AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

[0005] Acidic, aqueous solutions or dispersions are provided for contact with the requisite metal surfaces such as steel, zinc coated steel, and aluminum surfaces. The solutions and dispersions are chromate free and provide enhanced corrosion protection and adherence of siccative coatings on the metal surface. These siccative coatings typically include paints, lacquers, inks, varnishes, resins, etc.

Problems solved by technology

Because of the high solubility and the strongly oxidizing character of hexavalent chromium ions, conventional chromate conversion processes require extensive water treatment procedures to control their discharge.
In addition, the disposal of the solid sludge from such waste treatment procedures is a significant problem.

Abstract

Chromate-free and metal phosphate free treatments and compositions for applying a conversion or passivation coating for metals, more particularly, steel, zinc coated steel, and aluminum surfaces. The methods of the invention comprise contacting the requisite metal surface with a treatment composition comprising a member or members comprising one or more Group IV B elements, fluoride, and phosphonic acid or phosphonate. Optionally, a silane may be added as a treatment component.

Description

FIELD OF INVENTION [0001] The present invention relates to non-chrome containing coatings for metals. More particularly, the present invention relates to rinsable, non-chromate, non-metal phosphate coatings for steel, zinc coated steel, and aluminum surfaces to improve the adhesion of siccative coatings to the surface and provide enhanced corrosion protection. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0002] It is well known to those skilled in the art to employ a chromate or phosphate conversion or passivation coating on the surface of metals to impart improved corrosion resistance of bare and painted metal, improve adhesion of coatings, and for aesthetic purposes. For example, see Corrosion, L. L. Sheir, R. A. Jarman, G. T. Burstein, Eds. (3rd Edition, Butterworth-Heinemann Ltd, Oxford, 1994), Volume 2, chapter 15.3. [0003] Growing concerns exist regarding the toxicity profile of chromium and the pollution effect of chromates, phosphates and other heavy metals discharged into rivers and waterwa...
