable solvents which may be used for organic solution polymerization include alcohols, such as ethanol, tertiary butanol, and tertiary amyl alcohol; ketones, such as acetone, methyl ethyl ketone; and ethers, such as dimethyl ether of ethylene glycol. Examples of suitable free radical initiators include those which are soluble in the mixture of monomers, such as azobisisobutyronitrile, 2,2'-azobis(2-methylbutyronitrile), azobis-(alpha, gammadimethylvaleronitrile), tertiary-butyl perbenzoate, tertiary-butyl peracetate, benzoyl peroxide, and ditertiary-butyl peroxide. The free radical initiator may be present in an amount of 0.01% to 6% by weight, such as 1.0% to 4.0% by weight, such as 2.0% to 3.5% by weight, based on the total weight of the polymerization product or monomer composition. In examples, the solvent may be first heated to reflux and a mixture of the ethylenically unsaturated monomer composition and a free radical initiator may be added slowly to the refluxing solvent. The
reaction mixture may be held at polymerizing temperatures so as to reduce the free monomer content to below 1.0%, such as below 0.5% by weight, based on the total weight of the ethylenically unsaturated monomer composition. The time and temperature of polymerization may depend on one another, the ingredients selected and, in some cases, the scale of the reaction.

with a polyisocyanate wherein the hydroxyl functional groups from the hydroxyl-functionalized branched polymerizate arc in molar excess relative to the isocyanato functional groups of the polyisocyanate.
[0027] The polyisocyanate may comprise at least 2% by weight of the reaction product, such as at least 5% by weight, such as at least 10% by weight, and the balance may comprise the hydroxyl-functionalized branched polymerizate, for example, at least 80% by weight, such as at least 90% by weight, such as at least 95% by weight, such as at least 98% by weight, based on the total weight of the reaction product.

[0031] It has been surprisingly discovered that the use of the hydroxyl-functionalized branched polymerizate in an electrodepositable coating composition in the amounts taught herein results in a deposited coating having improved crater resistance.
[0032] The presence of the hydroxyl-functionalized branched polymerizate in the amounts disclosed herein in an electrodepositable coating composition may result in a reduction in the depth of craters formed in the cured coating during the curing of the electrodepositable coating composition compared to a substrate coated with a comparative electrodepositable coating composition that does not include the hydroxyl-functionalized branched polymerizate but otherwise has the same composition as the electrodepositable coating composition.

[0053] Phenoplast resins are formed by the condensation of an aldehyde and a phenol. Suitable aldehydes include formaldehyde and acetaldehyde. Methylene-releasing and aldehyde- releasing agents, such as paraformaldehyde and hexamethylene tetramine, may also be utilized as the aldehyde agent. Various phenols may be used, such as phenol itself, a cresol, or a substituted phenol in which a hydrocarbon radical having either a straight chain, a branched chain or a cyclic structure is substituted for a hydrogen in the aromatic ring. Mixtures of phenols may also be employed. Some specific examples of suitable phenols are p-phenylphenol, p-tert-butylphenol, p-tert-amylphenol, cyclopentylphenol and unsaturated hydrocarbon-substituted phenols, such as the monobutenyl phenols containing a butenyl group in ortho, meta or para position, and where the double bond occurs in various positions in the hydrocarbon chain.

Further Components of the Electrodepositable Coating Compositions
[0057] The electrodepositable coating composition according to the present disclosure may optionally comprise one or more further components in addition to the hydroxylfunctionalized branched polymerizate, the ionic salt group-containing film-forming polymer and the curing agent described above.
[0058] According to the present disclosure, the electrodepositable coating composition may optionally comprise a catalyst to catalyze the reaction between the curing agent and the polymers. Examples of catalysts suitable for cationic electrodepositable coating compositions include, without limitation, organotin compounds (e.g., dibutyltin oxide and dioctyltin oxide) and salts thereof (e.g., dibutyltin diacetate); other metal oxides (e.g., oxides of cerium, zirconium and bismuth) and salts thereof (e.g., bismuth sulfamate and bismuth lactate); or a cyclic guanidine as described in U.S. Pat. No. 7,842,762 at col. 1, line 53 to col. 4, line 18 and col. 16, line 62 to col. 19, line 8, the cited portions of which being incorporated herein by reference. Examples of catalysts suitable for anionic electrodepositable coating compositions include latent acid catalysts, specific examples of which are identified in WO 2007/118024 at par. [0031], the cited portion of which is incorporated herein by reference, and include, but are not limited to, ammonium hexafluoroantimonate, quaternary salts of SbFr, (e.g., NACURE® XC-7231), t-amine salts of SbF6 (e.g., NACURE® XC-9223), Zn salts of triflic acid (e.g., NACURE® A202 and
A218), quaternary salts of triflic acid (e.g., NACURE® XC-A230), and diethylamine salts of triflic acid (e.g., NACURE® A233), all commercially available from King Industries, and/or mixtures thereof. Latent acid catalysts may be formed by preparing a derivative of an acid catalyst such as para-toluenesulfonic acid (pTSA) or other sulfonic acids. For example, a well- known group of blocked acid catalysts are amine salts of aromatic sulfonic acids, such as pyridinium para-toluenesulfonate. Such sulfonate salts are less active than the free acid in promoting crosslinking. During cure, the catalysts may be activated by heating.
[0059] According to the present disclosure, the electrodepositable coating compositions of the present disclosure may optionally comprise crater control additives which may be incorporated into the coating composition, such as, for example, a polyalkylene oxide polymer which may comprise a copolymer of butylene oxide and propylene oxide. According to the present disclosure, the molar ratio of butylene oxide to propylene oxide in the monomer mixture used to make the polyalkylene oxide polymer and in the resulting polyalkylene oxide polymer may be at least 1: 1, such as at least 3: 1, such as at least 5: 1, and in some instances, may be no more than 50: 1, such as no more than 30: 1, such as no more than 20: 1. According to the present disclosure, the molar ratio of butylene oxide to propylene oxide in the monomer mixture used to make the polyalkylene oxide polymer and in the resulting polyalkylene oxide polymer may be 1 : 1 to 50: 1 , such as 3 : 1 to 30: 1 , such as 5 : 1 to 20: 1.
[0060] The polyalkylene oxide polymer may comprise at least two hydroxyl functional groups, and may be difunctional, trifunctional, or tetrafunctional. As used herein, a “hydroxyl functional group” comprises an -OH group. For clarity, the polyalkylene oxide polymer may comprise additional functional groups in addition to the hydroxyl functional group(s). As used herein, “monofunctional,” when used with respect to the number of hydroxyl functional groups a particular monomer or polymer comprises, means a monomer or polymer comprising one (1) hydroxyl functional group per molecule. As used herein, “difunctional,” when used with respect to the number of hydroxyl functional groups a particular monomer or polymer comprises, means a monomer or polymer comprising two (2) hydroxyl functional groups per molecule. As used herein, “trifunctional,” when used with respect to the number of hydroxyl functional groups a particular monomer or polymer comprises, means a monomer or polymer comprising three (3) hydroxyl functional groups per molecule. As used herein, “tetrafunctional,” when used with
respect to the number of hydroxyl functional groups a particular monomer or polymer comprises, means a monomer or polymer comprising four (4) hydroxyl functional groups per molecule.
[0061] The hydroxyl equivalent weight of the polyalkylene oxide polymer may be at least 100 g/mol, such as at least 200 g/mol, such as at least 400 g/mol, and may be no more than 2,000 g/mol, such as no more than 1,000 g/mol, such as no more than 800 g/mol. The hydroxyl equivalent weight of the polyalkylene oxide polymer may be 100 g/mol to 2,000 g/mol, such as 200 g/mol to 1,000 g/mol, such as 400 g/mol to 800 g/mol. As used herein, with respect to the polyalkylene oxide polymer, the “hydroxyl equivalent weight” is determined by dividing the molecular weight of the polyalkylene oxide polymer by the number of hydroxyl groups present in the polyalkylene oxide polymer.
[0062] The polyalkylene oxide polymer may have a z-average molecular weight (Mz) of at least 200 g/mol, such as at least 400 g/mol, such as at least 600 g/mol, and may be no more than 5,000 g/mol, such as no more than 3,000 g/mol, such as no more than 2,000 g/mol. According to the present disclosure, the polyalkylene oxide polymer may have a z-average molecular weight of 200 g/mol to 5,000 g/mol, such as 400 g/mol to 3,000 g/mol, such as 600 g/mol to 2,000 g/mol. As used herein, with respect to polyalkylene oxide polymers having a z- average molecular weight (Mz) of less than 900,000, the term “z-average molecular weight (Mz)” means the z-average molecular weight (Mz) as determined by Gel Permeation Chromatography using Waters 2695 separation module with a Waters 410 differential refractometer (RI detector), polystyrene standards having molecular weights of from approximately 500 g/mol to 900,000 g/mol, tetrahydrofuran (THF) with 0.05 M lithium bromide (LiBr) as the eluent at a flow rate of 0.5 mL/min, and one Asahipak GF-510 HQ column for separation.
[0063] The polyalkylene oxide polymer may be present in the electrodepositable coating composition in an amount of at least 0.1% by weight based on the total weight of the resin blend solids, such as at least 0.5% by weight, such as at least 0.75% by weight, and in some instances, may be present in the electrodepositable coating composition in an amount of no more than 10% by weight based on the total weight of the resin blend solids, such as no more than 4% by weight, such as no more than 3% by weight. The poly alkylene oxide polymer may be present in the electrodepositable coating composition in an amount of at 0.1% by weight to 10% by weight based on the total weight of the resin blend solids, such as 0.5% by weight to 4% by weight, such as 0.75% by weight to 3% by weight.
[0064] According to the present disclosure, the electrodepositable coating composition may comprise other optional ingredients, such as a pigment composition and, if desired, various additives such as fillers, plasticizers, antioxidants, biocides, UV light absorbers and stabilizers, hindered amine light stabilizers, defoamers, fungicides, dispersing aids, flow control agents, surfactants, wetting agents, or combinations thereof. Alternatively, the electrodepositable coating composition may be completely free of any of the optional ingredients, i.e., the optional ingredient is not present in the electrodepositable coating composition. The pigment composition may comprise, for example, iron oxides, lead oxides, strontium chromate, carrion black, coal dust, titanium dioxide, talc, barium sulfate, as well as color pigments such as cadmium yellow, cadmium red, chromium yellow and the like. The pigment content of the dispersion may be expressed as the pigment- to-resin weight ratio and may be within the range of 0.03 to 0.6, when pigment is used. The other additives mentioned above may each independently be present in the electrodepositable coating composition in amounts of 0.01% to 3% by weight, based on total weight of the resin solids of the electrodepositable coating composition.
[0065] According to the present disclosure, the electrodepositable coating composition may comprise water and/or one or more organic solvent(s). Water can for example be present in amounts of 40% to 90% by weight, such as 50% to 75% by weight, based on total weight of the electrodepositable coating composition. Examples of suitable organic solvents include oxygenated organic solvents, such as monoalkyl ethers of ethylene glycol, diethylene glycol, propylene glycol, and dipropylene glycol which contain from 1 to 10 carbon atoms in the alkyl group, such as the monoethyl and monobutyl ethers of these glycols. Examples of other at least partially water-miscible solvents include alcohols such as ethanol, isopropanol, butanol and diacetone alcohol. If used, the organic solvents may typically be present in an amount of less than 10% by weight, such as less than 5% by weight, based on total weight of the electrodepositable coating composition. The electrodepositable coating composition may in particular be provided in the form of a dispersion, such as an aqueous dispersion.
[0066] According to the present disclosure, the total solids content of the electrodepositable coating composition may be at least 1% by weight, such as at least 5% by weight, and may be no more than 50% by weight, such as no more than 40% by weight, such as no more than 20% by weight, based on the total weight of the electrodepositable coating
composition. The total solids content of the electrodepositahle coating composition may he from 1% to 50% by weight, such as 5% to 40% by weight, such as 5% to 20% by weight, based on the total weight of the electrodepositahle coating composition. As used herein, “total solids” refers to the non-volatile content of the electrodepositahle coating composition, i.e., materials which will not volatilize when heated to 110°C for 15 minutes.
Substrates
[0067] According to the present disclosure, the electrodepositahle coating composition may be electrophoretically applied to a substrate. The cationic electrodepositahle coating composition may be electrophoretically deposited upon any electrically conductive substrate. Suitable substrates include metal substrates, metal alloy substrates, and/or substrates that have been metallized, such as nickel-plated plastic. Additionally, substrates may comprise non-metal conductive materials including composite materials such as, for example, materials comprising carbon fibers or conductive carbon. According to the present disclosure, the metal or metal alloy may comprise cold rolled steel, hot rolled steel, steel coated with zinc metal, zinc compounds, or zinc alloys, such as electrogalvanized steel, hot-dipped galvanized steel, galvanealed steel, and steel plated with zinc alloy. Aluminum alloys of the 2XXX, 5XXX, 6XXX, or 7XXX series as well as clad aluminum alloys and cast aluminum alloys of the A356 series also may be used as the substrate. Magnesium alloys of the AZ31B, AZ91C, AM60B, or EV31A series also may be used as the substrate. The substrate used in the present disclosure may also comprise titanium and/or titanium alloys. Other suitable non-ferrous metals include copper and magnesium, as well as alloys of these materials. Suitable metal substrates for use in the present disclosure include those that are often used in the assembly of vehicular bodies (e.g., without limitation, door, body panel, trunk deck lid, roof panel, hood, roof and/or stringers, rivets, landing gear components, and/or skins used on an aircraft), a vehicular frame, vehicular parts, motorcycles, wheels, industrial structures and components such as appliances, including washers, dryers, refrigerators, stoves, dishwashers, and the like, agricultural equipment, lawn and garden equipment, air conditioning units, heat pump units, lawn furniture, and other articles. As used herein, “vehicle” or variations thereof includes, but is not limited to, civilian, commercial and military aircraft, and/or land vehicles such as cars, motorcycles, and/or trucks. The metal substrate also may be in the form of, for example, a sheet of metal or a fabricated part. It will also be understood that the substrate may be pretreated with a pretreatment solution including a zinc phosphate pretreatment
solution such as, for example, those described in U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,793,867 and 5,588,989, each of which arc incorporated herein by reference, or a zirconium containing pretreatment solution such as, for example, those described in U.S. Pat. Nos. 7,749,368 and 8,673,091, each of which are incorporated herein by reference.
Methods of Coating, Coatings and Coated Substrates
[0068] The present disclosure is also directed to methods for coating a substrate, such as any one of the electroconductive substrates mentioned above. The method may comprise electrophoretically applying an electrodepositable coating composition as described above to at least a portion of the substrate and curing the coating composition to form an at least partially cured coating on the substrate. The method may comprise (a) electrophoretically depositing onto at least a portion of the substrate an electrodepositable coating composition of the present disclosure and (b) heating the coated substrate to a temperature and for a time sufficient to cure the electrodeposited coating on the substrate. The method may optionally further comprise (c) applying directly to the at least partially cured electrodeposited coating one or more pigmentcontaining coating compositions and/or one or more pigment-free coating compositions to form a topcoat over at least a portion of the at least partially cured electrodeposited coating, and (d) heating the coated substrate of step (c) to a temperature and for a time sufficient to cure the top coat.
[0069] The cationic electrodepositable coating composition may be deposited upon an electrically conductive substrate by placing the composition in contact with an electrically conductive cathode and an electrically conductive anode, with the surface to be coated being the cathode. Following contact with the composition, an adherent film of the coating composition is deposited on the cathode when a sufficient voltage is impressed between the electrodes. The conditions under which the electrodeposition is carried out are, in general, similar to those used in electrodeposition of other types of coatings. The applied voltage may be varied and can be, for example, as low as one volt to as high as several thousand volts, such as between 50 and 500 volts. The current density may be between 0.5 ampere and 15 amperes per square foot and tends to decrease during electrodeposition indicating the formation of an insulating film.
[0070] Once the cationic electrodepositable coating composition is electrodeposited over at least a portion of the electroconductive substrate, the coated substrate is heated to a temperature and for a time sufficient to at least partially cure the electrodeposited coating on the
substrate. As used herein, the term “at least partially cured” with respect to a coating refers to a coating formed by subjecting the coating composition to curing conditions such that a chemical reaction of at least a portion of the reactive groups of the components of the coating composition occurs to form a coating. The coated substrate may be heated to a temperature ranging from 250°F to 450°F (121.1°C to 232.2°C), such as from 275°F to 400°F (135°C to 204.4°C), such as from 300°F to 36O°F (149°C to 180°C). The curing time may be dependent upon the curing temperature as well as other variables, for example, the film thickness of the electrodeposited coating, level and type of catalyst present in the composition and the like. For purposes of the present disclosure, all that is necessary is that the time be sufficient to effect cure of the coating on the substrate. For example, the curing time can range from 10 minutes to 60 minutes, such as 20 to 40 minutes. The thickness of the resultant cured electrodeposited coating may range from 15 to 50 microns.
[0071] The anionic electrodepositable coating composition may be deposited upon an electrically conductive substrate by placing the composition in contact with an electrically conductive cathode and an electrically conductive anode, with the surface to be coated being the anode. Following contact with the composition, an adherent film of the coating composition is deposited on the anode when a sufficient voltage is impressed between the electrodes. The conditions under which the electrodeposition is carried out are, in general, similar to those used in electrodeposition of other types of coatings. The applied voltage may be varied and can be, for example, as low as one volt to as high as several thousand volts, such as between 50 and 500 volts. The current density may be between 0.5 ampere and 15 amperes per square foot and tends to decrease during electrodeposition indicating the formation of an insulating film.
[0072] Once the anionic electrodepositable coating composition is electrodeposited over at least a portion of the electroconductive substrate, the coated substrate may be heated to a temperature and for a time sufficient to at least partially cure the electrodeposited coating on the substrate. As used herein, the term “at least partially cured” with respect to a coating refers to a coating formed by subjecting the coating composition to curing conditions such that a chemical reaction of at least a portion of the reactive groups of the components of the coating composition occurs to form a coating. The coated substrate may be heated to a temperature ranging from 200°F to 450°F (93°C to 232.2°C), such as from 275°F to 400°F (135°C to 204.4°C), such as from 300°F to 36O°F (149°C to 180°C). The curing time may be dependent upon the curing
temperature as well as other variables, for example, film thickness of the electrodeposited coating, level and type of catalyst present in the composition and the like. For purposes of the present disclosure, all that is necessary is that the time be sufficient to effect cure of the coating on the substrate. For example, the curing time may range from 10 to 60 minutes, such as 20 to 40 minutes. The thickness of the resultant cured electrodeposited coating may range from 15 to 50 microns.
[0073] The electrodepositable coating compositions of the present disclosure may also, if desired, be applied to a substrate using non-electrophoretic coating application techniques, such as flow, dip, spray and roll coating applications. For non-electrophoretic coating applications, the coating compositions may be applied to conductive substrates as well as non-conductive substrates such as glass, wood and plastic.
[0074] The present disclosure is further directed to a coating formed by at least partially curing the electrodepositable coating composition described herein.
[0075] The present disclosure is further directed to a substrate that is coated, at least in part, with the electrodepositable coating composition described herein in an at least partially cured state.
Multi-layer coating composites
[0076] The electrodepositable coating compositions of the present disclosure may be utilized in an electrocoating layer that is part of a multi-layer coating composite comprising a substrate with various coating layers. The coating layers may include a pretreatment layer, such as a phosphate layer (e.g., zinc phosphate layer), an electrocoating layer which results from the aqueous resinous dispersion of the present disclosure, and suitable topcoat layers (e.g., base coat, clear coat layer, pigmented monocoat, and color-plus-clear composite compositions). It is understood that suitable topcoat layers include any of those known in the art, and each independently may be waterborne, solventbome, in solid particulate form (i.e., a powder coating composition), or in the form of a powder slurry. The topcoat typically includes a film-forming polymer, crosslinking material and, if a colored base coat or monocoat, one or more pigments. According to the present disclosure, the primer layer is disposed between the electrocoating layer and the base coat layer. According to the present disclosure, one or more of the topcoat layers are applied onto a substantially uncured underlying layer. For example, a clear coat layer may be
applied onto at least a portion of a substantially uncured basecoat layer (wet-on-wet), and both layers may be simultaneously cured in a downstream process.
[0077] Moreover, the top-coat layers may be applied directly onto the elec trodepo sitable coating layer. In other words, the substrate lacks a primer layer. For example, a basecoat layer may be applied directly onto at least a portion of the electrodepositable coating layer.
[0078] It will also be understood that the top-coat layers may be applied onto an underlying layer despite the fact that the underlying layer has not been fully cured. For example, a clearcoat layer may be applied onto a basecoat layer even though the basecoat layer has not been subjected to a curing step. Both layers may then be cured during a subsequent curing step thereby eliminating the need to cure the basecoat layer and the clearcoat layer separately.
[0079] According to the present disclosure, additional ingredients such as colorants and fillers may be present in the various coating compositions from which the top-coat layers result. Any suitable colorants and fillers may be used. For example, the colorant may be added to the coating in any suitable form, such as discrete particles, dispersions, solutions and/or flakes. A single colorant or a mixture of two or more colorants can be used in the coatings of the present disclosure. It should be noted that, in general, the colorant can be present in a layer of the multilayer composite in any amount sufficient to impart the desired property, visual and/or color effect.
[0080] The electrodepositable coating composition of the present disclosure may be substantially free, essentially free, or completely free of silicon dioxide microspheres and/or silicon dioxide nanospheres. As used herein, the electrodepositable coating composition is “substantially free” of silicon dioxide microspheres and/or silicon dioxide nanospheres if the silicon dioxide microspheres and/or silicon dioxide nanospheres are present in the electrodepositable coating composition, if at all, in an amount of less than 3% by weight, based on the total weight of the resin solids. As used herein, the electrodepositable coating composition is “essentially free” of silicon dioxide microspheres and/or silicon dioxide nanospheres if the silicon dioxide microspheres and/or silicon dioxide nanospheres are present in the electrodepositable coating composition, if at all, in an amount of less than 1% by weight, based on the total weight of the electrodepositable coating composition. As used herein, the electrodepositable coating composition is “completely free” of the silicon dioxide microspheres
and/or silicon dioxide nanospheres if the silicon dioxide microspheres and/or silicon dioxide nanosphcrcs arc not present in the clcctrodcpositablc coating composition, i.c., 0% by weight.
[0081] As used herein, unless otherwise defined, the term “substantially free” means that the component is present, if at all, in an amount of less than 5% by weight, based on the total weight of the slurry composition.
[0082] As used herein, unless otherwise defined, the term “essentially free” means that the component is present, if at all, in an amount of less than 1% by weight, based on the total weight of the slurry composition.
[0083] As used herein, unless otherwise defined, the term “completely free” means that the component is not present in the slurry composition, i.e., 0.00% by weight, based on the total weight of the slurry composition.
[0084] For purposes of this detailed description, it is to be understood that the disclosure may assume alternative variations and step sequences, except where expressly specified to the contrary. Moreover, other than in any operating examples, or where otherwise indicated, all numbers expressing, for example, quantities of ingredients used in the specification and claims are to be understood as being modified in all instances by the term “about”. Accordingly, unless indicated to the contrary, the numerical parameters set forth in the following specification and attached claims are approximations that may vary depending upon the desired properties to be obtained by the present disclosure. At the very least, and not as an attempt to limit the application of the doctrine of equivalents to the scope of the claims, each numerical parameter should at least be construed in light of the number of reported significant digits and by applying ordinary rounding techniques.
[0085] Notwithstanding that the numerical ranges and parameters setting forth the broad scope of the disclosure are approximations, the numerical values set forth in the specific examples are reported as precisely as possible. Any numerical value, however, inherently contains certain errors necessarily resulting from the standard variation found in their respective testing measurements.
[0086] Also, it should be understood that any numerical range recited herein is intended to include all sub-ranges subsumed therein. For example, a range of “1 to 10” is intended to include all sub-ranges between (and including) the recited minimum value of 1 and the recited
maximum value of 10, that is, having a minimum value equal to or greater than 1 and a maximum value of equal to or less than 10.
[0087] As used herein, “including,” “containing” and like terms are understood in the context of this application to be synonymous with “comprising” and are therefore open-ended and do not exclude the presence of additional undescribed or unrecited elements, materials, ingredients or method steps. As used herein, “consisting of’ is understood in the context of this application to exclude the presence of any unspecified element, ingredient or method step. As used herein, “consisting essentially of’ is understood in the context of this application to include the specified elements, materials, ingredients or method steps “and those that do not materially affect the basic and novel characteristic(s)” of what is being described.
[0088] As used herein, the terms “on,” “onto,” “applied on,” “applied onto,” “formed on,” “deposited on,” “deposited onto,” mean formed, overlaid, deposited, or provided on but not necessarily in contact with the surface. For example, a composition “deposited onto” a substrate does not preclude the presence of one or more other intervening coating layers of the same or different composition located between the electrodepo sitable coating composition and the substrate.
[0089] In this application, the use of the singular includes the plural and plural encompasses singular, unless specifically stated otherwise. For example, although reference is made herein to “an” hydroxyl-functionalized branched polymerizate, “an” ionic salt group- containing film-forming polymer different from the hydroxyl-functionalized branched polymerizate, a combination (i.e., a plurality) of these components may be used. In addition, in this application, the use of “or” means “and/or” unless specifically stated otherwise, even though “and/or” may be explicitly used in certain instances.
[0090] Whereas specific aspects of the disclosure have been described in detail, it will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that various modifications and alternatives to those details could be developed in light of the overall teachings of the disclosure. Accordingly, the particular arrangements disclosed are meant to be illustrative only and not limiting as to the scope of the disclosure which is to be given the full breadth of the claims appended and any and all equivalents thereof.
[0091] Illustrating the disclosure are the following examples, which, however, are not to be considered as limiting the disclosure to their details. Unless otherwise indicated, all parts and percentages in the following examples, as well as throughout the specification, are by weight.
EXAMPLES
Example 1: Preparation of a Blocked Polyisocyanate Crosslinker for Electrodepositable Coating Compositions (Crosslinker I).
[0092] A blocked polyisocyanate crosslinker (Crosslinker I), suitable for use in electrodepositable coating resins, was prepared in the following manner. Components 2-5 listed in Table 1, below, were mixed in a flask set up for total reflux with stirring under nitrogen. The mixture was heated to a temperature of 35 °C, and Component 1 was added drop wise so that the temperature increased due to the reaction exotherm and was maintained under 100 °C. After the addition of Component 1 was complete, a temperature of 110°C was established in the reaction mixture and the reaction mixture held at temperature until no residual isocyanate was detected by IR spectroscopy. Component 6 was then added, and the reaction mixture was allowed to stir for 30 minutes and cooled to ambient temperature.

[0094] A portion of the Resin Synthesis Product A (Component 11) was then poured into a pre-mixed solution of Components 12 and 13 to form a resin dispersion. Component 14 was then added quickly, and the resin dispersion was stirred for 1 hour. Component 15 was then introduced over 30 minutes to further dilute the resin dispersion, followed by the addition of Component 16. The free MIBK in the resin dispersion was removed from the dispersion under vacuum at a temperature of 60-70°C.
[0095] The solids content of the resulting cationic, amine-functionalized, polyepoxide- based polymeric resin dispersion (Comparative Resin Dispersion A) was determined by adding a quantity of the resin dispersion to a tared aluminum dish, recording the initial weight of the resin dispersion, heating the resin dispersion in the dish for 60 minutes at 110°C in an oven, allowing the dish to cool to ambient temperature, reweighing the dish to determine the amount of nonvolatile content remaining, and calculating the solids content by dividing the weight of the remaining non-volatile content by the initial resin dispersion weight and multiplying by 100. (Note, this procedure was used to determine the solids content in each of resin dispersion examples described below). The Comparative Resin Dispersion A had a solids content of 38.79% by weight.

4 A surfactant available from Solvay
[0099] A cationic resin was prepared in the following manner from the materials included in Table 4: Materials 1- 3 were added to a suitably equipped round bottom flask. The mixture is then heated to 130°C. Materials 4-5 were then added. The reaction mixture was allowed to exotherm and held at 135°C until the epoxy equivalent weight of 1230 was achieved. Epoxy equivalent weight (EEW) was measured by potentiometric titration using 0.1 N perchloric acid in acetic acid as the titrant. An aliquot (~1 g) was sampled from the reaction mixture and dissolved in a 1:2 w/w mixture of methylene chloride/acetic acid (—30 mL).
Tetraethyl ammonium bromide (~1 g) was then added to the solution and fully dissolved. Epoxy equivalent weight was then evaluated using a pre-programmed potentiometer equipped with an automatic titrant dispenser unit, stir plate, and glass combination pH electrode, for example the Titrando series of titrators available from Metrohm. The 0.1 N perchloric acid titrant is added under constant pH monitoring until the pH of the sample rapidly decreases to a strongly acidic pH value and then stabilizes, indicating completion of the titration. EEW is calculated based on the determined endpoint, aliquot mass, and normality of the titrant solution. Component 6 was then introduced while cooling the content of the flask to 100°C. Components 7-8 were added to the flask, the reaction mixture was allowed to exotherm and held at 90-95 °C until a stable Gardner- Holdt viscosity of G-K was attained (10 g of the reaction mixture in 8.7 g of 1- methoxy-2-propanol). The Gardner-Holdt viscosity was measured by filling a sample of the composition into a Gardem-Holdt tube (available from BYK-Gardner) leaving ~1 cm of air and sealing with a stopper. The tube was then placed into a 23 °C water bath until the sample reaches that temperature. The sample was then placed into a holder with reference tubes (available from BYK-Gardner) and inverted. The viscosity is determined by the reference tube that the bubble rise speed matches. Components 9-10 were then introduced, and the reaction mixture held at 90- 95 °C until a Gardner-Holdt viscosity of P was achieved. The content of the flask was solubilized
into pre-blended Charges 11-12 and mixed for 30 min. Charge 13 was then introduced, and the resulting dispersion mixed for additional 30 minutes. At the end of the hold, component 14 was added slowly. The resulting Cationic Resin Dispersion D has a solids content of 33.36%.

3 Diketimine is the reaction product of diethylene triamine and Methyl isobutyl ketone at 72.3% solids in Methyl isobutyl ketone.
[0100] Cationic Resin Intermediate I was prepared in the following manner using components listed in Table 5. Materials 1-5 (Epon 828, bisphenol A-ethylene oxide adduct, bisphenol A, methyl isobutyl ketone, and Tetronic 150R1) were charged into a reaction vessel and heated under a nitrogen atmosphere to 125°C. The first portion of the benzyldimethylamine, Material 6, was added and the reaction allowed to exotherm to around 180°C. When the reaction reached 160°C, a one -hour hold was started. After the peak exotherm the resin was allowed to cool back to 160°C, continuing the hold. After the hold, the reaction was then cooled to 130°C and the second portion of benzyldimethylamine. Material 7, was added. The reaction was held at 130°C until an extrapolated epoxy equivalent weight of 1070. At the expected epoxy equivalent
weight, Materials 8 and 9 (Diketimine and N-methylethanolamine) were added in succession and the mixture allowed to exotherm to around 150°C. At the peak exotherm a one-hour hold was started while allowing the reaction to cool to 125°C. After the one hour hold the resin was dispersed in an aqueous medium consisting of sulfamic acid and the first portion of deionized water. The dispersion was later reduced with the second, third, and fourth portions of deionized water. The resulting cationic soap was vacuum striped until the methyl isobutyl ketone content was less than 0.05%.

[0101] Cationic Resin Additive E was prepared in the following manner using components listed in Table 6. Material 1 was charged to the reactor and heated to 70°C. Components 2 and 3 were introduced sequentially, followed by the addition of Material 4 over 15 min. Component 5 was added to the reaction mixture and held for 45 min. at 70°C. The content of the flask was then heated to 88°C and held for 3 hours. Two and 14 hours into the hold time, Components 6 and 7 were introduced. The heat source was removed from the reactor and Material 8 was introduced. At 32°C, Charge 9 was added, and the mixture held for 1 hour resulting in the Cationic Resin Additive E.
Preparation of Electrodepositable Coatings
'Available as MAZON 1651 from BASF
2Paste supplied from PPG Industries with a solid content of 52% and a pigment to binder weight ratio of 1.817 containing 1.6% dibutyltin oxide on total paste weight.
[0102] For each paint composition, Charges 1- 5 were added sequentially into a plastic container at room temperature under agitation with 10 minutes of stirring after each addition. The mixture was stirred for at least 30 minutes at room temperature. Charges 6 and 7 were then added and the paint was allowed to stir until uniform, a minimum of 30 minutes. Charge 8 was added, and the paint was allowed to stir for a minimum of 30 minutes until uniform. The resulting cationic electrodepositable paint compositions had a solids content of 20.5%, determined as described previously, and a pigment to binder ratio of 0.12/1.0 by weight.
[0103] After 20 % ultrafiltration (and reconstitution with deionized water), Coated panels were prepared from baths separately containing the cationic electrodepositable paint compositions and were evaluated for crater resistance. The results are reported below.
Oil Spot Contamination Resistance Testing
[0104] The above-described electrodepositable paint compositions were then electrodeposited onto cold rolled steel test panels, 4x6x0.031 inches, pretreated with CHEMFOS C700 /DI (CHEMFOS C700 is a zinc phosphate immersion pretreatment composition available from PPG Industries, Inc.). These panels are available from ACT Laboratories of Hillside, Mich. The panels were electrocoated in a manner well-known in the art by immersing them into a stirring bath at 32°C. and connecting the cathode of a direct current rectifier to the panel and connecting the rectifier's anode to stainless steel tubing used to circulate cooling water for bath
temperature control. The voltage was increased from 0 to a set point voltage between 160V - 190V over a period of 30 seconds and then held at that voltage for an additional 120 seconds. This combination of time, temperature and voltage provided a cured dry film thickness of 20 microns for all paints.
[0105] After electrodeposition, the panels were removed from the bath and rinsed vigorously with a spray of deionized water and cured by baking for 25 minutes at 177°C in an electric oven.
[0106] The substrate panels comprising the electrodeposited coating layers were tested for oil spot contamination resistance, which evaluates the ability of an electrodeposited coating to resist crater formation upon cure. The electrodeposited coating layers were tested for oil spot crater resistance by localized contamination of the dried coating layers using three common oils: Ferrocote 6130 (Quaker Chemical Corporation, F), LubeCon Series O Lubricant (Castrol Industrial North America Inc., L) or Molub-Alloy Chain Oil 22 Spray (Castrol Industrial North America Inc., M). The oil was deposited as a droplet (< 0.1 pL) onto the dried coating layers using a 40% by weight solution of the LubeCon Series O Lubricant in isopropanol, a 40% by weight solution of the or Molub-Alloy Chain Oil 22 Spray in isopropanol, or a 40% by weight solution of Ferrocote 6130 in isopropanol/butanol (75%/25% by weight) and a micropipette (Scilogex). The oil-spotted substrate panels were then cured as described above (baked for 20 minutes at 177°C in an electric oven).
[0107] Each substrate panel was scanned using a Keyence VR-3200 optical measurement system to examine the depth of crater defects in the cured coating layer. The differences between the highest peak and lowest pit points of each of the resulting craters in each coating layer (crater depth, A) were averaged (at least 4 craters per coating layer) to quantify the results of the oil spot test. Lower values show improved performance. This test is referred to herein as the CRATER DEPTH TEST METHOD. The results show that both Vybar H-6164 and Vybar H-6175 show improved performance in the CRATER DEPTH TEST METHOD compared to the comparative example.

Alkyd Adhesion Testing
[0108] White alkyd adhesion testing evaluates the ability of a second cured coating layer to adhere to the underlying cured clcctrodcpo sited coating. White alkyd paint, C354-W404, available from PPG Industries, Inc., was reduced to a viscosity of 100 centipoise as measured at 20 rpm by a Brookfield DV- 1 Prime viscometer fitted with a cone and plate accessory at room temperature (23 °C). The reducing solvent was butyl acetate. E-coated test panels were prepared as described and baked in an electric oven at 155°C, 175°C, and 195°C for 25 minutes. A wet white alkyd coating was applied to the cured e-coat using a #55 (0.055-inch diameter wire) wirewound coating rod, available from R. D. Specialties. After allowing the white alkyd coating to flash for 10 minutes under ambient conditions, the panels were cured by baking horizontally for 30 minutes at 150°C in an electric oven. After the panels had cooled to ambient temperature (about 25°C), they were subjected to a crosshatch test.
[0109] The crosshatch test uses a scribing tool with teeth set 2 mm apart which cut the coating system down to metallic substrate. With two such perpendicular cuts, a “cross-hatch” results which is then tested with Scotch 898 tape. Failure constitutes loss of adhesion between the alkyd coating and the electrodeposited coating. Crosshatch adhesion results were tested on a scale of 0 to 10, with 0 being the worst and 10 being the best and are reported in the following table. A score of 0 indicates that the cured alkyd paint has been completely removed by the tape from within the scribed area. A score between 0 and 10 indicates that progressively less cured alkyd paint is removed by the tape from within the scribed area, paint being typically removed from the comers where two scribed lines intersect. A score of 10 indicates that there is no evidence of cured alkyd paint being removed by the tape from any of the corners where two scribed lines intersect. A rating of 9 or 10 is considered to be passing performance. As used herein, this test is referred to as the “WHITE ALKYD ADHESION TEST." The results show that the comparative and experimental compositions performed similarly in the WHITE ALKYD
AHEDION TEST while the experimental compositions still demonstrated improved performance in the crater control test above.
