Abstract
Abstract Disclosed herein is a cathodic electrodepositable resin containing polyamine enamine. It has been discovered that reacting epoxy resins with polyamine enamine is a viable method of introducing amine functionality to the epoxy resin. The polyamine enamine route results in the desired high pH and stable dispersion in the electrocoat bath.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 6
Claim 1
Independent Claim
125 words
In a method of electrocoating an electrically conductive surface serving as a cathode comprising passing an electric current between said cathode and an anode in electrical contact with an aqueous electrodepositable composition wherein the aqueous electrodepositable composition comprises an acid solubilized epoxy amine adduct and a blocked polyisocyanate crosslinker; wherein the improvement comprises the epoxy amine adduct is formed by reacting an epoxy resin with a polyamine enamine which is the reaction product of i) a polyamine having the formula R.sub.1 --NH--R.sub.2 --NH.sub.2 where R 1 is hydrogen, alkyl, or alkyl amine and R 2 is alkyl or alkyl amine; and ii) a C--H active dicarbonyl compound having the formula: ##STR3## where R 3 is alkyl and R 4 is alkyl, alkoxy, or alkyl amine.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
125 words
In a method of electrocoating an electrically conductive surface serving as a cathode comprising passing an electric current between said cathode and an anode in electrical contact with an aqueous electrodepositable composition wherein the aqueous electrodepositable composition comprises an acid solubilized epoxy amine adduct and a blocked polyisocyanate crosslinker; wherein the improvement comprises the epoxy amine adduct is formed by reacting an epoxy resin with a polyamine enamine which is the reaction product of i) a polyamine having the formula R.sub.1 --NH--R.sub.2 --NH.sub.2 where R 1 is hydrogen, alkyl, or alkyl amine and R 2 is alkyl or alkyl amine; and ii) a C--H active dicarbonyl compound having the formula: ##STR3## where R 3 is alkyl and R 4 is alkyl, alkoxy, or alkyl amine.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
41 words
The method of claim 1 wherein the polyamine enamine has the formula ##STR4## where R 1 hydrogen, alkyl, or alkyl amine; R 2 is alkyl or alkyl amine; R 3 is alkyl and R 4 is alkyl, alkoxy, or alkyl amine.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
16 words
The method of claim 1 wherein the polyamine is diethylene triamine, triethylene tetramine or hexamethylene diamine.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
20 words
The method of claim 1 wherein the C--H active dicarbonyl compound is 2,4 pentanedione, ethyl acetoacetate or N-substituted acetoacetate amides.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
38 words
The method of claim 1 further comprising the reaction product of an epoxy/amine adduct and the blocked polyisocyanate crosslinker wherein the epoxy/amine adduct is the reaction product of a primary or a secondary amine with an epoxy resin.
