Description

Description WATER-BORNE AUTODEPOSITING COATING COMPOSITIONS
Technical Field
This invention relates to a water-borne autodepositing coating composi¬ tion that has an excellent storage stability and that, when brought into contact with an electrochemically active metal surface, e.g., a surface of iron, zinc, iron alloy, or zinc alloy, efficiently coats the metal surface with a high-quality resin coating. This water-borne autodepositing coating composition is an acidic aqueous coating composition that contains water-dispersible or water-soluble organic coating-forming resin, pigment, acid, and oxidizing agent as essential components and may contain metal ions as an optional component. Background Art
Autodepositing coating compositions are acidic compositions containing organic coating-forming resin that are able to form a resin coating on the surface of an active metal brought into contact with the coating composition. Autodepos¬ iting coating compositions are disclosed, inter alia, in Japanese Patent Publica- tion Numbers Sho 47-17630 [17,630/1972], Sho 48-14412 [14,412/1973], Sho 52-21006 [21 ,006/1977], Sho 52-35692 [35,692/1977], Sho 53-15093 [15,093/ 1978], Sho 53-16010 [16,010/1978], and Sho 53-44949 [44,949/1978] and Jap¬ anese Patent Application Laid Open [Kokai] Numbers Sho 60-58474 [58,474/ 1985], Sho 61-168673 [168,673/1986], and Sho 61-246267 [246,267/1986]. When a clean active metal surface is immersed in an autodepositing coat¬ ing composition, a resin coating is formed thereon in such a manner that the coating increases in thickness or weight with increasing immersion time. Coat¬ ing formation by this type of composition is achieved through the chemical activi¬ ty of the coating composition on the metal surface: Metal ions are eluted from the metal surface by etching, and these metal ions interact with the resin parti¬ cles to cause their deposition on the metal surface. Thus, unlike electrodeposi- tion processes, autodepositing coating compositions are able to efficiently form a resin coating on metal surfaces without the use of an external source of elec- tricity.
When coloring is desired, pigment can be added to autodepositing coat¬ ing compositions in order, for example, to increase the corrosion resistance or impart the desired tinctorial strength or degree of color. Japanese Patent Pub- lication Numbers Sho 54-13453 [13,453/1979] and Sho 59-275 [275/1984] dis¬ close management of the specific amount of pigment used based on the specific type of pigment used and the desired coating color. Japanese Patent Publi¬ cation Number Sho 52-35692 [35692/1977] discloses the formation of colored coatings by immersion of the substrate in autodepositing coating compositions containing various types of pigments.
With respect to the selection of pigment type, Japanese Patent Publica¬ tion Number Sho 53-44949 teaches that there are no specific restrictions on type as long as the pigment is stable in the bath. Japanese Patent Application Laid Open Number Sho 60-58474 discloses a dispersant for maintaining the pigment particles in a dispersed state and teaches that the pigment dispersion should be selected in such a manner that the dispersant concentration in the aqueous phase of the autodepositing coating composition does not exceed the critical mi¬ celle concentration ("CMC").
United States Patent Number 4,177,180 discloses autodepositing coating compositions in which the pigment particles are dispersed and stabilized by non- ionic dispersant and also discloses a method for the preparation of such compo¬ sitions. However, United States Patent Number 4,177,180 also states that a uni¬ form coating appearance cannot be obtained when a colored coating is pro¬ duced using pigment dispersed in the form of an autodepositing coating compo- sition.
Otherwise, no examples are believed to have heretofore been reported with regard to the dispersion stability of pigmented autodepositing coating com¬ positions as a function of the type of dispersant used to disperse and stabilize the pigment particles or with regard to the properties of coatings formed by sub- strate immersion in autodepositing coating compositions containing specific pig¬ ments. Disclosure of the Invention
Problems to Be Solved by the Invention
The invention takes as its object the introduction of a black pigment-con¬ taining autodepositing coating composition that is able to generate a black coat¬ ing of uniform appearance, that exhibits a very good storage stability, and that forms a strongly adherent and highly corrosion-resistant coating.
Summary of the Invention
As a result of extensive investigations directed at solving the problems described above, the inventors discovered for the first time that very significant results are obtained by the use in otherwise conventional autodepositing coating compositions of a liquid dispersion of carbon black in which the carbon black is dispersed using a dispersant with a specific structure. The present invention was achieved based on this discovery.
In specific terms, the invention provides a water-borne autodepositing coating composition that has a pH of 1.6 to 5 and comprises, preferably consists essentially of, or still more preferably consists of: water, a water-dispersible or water-soluble organic coating-forming resin, a liquid dispersion of carbon black that was separately prepared and was mixed with other constituents of the auto- deposition composition in the course of making the autodeposition composition, acid, and oxidizing agent, and, optionally, metal ions, wherein said liquid disper¬ sion of carbon black, before it was mixed with all of the other ingredients of the autodepositing composition, comprised, preferably consisted essentially of, or more preferably consisted of, water, carbon black, and a dispersant that is a naphthalenesulfonate-formaldehyde condensate conforming to formula (I):

where X = Na, V-;Ca, or NH4 and n is an integer with a value of at least 1. Description of Preferred Embodiments The most important characteristic feature of the invention is the use, as the liquid dispersion of carbon black incorporated into the water-borne autode¬ positing coating composition, of an aqueous carbon black dispersion in which the carbon black is dispersed in water using a naphthalenesulfonate-formalde- hyde condensate conforming to formula (I).
No narrow restrictions obtain in the present invention on the quantity of dispersant used; however, an amount of 10 to 35 weight %, based on carbon black, is preferred from a consideration of dispersion stability (during accelerat- ed stability testing). The degree of condensation of the naphthalenesulfonate acid-formaldehyde condensate in formula (I), which is indicated by the subscript n in formula (I), is preferably 10 to 30 based on dispersibility considerations. Fi¬ nally, the naphthalenesulfonate-formaldehyde condensate preferably is used in the form of an ammonium salt (i.e., X = NH4), based on an overall consideration of dispersion stability and coating performance.
The carbon black concentration in the liquid dispersion of carbon black is also not critical, but a 15 to 50 % dispersion is preferred. The coating compo¬ sition preferably contains 0.5 to 7.5 grams per liter (hereinafter usually abbrevi¬ ated as "g L") of carbon black and more preferably contains 1.0 to 1.5 g/L of car- bon black.
The generally known channel blacks and furnace blacks may be used as the carbon black in the present invention.
The heretofore known autodepositing coating compositions are well suit¬ ed for use as the autodepositing coating composition employed in the present invention, except for the change in the source of at least some of any carbon black previously used. In particular, no new restrictions apply to the organic coating-forming resins usable by the present invention, and those resins hereto¬ fore known for this purpose may be used for the present invention. Examples thereof are urethane resins, epoxy resins, polyester resins, and polymeric resins composed of one or more monomers selected from methyl acrylate, ethyl acryl- ate, n-butyl acrylate, 2-hydroxyethyl acrylate, 2-hydroxypropyl acrylate, 2-ethyl- hexyl acrylate, methyl methacrylate, ethyl methacrylate, n-butyl methacrylate, 2- hydroxyethyl methacrylate, 2-hydroxypropyl methacrylate, glycidyl acrylate, gly- cidyl methacrylate, acrylamide, methacrylamide, acrylonitrile, styrene, ethylene, butadiene, vinyl chloride, vinylidene chloride, vinyl acetate, acrylic acid, metha- crylic acid, and the like.
More specifically, Japanese Patent Application Laid Open Number Sho 60-58474 discloses coating compositions that contain dispersed vinylidene chloride-based copolymer, for example, copolymer composed of 50 to 70 weight % of vinylidene chloride; approximately 5 to 35 weight % of vinyl chloride; ap- proximately 5 to 20 weight % of vinylic compound comprising at least 1 selection from acrylic acid, methacrylic acid, methyl acrylate, ethyl acrylate, butyl acrylate, ethyl methacrylate, acrylamide, methacrylamide, acrylonitrile, and methacryloni- trile; and approximately 0.1 to 5 weight % of sulfoethyl methacrylate. The pre¬ ferred vinylidene chloride-based copolymer disclosed therein contains approxi- mately 15 to 20 weight % of vinyl chloride, 2 to 5 weight % of butyl acrylate, 3 to 10 weight % of acrylonitrile, and approximately 1 to 2 weight % of sulfoethyl methacrylate (for example, Daran™ latices from W R. Grace & Company, Ser- fene™ latices from Morton Chemical, and Haloflex™ 202 from Imperial Chemical Industries). The resin concentration in the water-borne autodepositing coating compo¬ sition of the present invention is preferably 5 to 550 g/L and more preferably 50 to 100 g/L. The coating composition according to the invention should have a pH of 1.6 to 5.0: A high-quality coating will not usually be formed when compo¬ sitions with a pH outside this range are used. In addition to the resin component as described above, the heretofore known water-borne autodepositing coating compositions usable by the present invention also contain acid and oxidizing agent as essential components, and may contain metal ions as an optional component. One example of applicable water-borne autodepositing coating compositions is the water-borne autodepos- iting coating composition, disclosed in Japanese Patent Application Laid Open Number Sho 49-108135 [108,135/1974], of dispersed resin at approximately 5 to 550 g/L as solids concentration; any suitable acid that can supply hydrogen ions to the composition, but preferably approximately 0.4 to 5.0 g/L of hydrofluor¬ ic acid; oxidizing agent, whose type is not critical, but which is preferably hydro¬ gen peroxide at not more than approximately 3.0 g/L; and metal compound cap- s able of furnishing metal ions, for example, approximately 1 to 50 g/L in the case of ferric fluoride. Another example is the coating composition disclosed in Jap¬ anese Patent Publication Number Sho 53-44949, which contains dispersed resin at approximately 5 to 550 g/L as solids concentration, approximately 0.4 to 5.0 g/L of hydrofluoric acid as acid, not more than approximately 3.0 g/L of hydrogen ιo peroxide as oxidizing agent, and a metal compound, for example, approximately 0.1 to 10.0 g/L in the case of silver fluoride.
The invention is explained in greater detail below with reference to work¬ ing and comparison examples.

The baths were main¬ tained at approximately 20° C to 22° C. After then rinsing with water, the panels were dried in an oven at 110° C for 20 minutes and were thereafter subjected to evaluation testing. The thickness of the coating on each test panel was approx¬ imately 20 microns for all the examples and for the comparison example with lignosulfate dispersant, the only comparison example which had a satisfactory coating performance.

(2) Corrosion Resistance
A cross cut was scribed through the paint film to the base metal, followed by salt-spray testing according to Japanese Industrial Standard Z-2371 for 500 hours. This was followed by tape peeling. Evaluation consisted of measuring the width of peel from the scribed cross (maximum on one side in mm).
The results of the performance testing on the test panels are reported in
Table 1.
The following conclusions can be drawn based on the results reported for the examples and comparison examples: 1. Naphthalenesulfonate-formaldehyde condensates with formula (I) in ac¬ cordance with the present invention were used as the carbon black dis¬ persant in all examples according to the invention. In each case, the dis¬ persion stability was excellent and the coating obtained had an excellent adherence and an excellent corrosion resistance, 2. The first comparison example listed in Table 1 employed lignosulfate, which does not conform to formula (I) as is required for this invention. In this case, the coating performance was excellent, but the dispersion sta¬ bility was poor.
3. The next two comparison examples listed in Table 1 employed as dis- persants an alkylphenol-ethylene oxide adduct and imidazoline laurate respectively; neither of these conforms to formula (I). In these cases, the dispersion stability was excellent, but coating deposition was poor. 4. In all of the remaining comparison examples, which used polyoxyethyl- ene-type dispersants, which do not conform to formula (I), or no dispers¬ ant, the dispersion stability was so poor that no autodeposition was even attempted in all these cases. Benefits of the Invention
The solids in the water-borne autodepositing coating composition of the invention do not precipitate, separate, or aggregate during storage. Moreover, when the water-borne autodepositing coating composition of the invention is brought into contact with an active metal surface, for example, the surface of a ferrous, zinciferous, aluminiferous, or magnesium-containing metal, it forms on said metal surface a black resin coating that is strongly adherent, highly corro¬ sion resistant, and uniform in appearance.
