Cathodic electrocoating compositions including an additive comprising the reaction product of a polyoxy alkylene amide, a glycidoxy alkyl alkoxy silane and either a glycidyl ester of a carboxylic acid or an alkyl glycidyl ether

摘要

A cathodic electrocoating composition comprises an aqueous carrier, a film forming binder, comprising an epoxy-amine adduct and a blocked polyisocyanate crosslinking agent, dispersed in the carrier, and a novel additive comprising the reaction product of (1) a polyoxy alkylene di or monoamine; (2) a glycidoxy alkyl alkoxy silane; and (3) a glycidyl compound selected from the group consisting of a glycidyl ester of a carboxylic acid and an alkyl glycidyl ether, which reaction product is hydrolyzed in the presence of acid and water to convert alkoxysilane moieties to silanol moieties. The electrocoat composition produces coatings having a smoother appearance with better edge coverage and fewer craters.
