Claims
- 1. A process for preparing formulations comprising bismuth salts, the process comprising:
- A) reacting 1.0 mol of bismuth oxide in the following steps Aa) to Ac) with a total of 4.0 mol of lactic acid;
- Aa) homogenizing 1.0 mol of bismuth oxide and 2.0 mol of lactic acid in the presence of water at from 20 to 40.degree. C. for from 30 to 60 minutes,
- Ab) adding 1.0 mol of lactic acid to the mixture obtained in Aa) and again homogenizing this mixture at from 30 to 40.degree. C. for from 30 to 60 minutes, and
- Ac) repeating the procedure according to Ab), carrying out homogenization until the color of the reaction mixture has changed from an initial yellow to white to thereby form a mixture comprising bismuthyl lactate and bismuth lactate; and
- B) combining the mixture comprising bismuthyl lactate and bismuth lactate obtained according to Aa) to Ac) with a cationic coating binder, with the proviso that the content of bismuth, based on the overall solids content of the formulation, is from 25 to 45 % by weight.
- 2. The process as claimed in claim 1, wherein the content of bismuth, based on the overall solids content of the formulation, is from 30 to 40% by weight.
- 3. The process as claimed in claim 1, wherein in step B), the cationic coating binder is crosslinkable by a process selected from the group consisting of transesterification, transamidation, transurethanization, reaction of terminal double bonds, and combinations thereof.
- 4. The process as claimed in claim 1, wherein the cationic coating binder is a pigment paste resin.
- 5. The process as claimed in claim 1, wherein the formulations have a viscosity in the range of from 4000 to 10,000 mPa.multidot.s/23.degree. C.
- 6. The process as claimed in claim 1, wherein the content of bismuth, based on the overall solids content of the formulation, is from 32.6 to 38.5% by weight.
- 7. A process for making a cathodic electrodeposition material comprising combining: (1) a formulation prepared in accordance with the process of claim 1; and (2) a cationic coating binder that is crosslinkable by a process selected from the group consisting of transesterification, transamidation, transurethanization, reaction of terminal double bonds, and combinations thereof, said cationic coating binder of (2) above being the same or different from the cationic coating binder of step B), with the proviso that the cathodic electrodeposition material has a content of bismuth, based on the solids content of the overall cationic coating binder of B) and (2), of from 0.5 to 3.0% by weight.
- 8. The process as claimed in claim 7, wherein the content of bismuth, based on the solids content of the overall coating binder, is from 0.8 to 2.5% by weight.
- 9. The process as claimed in claim 7, wherein the cathodic electrodeposition material is in the form of a dispersion.
- 10. The process as claimed in claim 7, wherein the content of bismuth, based on the solids content of the overall coating binder, is from 0.8 to 2.4% by weight.
- 11. A cathodic electrodeposition material prepared in accordance with claim 7.
- 12. The cathodic electrodeposition material as claimed in claim 11, wherein the content of bismuth, based on the solids content of the overall coating binder, is from 0.8 to 2.5% by weight.
- 13. The cathodic electrodeposition material as claimed in claim 11, wherein the cathodic electrodeposition material is in the form of a dispersion.
- 14. The cathodic electrodeposition material as claimed in claim 11, wherein the content of bismuth, based on the solids content of the overall coating binder, is from 0.8 to 2.4% by weight.
