Description

The present invention relates to cathodic electrocoating binders which are based on polyadducts, polymers and polycondensates possessing basic nitrogen groups and which can be diluted with water when protonated with an acid.
German Laid-Open Application DOS No. 2,357,075 discloses cathodic electrocoating binders which are prepared by reacting phenolic Mannich bases with epoxy resins.
German Laid-Open Application DOS No. 2,942,488 describes polyadducts which possess basic nitrogen groups, and groups, which are bonded to aromatic rings and are capable of crosslinking on baking, of the general formula (I) ##STR1## where R.sup.1 and R.sup.2 are identical or different and are each hydrogen or methyl. Polyadducts of this type, also, are useful as cathodic electrocoating binders.
German Patent Application No. P 3,124,088.7 proposes bath compositions for cataphoretic electrocoating which contain phenolic Mannich bases as well as groups of the formula (I) which are bonded to aromatic rings.
All these products have in common the fact that they contain a high proportion of epoxy resins. The baked surface coatings have good adhesion to metal and afford good protection against corrosion, but are somewhat brittle.
It is an object of the present invention to provide a cathodic electrocoating binder which gives surface coatings with improved resilience and impact resistance.
We have found that this object is achieved by the presence of special amide-amines.
The present application relates to a cathodic electrocoating binder which is based on polyadducts, polymers or polycondensates possessing basic nitrogen groups in each case, and can be diluted with water when protonated with an acid, wherein the binder comprises a mixture of
(A) from 50 to 95 percent by weight of one or more polyadducts, polymers or polycondensates which possess basic nitrogen groups in each case and
(B) from 50 to 5 percent by weight of one or more amide-amines obtained by reacting a monocarboxylic acid of 6 to 24 carbon atoms or a dicarboxylic acid of 4 to 48 carbon atoms, or their esters, with a diamine which possesses one primary and one secondary amino group per molecule, the secondary amino group carrying a .beta.-hydroxyalkyl group,
with the proviso that component (A) consists of (A.sub.1) one or more phenolic Mannich bases, which are obtained from
(a) monophenols or polyphenols,
(b) one or more primary or secondary amines and
(c) formaldehyde or a formaldehyde donor, and may or may not have been reacted with an epoxy resin, or
(A.sub.2) one or more polyadducts, polymers or polycondensates which have activated C--C double bonds, some or all of which can be blocked by adduct formation with a secondary amine,
and, instead of a mixture of (A) and (B), the reaction product of component (B) with component (A) or with an intermediate of component (A) can also be used.
The present invention furthermore relates to the use of the novel cathodic electrocoating binder for metal articles.
The novel binders can be processed in an advantageous manner, give stable electrocoating baths with high throwing power and high dielectric strength, and produce coatings with very good mechanical properties, in particular high toughness and resilience.
The following details may be noted concerning the components which make up the surface-coating binder according to the invention:
Suitable components (A) are polyadducts, polymers or polycondensates which possess basic nitrogen groups in each case and which consists of:
(A.sub.1) one or more phenolic Mannich bases, which are obtained from
(a) monophenols and/or polyphenols,
(b) one or more primary or secondary amines and
(c) formaldehyde or a formaldehyde donor, and may or may not have been reacted with an epoxy resin, and/or
(A.sub.2) one or more polyadducts, polymers and/or polycondensates possessing activated C--C double bonds, some or all of which can be blocked by adduct formation with secondary amines.
Examples of suitable components (A.sub.1) are the products described in German Laid-Open Application DOS No. 2,357,075. Products of this type are prepared, for example, as follows: in a first stage, a condensed phenol, preferably 2,2-bis-[4-hydroxyphenyl]-propane (bisphenol A) is reacted with one or more secondary amines, each of which possesses one or more hydroxyalkyl groups, or a mixture of a secondary amine of this type with another secondary or primary amine, and formaldehyde or a formaldehyde donor. In a second stage, the polymer molecule is built up, in a polyaddition reaction, with an epoxy resin, for example one based on bisphenol A and epichlorohydrin.
Further suitable components (A.sub.1) are the products described in German Laid-Open Application DOS No. 2,419,179. These are similar to the products described in German Laid-Open Application DOS No. 2,357,075, but additionally contain phenols which possess ether groups and can be prepared, for example, by reacting bisphenol A with less than the stoichiometric amount of an epoxy resin.
Examples of other products which are suitable as components (A) and have the characteristics of component (A.sub.1) as well as of component (A.sub.2) are those described in German Patent Application Nos. P 31 24 089.5, P 31 24 088.7 and P 31 23 968.4. Products of this type can be prepared by subjecting a monophenol or polyphenol to a Tscherniac-Einhorn reaction with N-methylolacrylamide, N-methylolmethacrylamide or N-methylolcrotonamide in the presence of an acid, and thereafter, in a Michael addition reaction, adding one or more secondary amines at the double bonds. These phenols may then be subjected to a Mannich reaction with a secondary amine and formaldehyde under conditions conventionally used for such reactions, ie. from room temperature or slightly elevated temperatures to about 120.degree. C., aminomethyl groups being introduced into the remaining free ortho- or para-positions of the phenyl nuclei. When the product is reacted with an epoxy resin, the resin obtained is very suitable as component (A.sub.1).
Suitable components (A.sub.2) are, in general, polyadducts, polycondensates or polymers which in each case possess C--C double bonds which are activated by adjacent electron-attracting substituents. Examples of such activated double bonds are acrylic, methacrylic and crotonic double bonds which may be incorporated via an amide or ester group.
Products of this type can be prepared, for example as described in German Laid-Open Application DOS No. 2,707,482, by reacting a resin containing both tertiary amino and hydroxyl groups with a diisocyanate which has been reacted beforehand with, for example, hydroxyethyl acrylate to convert half the molecule. Suitable products may also be obtained by reacting some of the epoxide groups of an epoxy resin with an amine and reacting the remainder of these groups with acrylic acid or methacrylic acid, as described in, for example, German Laid-Open Applications DOS No. 2,429,527 and DOS No. 2,749,776.
The vinyl ester resin which can be prepared from an epoxy resin and acrylic acid, methacrylic acid or the half ester of tetrahydrophthalic and hydroxymethyl methacrylate can also be used as component (A.sub.2). These vinyl ester resins must be modified to introduce a basic group, for example by adduct formation with a diisocyanate which has been reacted, to convert half the molecule, with an alcohol possessing a tertiary amino group.
Resins whose activated double bonds are present in the form of acrylamidomethyl or methacrylamidomethyl groups bonded to aromatic rings may likewise be employed as component (A.sub.2). The preparation of such resins is described in German Laid-Open Applications DOS No. 2,942,488 and DOS No. 3,021,300.4.
The novel surface-coating binder in general contains component (A) in an amount of from 50 to 95, preferably from 75 to 90, percent by weight, based on the total amount of components (A)+(B).
(B) Suitable amide-amines (B) are those which are obtained by reacting a monocarboxylic acid of 6 to 24, preferably 10 to 18, carbon atoms and/or a dicarboxylic acid of 4 to 48, preferably 6 to 36, carbon atoms, or their esters, with a diamine which possesses one primary and one secondary amino group per molecule, the secondary amino group carrying a .beta.-hydroxyalkyl group. Amide-amines of this type can be prepared, for example, simply by heating the above components at from 100.degree. to 250.degree. C., water or alcohol being split off.
Suitable monocarboxylic acids are those of no less than 24 carbon atoms, but the number of carbon atoms should be no less than 6 in order to impart resilience or plasticity to the product. Examples of suitable monocarboxylic acids are caproic acid, ethylhexanoic acid and versatic acid, and naturally occurring fatty acids or their hydrogenation products, eg. stearic acid, palmitic acid, oleic acid, linoleic acid and linolenic acid, or naturally occurring mixtures, eg. soya bean fatty acid, linseed oil fatty acid, etc. are particularly suitable.
Suitable dicarboxylic acids are those of 4 to 48 carbon atoms, examples being succinic acid, glutaric acid and adipic acid. Dimerized fatty acids are particularly suitable. The monocarboxylic acids or dicarboxylic acids can be employed either as free acids or in the form of their esters with lower alcohols, eg. methanol, ethanol or propanol. Instead of fatty acids, naturally occurring oils, ie. the glycerol esters of these acids, may also be employed.
Particularly suitable diamines which possess one primary and one secondary amino group per molecule, where the secondary amino group carries a .beta.-hydroxyalkyl group, are those in which the amino groups are separated by 2 to 6 carbon atoms and whose secondary amino group carries a .beta.-hydroxyethyl, .beta.-hydroxypropyl or .beta.-hydroxybutyl group. Examples of these are aminoethylethanolamine, aminopropylethanolamine, aminoethylisopropanolamine and aminopropylisopropanolamine.
In the reaction of the carboxylic acid with the primary/secondary diamine, in general one mole of amine is employed per equivalent of carboxylic acid or ester, but it is also possible to use slightly less than the stoichiometric amount of amine, especially in the reaction with a dicarboxylic acid. In this reaction, polycondensation leads to short-chain polyamides with terminal amino groups.
To obtain amide-amines which can be used, in accordance with the invention, as component (B), it is absolutely necessary to use, for the reaction with the carboxylic acid, a primary/secondary diamine in which the secondary amino group carries a .beta.-hydroxyalkyl group. When other diamines, for example primary diamines, such as ethylenediamine or propylenediamine, or primary/secondary amines whose secondary amino group carries an alkyl group are used for the reaction with the carboxylic acid, a mixture of diamides, amide-amines and free diamines are obtained, since the differences in the reactivities of the individual amino groups in respect of condensation with a carboxylic acid are too small.
If, on the other hand, a carboxylic acid or its ester is reacted with a primary/secondary diamine whose secondary amino group carries a -hydroxyalkyl group, the primary amino group reacts preferentially. One mole of a diamine and one mole of a monocarboxylic acid or its ester give virtually pure amide-amine with free secondary amino groups, while one mole of a dicarboxylic acid and 2 moles of a diamine give a diamide-amine with 2 secondary amino groups. These special amide-amines are employed, in accordance with the invention, in combination with the component (A.sub.1) and/or component (A.sub.2) in order to prepare a resilient and impact-resistant cathodic electrocoating binder.
The amide-amines employed as component (B) can be used as a mixture with components (A.sub.1) and/or (A.sub.2), but in many cases it is advantageous to incorporate the amide-amines into one or both of components (A.sub.1) and (A.sub.2).
If the amide-amine (B) is to be incorporated into polymers possessing activated double bonds (A.sub.2), this may be effected by addition of the amide-amine at these double bonds by means of a Michael reaction. Incorporation into component (A.sub.1) can be effected by means of a Mannich reaction. Advantageously, this reaction is carried out by a method in which the amide-amine and other primary or secondary amines are condensed with formaldehyde and phenols to give phenolic Mannich bases, which may or may not be subsequently reacted with an epoxy resin.
Where components (A.sub.1) and (A.sub.2) are epoxy resins which have been modified to contain activated double bonds, for example those resins described in German Laid-Open Applications DOS No. 2,429,527, DOS No. 2,749,776 and DOS No. 2,942,488, the amide-amine can also be incorporated into either of these components by reaction of its amino groups with the epoxide groups of the epoxy resins employed. Amide-amines which are obtained from dicarboxylic acids and are substantially difunctional give, in this reaction, epoxy resins having extended chains. However, it is also possible to use an amide-amine which is based on a monocarboxylic acid, and which undergoes addition at one of the epoxide groups of the epoxy resin and hence incorporates into the molecule terminal or side chains which impart plasticity.
Of course, it is also possible to employ an amide-amine obtained from a mixture of a dicarboxylic acid with a monocarboxylic acid.
The amount of amide-amine (B) employed depends on the desired mechanical properties of the surface coatings obtainable with the coating bath prepared from the novel binders, and may vary from 5 to 50%, based on the total amount of binder components (A)+(B). For most purposes, an amount of amide-amine of about 10-25% is sufficient.
After protonation with an acid, for example phosphoric acid or one of its derivatives, but preferably a water-soluble carboxylic acid, eg. acetic acid, formic acid or lactic acid, the novel binders can be diluted with water and may be employed for the cathodic electrocoating of electrically conductive substrates, for example metal articles, sheet metal and the like made of brass, copper, aluminum, iron or steel, which may or may not be chemically pretreated.
The aqueous solutions or dispersions of the surface coating binders, some or all of which are in the form of a salt of a water-soluble carboxylic acid, can in addition contain further assistants conventionally used in cathodic electrocoating, such as pigments, soluble dyes, organic solvents, flow improvers, stabilizers, hardening catalysts, antifoams and other assistants and additives.
The surface coating binders prepared by the novel process can be used both as the principal base resin for electrocoating and as the mill base resin in a pigment paste.
For cathodic electrocoating, the solids content of the electrocoating bath is in general brought to 5-30 percent by weight by dilution with demineralized water. The deposition is in general carried out at from 15.degree. to 40.degree. C. for a period of from 1 to 2 minutes at a bath pH of from 5.0 to 10, preferably from 5.7 to 8.5, at a deposition voltage of from 50 to 500 volt.
After residue of bath material has been rinsed off, the film which has been cathodically deposited on the electrically conductive article is baked at about 140.degree.-200.degree. C. for about 10-40 minutes.
The novel coating compositions, when used for cathodic electrocoating, possess very good throwing power, and give coatings having excellent mechanical properties, such as great hardness and toughness, coupled with very good resilience and firm adhesion to the substrate.
Furthermore, the coatings obtained using these compositions have good solvent resistance and resistance to corrosion, for example in the salt spray test.





In the Examples, parts and percentages are by weight, unless stated otherwise.
Preparation of the amide-amines (B)
Amide-amine I
290 parts of linseed oil fatty acid (eg. .RTM.Nouracid LE 80) and 104 parts of aminoethylethanolamine were heated to 200.degree. C. in the course of 1 hour and kept at this temperature for a further 31/2 hours. A total of 18 parts of water were distilled off.

EXAMPLE 2
600 parts of phenol, 485 parts of bisphenol A, 1,000 parts of acrylamide, 490 parts of paraformaldehyde and 1 part of 2,6-di-tert.-butyl-p-cresol were introduced successively into a stirred kettle and heated at 120.degree. C., while stirring, until a clear solution was formed. The solution was then cooled, 10 parts of boron trifluoride dimethyl etherate were added at 50.degree. C., and the mixture was kept at this temperature, by cooling, until the reaction was complete. The mixture was then heated to 100.degree. C., kept at this temperature for 30 minutes, during which the water of reaction was distilled off under reduced pressure, and then diluted with 1,000 parts of isobutanol. The product had a solids content of 70%.
40 parts of the amide-amine I, 40 parts of diethanolamine and 0.1 part of 2,6-di-tert.-butyl-p-cresol were added to 157.5 parts of the above product, and the mixture was heated at 80.degree.

Thereafter, 120 parts of an epoxy resin, based on bisphenol A and epichlorohydrin and having an epoxide equivalent weight of 190 (eg. .RTM.Epikote 828), and 93 parts of isopropanol were added, and the mixture was heated at 85.degree. C., for 15 hours. After the addition of 10 parts of acetic acid, the product was water-dilutable. 2,500 parts of water were added slowly, while stirring, to give a stable aqueous dispersion having a pH of 6.5 and a solids content of 11%.
EXAMPLE FOR COMPARISON WITH EXAMPLE 2
The procedure described in Example 2 was followed, but without the addition of 40 parts of the amide-amine I. By adding 10 parts of acetic acid and 2,100 parts of water, a stable aqueous dispersion was produced.
The dispersions obtained as described in Example 2 and in the Comparative Example were stirred for 24 hours at 30.degree. C., after which 200 ppm of lead in the form of lead acetate were added in each case. Zinc-phosphatized steel sheets which had not been rinsed to render them passive, as well as degreased steel sheets, were then coated using these baths.
