Application to enamelling objects Figure to be published: FIG. 2.
Abstract:
The method of coating an elongated metallic member with a thermosetting plastic powder coating or with a thermosetting plastic powder undercoating and a thermoplastic powder outer coating, is significantly improved by passing the coated elongated metallic member through at least one induction coil to heat the metal and thereby the coating to the curing temperature of the thermosetting plastic powder and holding the temperature for the curing time. Curing temperatures, which depend upon the thermosetting plastic powder coating being cured, are sufficient to fully cure the material within seconds.
Abstract:
Unique polished metal flake pigmented, plastic powder products produced, e.g. by a process including the measure of brush polishing metal flake particles and plastic particles together.
Abstract:
In an electrostatic coating system in which material is sprayed onto a workpiece under the influence of an electrostatic field, any electrostatic charge supplied to the workpiece is removed by a discharging device maintained out of contact with the workpiece and disposed so that its effective range is outside the material spray region.
Abstract:
A coating powder is made by preparing a composition of two different diglycidyl ethers of bisphenol A and a curing agent, extruding the composition, cooling it to form a solid, and grinding the solid into a powder. Wire or other articles are coated with the coating powder in an electrostatic fluidized bed or with an electrostatic gun and the powder is cured.

Abstract:
Certain glycerides are effective flow-promoting agents in powdered acrylic coating formulations. As a powdered acrylic resin coating material is applied by electrostatic sprayer means to a substrate, a rough layer of discrete particles is formed. To produce a commercially acceptable coating, this layer must be fused into a continuous film and induced to flow into a smooth, glossy finish. The subject glycerides, which may be acetylated, promote such flow and produce a surface finish equivalent to that of the conventional acrylic paints which employ an organic solvent vehicle.
Abstract:
A process of electrostatically coating cylindrical metal objects such as pipes with powdered resins is provided, in which the object is shot blasted, then subjected to high pressure fluid spray, e.g. water or steam jets, then heated above the fusion temperature of the resin, polarized and the resin powder sprayed on.
Abstract:
The perfluorocarbon polymer powder coating composition consists essentially of spherical particles about 1 to 75 microns in diameter of an agglomerate of submicron particles of the perfluorocarbon polymer; the perfluorocarbon polymer preferably is a copolymer of tetrafluoroethylene and hexafluoropropylene, and the powder particles contain about 0.5 - 15 percent by weight of a nonionic surfactant such as isooctylphenoxypolyethoxy ethanol the powder is prepared by a spray drying process; this powder composition is particularly useful for electrostatic deposition on all types of metal substrates to form a durable, tough, chemical-resistant release coating that can be applied to thicknesses of 30 mils and above; the powder coating composition is particularly useful for chemical vessels, appliances, industrial equipment, high temperature ovens and the like; a process for preparing the perfluorocarbon polymer coating composition is also disclosed.
Abstract:
A process for electrostatically applying a multilayered coating on a substrate in one operation or step is disclosed, wherein a mixture of powders of at least two different coating materials is used as the coating composition, each powder, in the case of nonconducting powders, differing from the others in dielectric constant by a factor of at least 0.1, and the powders being of substantially different specific gravities, with the components having the lowest dielectric constant value having the lowest specific gravity value. At least one of the powders will be a powder of a film-forming non-conductive organic or inorganic polymer. Upon electrostatically applying a coating of this powdered composition to a conductive substrate which has a neutral charge or a charge opposite from that of the coating composition powder particles, the powders stratify into distinct layers of different compositions. The powders adhere to the substrate because of contact or static electrification for a reasonable length of time and until at least one of the powders can be cured or fused to form the final coating. Thus, for instance, in only one pass with an electrostatic spray gun, a protective coating of superimposed layers of zinc, epoxy, and polyethylene can be applied to a conductive substrate.
