Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Cathodically depositable electrocoat materials comprising basic bismuth nitrate, further comprising at least one binder having reactive functional groups and at least one crosslinker containing the complementary reactive functional groups which are able to enter into thermal crosslinking reactions.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A method of electrocoating a substrate, comprising applying to a substrate having one or more electrically conductive surfaces in a cathodic electrodeposition process a cathodically depositable electrocoat material produced by a process comprising mixing and homogenizing at least one binder, at least one crosslinking agent, and a bismuth nitrate crosslinking catalyst consisting of a water-insoluble basic bismuth nitrate, and baking the electrocoat material at a temperature which is at least 5-10° C. lower than a baking temperature of an electrocoat material which is devoid of the water insoluble basic bismuth nitrate and sufficient to produce a same or similar degree of crosslinking as the electrocoat material. 2. The method of claim 1 wherein the applied electrocoat material produces a primer coat. 3. The method of claim 1 wherein the substrate comprises a motor vehicle or part thereof. 4. A method of crosslinking a cathodically depositable electrocoat material, comprising using a water-insoluble basic bismuth nitrate as a crosslinking catalyst in the absence of water-soluble bismuth salts in the cathodically depositable electrocoat material and baking the electrocoat material at a baking temperature that is at least 5-10° C. lower than a baking temperature of an electrocoat material which is devoid of the water-insoluble basic bismuth nitrate and sufficient to produce a same or similar degree of crosslinking as the electrocoat material.
