AUTODEPOSITION--A NEW PROCESS FOR CONTROLLING CORROSION (PAINT)

An entirely new concept for applying organic films to steel surfaces relies on chemical attack of the metal substrate and use of the reaction products to deposit a latex polymer which forms a continuous film on curing. The method for application of films via autodeposition requires immersion process steps, although spray stages are used in cleaning and rinsing. The system conserves energy, eliminates fire hazards, requires little space, and has unlimited throw power. Details are given of the basic steps involved: cleaning, rinsing, coating, rinsing, reaction rinsing, and curing. The corrosion protection provided by the coating process is very good. Normal day-to-day salt spray requirements of 168 hours can be routinely achieved in production.
