example a

Polysiloxane

[0074]This example describes the preparation of polysiloxane polyol, a product of the hydrosilylation of polysiloxane with an approximate degree of polymerization of 3 to 4, i.e. (Si—O)3 to (Si—O)4. The polysiloxane polyol was prepared as follows:

[0075]To a suitable reaction vessel equipped with a means for maintaining a nitrogen blanket, was added 1032.0 kg of trimethylolpropane monoallyl ether and 84.4 g of anhydrous sodium acetate. The mixture was sparged with nitrogen for 20 minutes with stirring at room temperature, and a solution of chloroplatinic acid (29.1 g in 570.0 g of isopropanol) was added, followed by 952.5 g of toluene. The mixture was heated to 80° C., and 680.4 kg of MASILWAX BASE 135 (polysiloxane containing silicon hydride, available from Emerald Performance Materials) was added over 5 hours and 30 minutes. The temperature was maintained at 80° C. until the silicon hydride peak at 2150 cm−1 in the infrared spectrum was no longer observable.

example b

Silica Dispersion

[0076]This Example describes a colloidal silica dispersion prepared as follows:

[0077]A suitable reaction vessel equipped for vacuum distillation was flushed with N2. To the reaction flask was added 236.3 g of the polysiloxane polyol of Example A, 337.2 g of ORGANOSILICASOL MT-ST (colloidal silica available from Nissan Chemicals), and 129.4 g of methyl amyl ketone. The resulting mixture was vacuum distilled at 25° C. until 212.1 g of solvent had been removed. The mixture was heated to 40° C. for 2 hours, and then to 60° C. for an additional 2 hours. To the reaction flask was added 90.2 g of 4-methylhexahydrophthalic anhydride over 30 minutes. After completion of this addition, the mixture was heated to 90° C. When the anhydride peak at 1790 cm−1 in the infrared spectrum was no longer observable, 175.9 g of CARDURA E-10 (neodecanoic acid glycidyl ester) was added over 2 hours. After the first 10 minutes of the addition, 0.75 g of benzyldimethylamine was added to the r...

example i

[0078]The colloidal silica dispersion of Example B was used to modify a cationic electrodepositable clear coating composition available from PPG Industries as ELECTROCLEAR 2700. The amino group-containing acrylic polymer and aminoplast curing agent were mixed with the silica dispersion of Example B. Lactic acid was added to the mixture to partially neutralize the amino group-containing acrylic polymer (70% TN) and the mixture dispersed in water to a 30% solids content. For use in an electrodeposition bath, the dispersions were further thinned with water to a solids content of fifteen (15) percent by weight.

[0079]Reference is made to the Fig., where it can be seen that the concentration of colloidal silica particles is greater at the surface 2 of the cured coating than in the bulk region. In other words, the concentration of the colloidal silica particles in the region extending from the exposed air-surface interface to a depth of 20 to 50 nanometers is greater than the concentration...

Abstract

Coated articles comprising a decorative metal substrate and a transparent cured coating thereon containing inorganic particles in which the concentration of particles in the exposed surface region of the cured coating is greater than the bulk region of the coating. Preferably, the transparent coating is applied by electrodeposition.

Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0001]The present invention relates to coated articles, particularly decorative articles, and to methods for coating the articles by electrodeposition such that the articles have improved mar and scratch resistance.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]Decorative metals, such as brass, bronze, polished steel and aluminum, and articles derived therefrom, such as hardware and jewelry, aluminum and steel trim parts, are often coated with a clear or tinted transparent coating to enhance the durability and weatherability of the article. A disadvantage of many of these protective coatings is that they have poor mar and scratch resistance.[0003]The present invention provides a coated decorative metal substrate with improved mar and scratch resistance and applying by electrodeposition a coating that provides improved mar and scratch resistance.SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION[0004]The present invention provides a coated article comprising:[0005](a) a decorative substrate,[0006](b) ...
