Abstract:
Polyurethane/polyurea polymers can be electrostatically painted without first being coated with a conductive primer. Disclosed is a process for electrostatically painting polyurethane/polyurea polymers, the process having a step of including a non-volatile metal salt conductivity inducing material. The conductivity of the polymers of the present invention can allow them to be charged with sufficient charge density to permit efficient paint transfer to the polymer surface. Also disclosed is a composition of at least two adjacent layers, one layer being an outer layer of electrostatically applied paint, and the other an inner layer of polyurethane/polyurea polymer.
Abstract:
An electrostatically clad conduit innerduct liner and method for making the innerduct are disclosed, The process includes, heating the innerduct to a temperature less than melting point of the innerduct or a powder to be coated on the inner surface of the innderduct, The powder to be coated is electrically charged and applied to the innerduct by spraying from a nozzle having a different polarity than the innerduct to provide a substantially uniform coating.
Abstract:
Plastic substrates, such as but not limited to phenolic cellulosic composites such as those used in conventional toilet seats, are heated at a temperature and for a time sufficient to degas the substrate, and are then coated with a powder, and heated to cure the powder coating. In a preferred embodiment, a water-based electrically conductive coating is first applied to a phenolic cellulosic composite, and cured while the substrate is heated to degas the substrate sufficiently, such that a subsequently applied powder coating will not suffer from popping during curing. In a preferred embodiment, it is not necessary for the part to be at a temperature at or above the cure temperature of the coating during application of the powder coating in order to avoid popping, provided the substrate has been sufficiently degassed.
Abstract:
A novel system for depositing color cosmetic materials directly onto the skin or other parts of the body utilizes the principle of electrostatic spraying to deliver the color cosmetic composition to the intended site, e.g. the skin of the face, eyelids, eyelashes, nails, etc. The system is applicable to a wide range of known color cosmetic materials.
Abstract:
In accordance with the present invention, there is provided an aqueous electroconductive composition which is particularly useful as a coating composition for non-porous substrates. The aqueous compositions comprise(A) at least one water-dispersible or emulsifiable film-forming resin;(B) at least one electrically conductive polymer of a quaternary ammonium compound containing at least one polymerizable unsaturated group;(C) at least one hydrocarbon-soluble substituted imidazoline of a fatty acid;(D) at least one volatile organic liquid; and(E) water.In one embodiment, the aqueous electroconductive compositions are in the form of oil-in-water emulsions. The invention also relates to the use of such electroconductive coating compositions as adherent primer coatings for substrates, and in particular, non-porous substrates. Electroconductive coating compositions for depositing coatings on non-porous substrates which do not contain the substituted imidazoline (C) also are described.
Abstract:
This invention relates to a continuous process for electrostatically coating a substantially axially symmetrical object with pulverized material, characterized by conveying said object by means of a conveyor-type holding device into an electrostatic coating chamber equipped with silent discharge plate electrodes on both sides of the chamber walls: feeding electrically charged pulverized material into said chamber: electrostatically coating said object with said pulverized material by the action of silent discharge from said electrodes: and removing surplus pulverized material from the specific parts of said object by suction.This invention further relates to an apparatus used for continuously electrostatically coating a substantially axially symmetrical object with pulverized synthetic resin, characterized by comprising (i) an electrostatic coating chamber where said pulverized synthetic resin is coated on the surface of said object maintained at a temperature below the melting point of said resin, which object has been conveyed into said chamber by means of a holding device and (ii) a device for removing surplus pulverized resin from the specific parts of said object by suction in order to electrostatically coat the desired part only.

Abstract:
A system and method for forming a part via additive manufacturing and powder coating the part. The system comprises an additive manufacturing system and a powder coating system. The additive manufacturing system includes a frame, support surface, material reserve, feeder, material applicator, a set of motors, and a processor. The additive manufacturing system produces a part core formed of a non-conductive low melting point material according to a computer aided design. The powder coating system includes a primer applicator, powder coating applicator, and curing apparatus. The material applicator applies a conductive primer to an outer surface of the part core. The conductive primer is then air dried. The powder coating applicator applies an electrostatically charged powder coating to the conductive primer. The curing apparatus then cures the powder coating and conductive primer without the temperature of the core of the part reaching the non-conductive low melting point material melting point.
