The first and/or the second domain containing from 0.1 to 10% by weight of a nitrogen-coutaining adhesion monomer and the first domain containing at least 10% by weight of vinyl aromatic compounds and/or the second domain containing at least 15% by weight of vinyl aromatic compounds and/or C to C alkylmethacrylates.

A process for reducing the pH of anionic polyurethane dispersions which are stabilized by carboxylate or sulfonate groups, which comprises adding a compound which has from one to four ester groups but no acid group or acid halide or anhydride group to the dispersions.

The present invention relates to aqueous binder dispersions for the preparation of, inter alia, paints and finishes, substantially containing

Aqueous binder dispersions for the preparation of paints and finishes

A binder which is suitable for coating agents and is based on a combination which is essentially free of protective colloids and consists of an aqueous primary dispersion of a synthetic polymer and a water-insoluble polycondensate of phenols and aldehydes, some of which may be replaced by ketones, is prepared by a process in which the phenolic components for the polycondensate are first mixed with an aqueous primary dispersion of a synthetic polymer which contains glycidyl, carbonyl, N-methylol, N-alkoxymethyl, ether, amino and/or hydrazo groups and may furthermore contain carboxyl or hydroxyl groups, and the polycondensation with the aldehydes (and ketones) is then carried out in this mixture, under conventional conditions. The binders prepared according to the invention are useful as binders for dispersion paints and coatings, in particular as heat-curable binders for metal finishes.

Preparation of a binder suitable for coating agents

Surface coating binders which contain tertiary amino groups, blocked isocyanate groups, hydroxyl groups and ether groups and are water-soluble or water-dispersible as a result of partial or complete salt formation with an acid are prepared by copolymerization of a mixture comprising

Surface coating binder containing blocked isocyanate groups

An aqueous cationic surface-coating system contains an olefinically unsaturated surface-coating binder having basic nitrogen groups, some or all of which are converted into salts with acid, a Co, Mn, Pb, Ce, Zr, Ca, Zn, Fe, Al, Cu, Ni or Cd complex, if appropriate in combination with an inhibitor and/or an initiator which supplies free radicals. This surface-coating system can be used for cathodic electrocoating or for conventional methods of surface-coating.

Aqueous cationic surface-coating system and its use

Surface-coating binders based on a copolymer which contains tertiary amino groups, blocked isocyanate groups, hydroxyl groups and ether groups and which, due to partial or complete salification with an acid, is water-soluble or water-dispersible. The copolymer contains, as copolymerized units, an olefinically unsaturated compound possessing a tertiary amino group, an N-(alk-1-enyl) isocyanate blocked with a CH-, OH- or NH-acidic blocking agent, and an adduct of an epoxy resin based on bisphenol A and epichlorohydrin, andhaving a molecular weight of from 380 to 3,500, with an olefinically unsaturated alcohol of 3 to 20 carbon atoms, and with an olefinically unsaturated carboxylic acid of 3 to 20 carbon atoms, with or without one or more other copolymerizable olefinically unsaturated compounds, and has a mean molecular weight of from 1,000 to 20,000. The novel surface-coating binder is useful, either as a self-crosslinking binder or as a binder which needs an external crosslinking agent, for the cathodic electrocoating of metallic articles.

Surface-coating binders which contain blocked isocyanate groups and are

Polyadducts, free from epoxide groups, are obtained from ammonia and epoxide compounds by reacting 1 mole of ammonia with from 1.2 to 2.0 equivalents of epoxide, so that if diepoxide compounds are used products of the general formula (I) ##STR1## are obtained, while if triepoxides and/or tetraepoxide compounds are used, by themselves, or together with diepoxide compounds, products of the general formula II ##STR2## are produced; in these formulae, the E.sup.1 's are identical or different hydroxyl-containing divalent radicals and the E.sup.2 's are identical or different hydroxyl-containing trivalent or tetravalent radicals, resulting from the opening of the oxirane rings of epoxide compounds containing two, three or four epoxide groups in the molecule, n.sup.1, n.sup.3 and n.sup.5 are from 0 to 3, n.sup.2 and n.sup.4 are from 1 to 3 and X is 0 or 1, and one or more of the divalent radicals E.sup.1 in the general formlula (II) may or may not be replaced by polyvalent radicals E.sup.2. The novel polyadducts can be modified by reaction with aldehydes, ketones, monoepoxide compounds, carboxylic acids, carboxylic acid esters or isocyanates, or by protonation with an acid, and may be used, for example, for the cathodic electrocoating of metallic articles.

A process for the preparation of curable polyadducts, possessing basic nitrogen groups, wherein (A) monophenols and/or polyphenols, which contain groups of the general formula (I): ##STR1## where R.sup.1 and R.sup.2 are identical or different and each is hydrogen or methyl are reacted with (B) amines having one or more primary and/or secondary amino groups, and the adduct formed is reacted with (C) epoxide compounds having from 1 to 4 epoxide groups per molecule and having a molecular weight of at most 2,500, the ratio of the phenolic hydroxyl groups of (A) to epoxide groups of (C) being from 1:0.5 to 1:2 and the amine (B) being employed in such amount that the resulting polyadduct of (A), (B) and (C) contains from 0.1 to 5% by weight of basic nitrogen, and the use of the products, after protonation with an acid, as binders for the production of coatings, especially for the cathodic electrocoating of metal articles.

Preparation of curable polyadducts, containing basic nitrogen groups,

The invention concerns polyadducts and their use. The polyadducts, possessing nitrogen-basic groups, have a mean molecular weight of from 500 to 10,000 and contain groups, attached to aromatic rings, of the general formula (I) ##STR1## where R.sup.1 and R.sup.2 are identical or different and each is hydrogen or methyl. In particular, these polyadducts are used, after protonizing with an acid, as binders for the cathodic electrocoating of metal articles.

Polyadducts containing unsaturated amide groups and their use in coatings

A process for the preparation of self-crosslinking, cathodic electrocoating binders by reacting polyether-polyols, which may or may not contain thio groups, with semi-blocked diisocyanates or partially blocked polyisocyanates, wherein the reaction products (A), containing blocked isocyanate groups, are reacted with a polyamine (B), some of whose amino groups may or may not be in the form of ketimine groups, in such a way that one or more amino groups of the polyamine (B) form a urea group with a blocked isocyanate group of the reaction product (A), and the self-cross-linking reaction product of (A) and (B) is converted into a water-dilutable form in the conventional manner by protonization with an acid. The coating binders prepared according to the invention may be used for cathodic electrocoating of metal articles.
