Abstract: An improved method of pretreating and electrostatically coating an article made of a material which has little or no conductivity, and the article made therefrom.
Abstract: A method of electrostatically coating a substrate including the steps of applying a surface treatment composition to the substrate to induce conductivity, applying a charge to the substrate after applying the surface treatment and electrostatically applying a coating to the substrate, and articles made therefrom. The surface treatment composition includes a halogen, halogen salt, or halogen complex.
