AI Technical Summary
Existing electrodeposition coating methods face challenges in achieving high coating utilization, superior corrosion resistance, and minimizing environmental pollution, particularly in the absence of catalyst tin, while maintaining effective film formation and mechanical properties.
An electrodepositable coating composition comprising an active hydrogen-containing ionic base-containing film-forming polymer, a curing agent, an organic resin component with at least 60% aliphatic content, and a calcined clay pigment, along with a tin-free curing catalyst, including bismuth, amine, zinc, zirconium, cerium, amidine, imidazole, or titanium catalysts, to form a binder with specific glass transition temperature domains for enhanced mechanical properties.
The composition achieves high coating utilization, superior corrosion resistance, and reduced environmental impact, with improved mechanical properties such as elongation and tensile toughness, while eliminating the need for catalyst tin.
