New Polymeric Materials for Metal Conversion Coating Applications A. Lindert and J. I. Maurer Parker Chemical Company, 32100 Stephenson Highway, Madison Heights, MI 48071

In order to obtain maximum corrosion protection for painted metal articles, the metal parts are pretreated with an inorganic conversion coating prior to the painting operation. These zinc or iron phosphate coatings greatly increase both paint adhesion and corrosion protection. T r a d i t i o n a l l y , a chromic acid post-treatment has been applied to these phosphatized metal surfaces to further enhance corrosion protection. Due to environmental concerns, research efforts have been directed toward the replacement of chromate-based post-treatments. This paper focuses on a new unique chromium free post-treatment based on "Mannich d e r i v a t i v e s " of po1y-νiny1phenol which have demonstrated excellent performance on both zinc and iron phosphate treatments.
