Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Provided is a composition for surface treatment of an Mg-containing galvanized steel sheet comprising a trivalent chromium compound, a carboxylated vinylidene copolymer, and a cross-linking agent. The composition for surface treatment forms a chromium (III) film and is also cross-linked in coating and drying of the surface of a galvanized steel sheet, thereby forming a three-dimensional compact molecular structure. Thus, a galvanized steel sheet coated with the composition has a coating film with high ductility, and can reduce moisture and/or oxygen permeability such that, not only does a worked section have excellent corrosion resistance, but also the occurrence of darkening and/or black dots can be prevented even when exposed to high-temperature and high-humidity environment for a long period of time.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A composition for surface treatment of a Mg-containing galvanized steel sheet, the composition comprising a trivalent chromium compound, a carboxylated vinylidene copolymer, and a crosslinking agent, wherein the carboxylated vinylidene copolymer is included in an amount of 5 wt. % to 10 wt. % based on the composition, wherein the crosslinking agent is included in an amount of 1 wt. % to 5 wt. % based on the weight of the carboxylated vinylidene copolymer, and wherein the trivalent chromium compound is included in an amount of 10 wt. % to 20 wt. % based on the composition. 2. The composition of claim 1 , wherein the carboxylated vinylidene copolymer is prepared by copolymerization between a vinylidene-based monomer and a monomer having a carboxyl group. 3. The composition of claim 2 , wherein the copolymerization is surfactant-free emulsion copolymerization. 4. The composition of claim 2 , wherein the vinylidene-based monomer is included in an amount of 10 wt % to 15 wt % based on the emulsion copolymer material. 5. The composition of claim 2 , wherein the monomer having a carboxy group is included in an amount of 0.5 wt % to 1.5 wt % based on the weight of the vinylidene-based monomer.
