Definitions
- the present invention relates to a method for producing an anodic electrodeposition coating (ATL) using a low-solvent / free electrodeposition coating bath (ATL bath), wherein electrodialysis in the ETL bath is not required to maintain the bath and coating parameters. It is also not necessary to regularly discard ultrafiltrate.
- ATL bath low-solvent / free electrodeposition coating bath
- Electrodeposition coating is used to bring a workpiece with an electrically conductive surface made of metal or from electrically conductive plastic or from a substrate provided with an electrically conductive coating into an aqueous ATL bath and connected as an anode to a direct current source.
- the ATL bath consists of an aqueous dispersion, e.g. Suspension or emulsion or from an aqueous solution of one or more binders which have been made at least partially water-dispersible or water-soluble by salt formation with organic or inorganic neutralizing agents, from pigments, fillers, additives and other auxiliaries dispersed therein.
- aqueous dispersion e.g. Suspension or emulsion or from an aqueous solution of one or more binders which have been made at least partially water-dispersible or water-soluble by salt formation with organic or inorganic neutralizing agents, from pigments, fillers, additives and other auxiliaries dispersed therein.
- the usual ATL baths are operated continuously, i.e.
- the substrates described above are immersed and coated in an electrodeposition basin filled with the coating agent. This removes solid matter from the ATL bath and at the same time releases neutralizing agent in the ATL bath.
- the supplied refill material with an increased solid content is neutralized less than the ATL bath, and the released neutralizing agent is required to disperse / homogenize the refill material in the ATL bath and is consumed in the process.
- the compensation can also be done with fully neutralized refill material.
- the expenditure on equipment is then greater, however, since the released neutralizing agent has to be removed by means of (electro) dialysis (Glasurit Manual 1984, page 377 and Willibald Machu "Electrocoating", Verlag Chemie GmbH Weinheim / Bergstrasse, 1974, page 166).
- the neutralizing agent released during the coating can also be removed by regularly discarding ultrafluidate.
- Electro-dip coating which still contains 6% organic solvent in the refill paste form and 0.5% in the running bath.
- the cathodes can also be placed in the ATL bath in washable dialysis cells (electrodialysis) and the neutralizing agent obtained there discarded, or the coating material can be subjected to ultrafiltration continuously or discontinuously and the ultrafiltrate obtained at least partially at regular intervals discard. Because of the higher investment costs and a higher maintenance and monitoring effort, such electrodialysis devices are not available in most ATL baths. The regular discarding of ultrafiltrate or dialysate also requires more effort in the treatment of water and is therefore undesirable.
- the object was therefore to provide a process for the preparation of an aqueous, low-solvent or solvent-free coating composition for anodic electrocoating, when used to coat conductive substrates in an ATL bath to maintain the
- Bath and coating parameters do not mean removal of the neutralizing agent released during coating by an electrodialysis device is required and a large amount of ultrafiltrate does not have to be regularly discarded.
- an anodic refill material consisting of a pigment-free aqueous binder component and a pigment-containing aqueous paste resin component, is used to compensate for the coating material used in the electro-dip coating and the neutralizing agent released, which is so low that it is under-neutralized so that when it is added to the ATL bath compensates the neutralizing agent released there and still contains only small amounts of organic solvents.
- the invention therefore relates to a process for anodic electrodeposition in which the coating agent used in an anodic electrodeposition bath is compensated for by a neutralized anodic refill material, which is characterized in that the refill material consists of
