Abstract:
A process forming an organic coating, such as an autodeposited coating, on a plurality of small metallic articles by contacting the articles with a liquid coating composition containing an organic film-forming material comprising:(A) providing a plurality of said articles, with at least some of the articles being in contact with at least one other of said articles;(B) immersing the articles into a bath of said composition under conditions such that said articles are not in conttact with another article in said composition;(C) maintaining said articles in separated form in said composition for a period of time sufficiently long for the entirety of the surfaces of said articles to be coated with said composition; and(D) collecting the coated articles in the bath in a form in which at least some of the coated articles are in contact with another of said coated articles;wherein the coating composition is capable of forming on a steel panel immersed therein a coating having a wet strength such that its rinse resistance is at least about 30 seconds.
Abstract:
An autodeposition bath for coating steel and similar metals is operated initially with a low content of dissolved iron and at a high oxidizing potential. After the iron content has increased beyond a specific level, such as 1.5 g/l, the oxidizing potential is reduced. This permits continued satisfactory operation of the bath with lower rates of iron accumulation in the bath, so that the need for bath stabilization by removing dissolved iron is deferred.
Abstract:
A method for stabilizing the iron salt content of a PVDC latex autodeposition bath by: filtering a metered portion of the bath to separate it into a filtrate containing the iron salts and a retentate containing the latex and pigment particles; discarding the filtrate; recycling the retentate back into the bath; and adding D.I. water in a volume equal to that of the filtrate.
Abstract:
A multiple stage autodeposition of organic polymer coating compositions deposited onto metal substrates wherein the coating composition's thickness does not increase by more than about 20.DELTA. compared to a single dry coating. The coated metal substrates formed by the process of the instant invention are corrosion resistant.
Abstract:
Method and composition for applying a coating to a metallic surface, the surface being immersed in an acidic aqueous coating composition comprising dispersed solid particles of an organic polymeric resinous coating-forming material and an oxidizing agent, wherein the weight or thickness of the coating formed on the surface is a function of the time the surface is immersed in the composition.
Abstract:
Coating compositions which can be used for depositing a coating on a metal substrate by a chemical deposition process based on aqueous emulsions of adducts of alpha, beta-ethylenically unsaturated carboxylic acids to alkane diene polymers with an acid content corresponding to 12.5 to 25% by weight of maleic anhydride calculated on the adduct. The coating compositions on deposition provide films which have excellent recoatability, excellent corrosion resistance, and permit the elimination or a reduction in the amount of conventionally used additives in a chemical deposition bath. The coating compositions can be employed in other conventional coating processes.
Abstract:
An aqueous composition comprising resin and pigment for use in an acidic aqueous coating composition, wherein substantially all the resin is associated with pigment, such that when said coating composition is applied to a metallic surface a resinous coating having uniform color is formed; the acidic aqueous coating composition, having resin and pigment therein, is of the type which forms on a metallic surface immersed therein a resinous coating which increases in thickness or weight the longer the time the surface is contacted with the coating composition; aqueous resin/pigment concentrate for use in the coating composition is prepared by combining an aqueous dispersion of resin solids with an aqueous dispersion of pigment solids in a manner such that substantially all of the resin solids have substantially the same opportunity to associate with the pigment solids.
Abstract:
A METALLIC SURFACE IS COATED WITH A POLYMERIC RESINOUS COATING BY IMMERSING THE SURFACE IN AN ACIDIC AQUEOUS COATING COMPOSITION COMPRISING POLYMERIC RESINOUS COATING-FORMING MATERIAL AND AN OXIDIZING AGENT. THE CORROSION RESISTANCE AND/OR THE SURFACE APPERANCE OF THE RESINOUS COATING IS MODIFIED BY RISING THE COATING WITH AN AQUEOUS RINSE SOLUTION CONTAINING HEXAVALENT CHROMIUM OR AN AQUEOUS RINSE SOLUTION CONTAINING HEXAVALENT CHROMIUM AND REDUCED FORMS OF CHROMIUM.
Abstract:
METHOD AND COMPOSITION FOR APPLYING A COATING TO A METALLIC SURFACE WHEREIN THE SURFACE IS IMMERSED IN AN ACIDIC AQUEOUS COATING COMPOSITION COMPRISING PARTICLES OF RESIN DISPERSED IN THE COMPOSITION, FLUORIDE ION AND AN OXIDIZING AGENT (H202 OR DICHROMATE) AND WHEREIN THE WEIGHT OF COATING FORMED ON THE SURFACE CAN BE CONTROLLED BY THE TIME THE SURFACE IS IMMERSED IN THE COMPOSITION.
