Abstract

The present invention disclosure provides a chemical conversion coating agent which places a less burden on the environment and can apply good chemical conversion treatment to all metals such as iron, zinc and aluminum, and a surface-treated metal obtained using the same. The chemical conversion coating agent comprising: at least one kind selected from the group consisting of zirconium, titanium and hafnium; fluorine; and a water-soluble resin, wherein said water-soluble resin has, in at least a part thereof, a constituent unit expressed by the chemical formula (1): and/or the chemical formula (2):

Claims (25)

1. A chemical conversion coating agent comprising:

at least one kind selected from the group consisting of zirconium, titanium and hafnium;

fluorine; and

a water-soluble resin,

wherein said water-soluble resin is a polyallylamine which is a homopolymer having a constituent unit expressed by the chemical formula (2):

 and

wherein the water-soluble resin is a polyallylamine resin.

2. The chemical conversion coating agent according to claim 1 ,

wherein the water-soluble resin has a molecular weight of 500 to 500000, and a content of the water-soluble resin in the chemical conversion coating agent is 5 to 5000 ppm.

3. The chemical conversion coating agent according to claim 2 , containing

1 to 5000 ppm of at least one kind of a chemical conversion reaction accelerator selected from the group consisting of nitrite ion, nitro group-containing compounds, hydroxylamine sulfate, persulfate ion, sulfite ion, hyposulfite ion, peroxides, iron (III) ion, citric acid iron compounds, bromate ion, perchlorinate ion, chlorate ion, chlorite ion, as well as ascorbic acid, citric acid, tartaric acid, malonic acid, succinic acid and salts thereof.

4. The chemical conversion coating agent according to claim 3 ,

wherein the at least one kind selected from the group consisting of zirconium, titanium and hafnium has a content of 20 to 10000 ppm in terms of metal, and the chemical conversion coating agent has a pH of 1.5 to 6.5.

5. The chemical conversion coating agent according to claim 2 ,

wherein the at least one kind selected from the group consisting of zirconium, titanium and hafnium has a content of 20 to 10000 ppm in terms of metal, and the chemical conversion coating agent has a pH of 1.5 to 6.5.

6. The chemical conversion coating agent according to claim 2 , containing

1 to 5000 ppm of at least one kind of a chemical conversion reaction accelerator selected from the group consisting of nitrite ion, nitro group-containing compounds, hydroxylamine sulfate, persulfate ion, sulfite ion, hyposulfite ion, peroxides, iron (III) ion, citric acid iron compounds, bromate ion, perchlorinate ion, chlorate ion, chlorite ion, as well as ascorbic acid, citric acid, tartaric acid, malonic acid, succinic acid and salts thereof.

7. The chemical conversion coating agent according to claim 6 ,

wherein the at least one kind selected from the group consisting of zirconium, titanium and hafnium has a content of 20 to 10000 ppm in terms of metal, and the chemical conversion coating agent has a pH of 1.5 to 6.5.

8. The chemical conversion coating agent according to claim 1 ,

wherein the at least one kind selected from the group consisting of zirconium, titanium and hafnium has a content of 20 to 10000 ppm in terms of metal, and the chemical conversion coating agent has a pH of 1.5 to 6.5.

9. The chemical conversion coating agent according to claim 1 which is Substantially free from phosphate ions.

10. The chemical conversion coating agent according to claim 9 which comprises zirconium.

11. The chemical conversion coating agent according to claim 9 for obtaining a chemical conversion coating film by rinsing with water after chemical conversion coating treatment.

12. The chemical conversion coating agent according to claim 1 for manufacturing automobile bodies and parts.
