Patent ID: 7592067

Claim:
A process for preparing a resin coated article, the process comprising contacting a substrate with an accelerated resin composition comprising a brominated epoxy resin, a curing agent, and a cure accelerator compound; wherein the cure accelerator compound is an alkali metal containing cure accelerator compound selected from the group consisting of an alkali metal containing hydroxide, an alkali metal containing alkoxide, an alkali metal containing phenoxide, an alkali metal containing carboxylate, an alkali metal containing halide salt, an alkali metal containing borate, an alkali metal containing bicarbonate, an alkali metal containing carbonate, an alkali metal containing chlorate, an alkali metal containing nitrate, an alkali metal containing phosphate, an alkali metal containing sulfate, an alkali metal containing sulfide, an alkali metal containing sulfite, an alkali metal containing polysulfide, an alkali metal containing thiocyanate, an alkali metal containing silicate, an alkali metal containing aluminate, an alkali metal containing phosphonate, an alkali metal containing sulfonate, an alkali metal containing cyanate, an alkali metal containing thiolate, an alkali metal containing thiophenoxide, an alkali metal containing thiocarboxylate, an alkali metal containing thiophosphate, an alkali metal containing imide salt, an alkali metal ion complexed with coordinating compounds, and combinations thereof; wherein the curing agent consists essentially of dicyandiamide or a melamine; wherein the brominated epoxy resin is derived from the reaction of an epihalohydrin and a phenol or a phenol type compound; and wherein the contacting occurs by a contacting method.
