Claims
- 1. A metal surface treating composition having improved anticorrosive, bending and scratch resistant properties consisting essentially of an aqueous emulsion of hard polymer microparticles obtained by emulsion polymerization of .alpha., .beta.-ethylenically unsaturated monomers in the presence of an emulsifier in an amount, on the solid basis, of 5 to 100 parts by weight per 100 parts by weight of said monomers, said emulsifier being selected from the group consisting of polyacrylic acid, a copolymer of acrylic acid with at least one member selected from the group consisting of methacrylic acid, an acrylamide, a methacrylamide or a hydrophilic monomer of the formula: ##STR2## in which A stands for a hydrogen atom or a methyl group, R represents a substituted or unsubstituted alkene having 2 to 4 carbon atoms, and X is a functional group containing at least one of oxygen, phosphorous and sulfur atoms, and mixtures of said acrylic acid and copolymer, wherein said .alpha., .beta.-ethylenically unsaturated monomers to be polymerized are selected from the group consisting of acrylic esters, methacrylic esters, acrylonitrile, methacrylonitrile, vinyl acetate, vinyl chloride, vinyl ketones, vinyl toluene, styrene, acrylamides, methacrylamides and the hydrophilic monomers of the formula above; the polymer microparticles having a means diameter of 0.1 to 3.mu. and being hardened by using as a part of said .alpha.,.beta.-ethylenically unsaturated monomers, either a monomer having in its molecule two and more ethylenical unssaturation bondings capable of entering into a radical polymerization, thereby causing inner gelation of the polymer, or by using appropriate monomers capable of bringing the glass transition tempertaure of the polymer from 15.degree. to 110.degree. C., and a water soluble chromium compound in which 25 to 50% by weight of the chromium atoms are trivalent, the weight ratio of emulsion solid to metal chromium being 1:10 to 5:1.
- 2. A composition according to claim 1 wherein the content of trivalent chromium in the water soluble chromium compound is 35 to 45% by weight of the total chromium contained.
- 3. A composition according to claim 1 wherein the glass transition temperature of the emulsion polymer is 40.degree. to 110.degree. C.
- 4. A composition according to any one of the preceding claims wherein the weight ratio of emulsion solid to metal chromium is 2:1 to 1:2.
