This invention is directed to a cathodic electrocoating composition and in particular to a cathodic electrocoating composition containing a reactive additive which reduces the VOC (volatile organic content) of the composition and upon curing of the composition reacts with other constituents in the composition and improves the rate of cure of the composition and chip resistance of the resulting finish.
The coating of electrically conductive substrates by an electrodeposition process (also called an electrocoating process) is a well known and important industrial process. Electrodeposition of primers to automotive substrates is widely used in the automotive industry. In this process, a conductive article, such as an autobody or an auto part, is immersed in a bath of a coating composition of an aqueous emulsion of film forming polymer and actsAll eyes on judgeships at the courthouse
